Where Refractories Are Used
Industry
Glass
Refractories in the glass industry line the melting tank, the superstructure, the working end and forehearth, the throat and the regenerator. Different furnace types take different materials, in fused, siliceous and magnesia groups: silica, clay, high alumina, sillimanite, mullite, fused mullite, zirconia-corundum, fused corundum and zirconium-containing refractory bricks.

Chemical & Petrochemical
Refractories in chemical and petrochemical plants line coal water slurry and residue oil gasifiers, secondary reformers, carbon black reactors, hydrogen production furnaces, gas generators and cracking furnaces. The technical reference's gasifier schemes build the lining from a high chrome brick working face, a chrome corundum brick backing, an alumina bubble brick insulating layer, refractory castables and a ceramic fibre coating or felt against the shell.
