Petrochemical Industry

The petrochemical production process involves a large number of high-temperature heating equipment, resulting in significant heat dissipation losses and high energy costs. Insulating refractory bricks are primarily used as the backing insulation layer for these equipment. They are used in conjunction with heavy refractory bricks or refractory castables in direct contact with the working surface, forming a composite furnace lining structure consisting of a "heavy working surface layer + lightweight insulation layer."

WAM supplies insulating materials to the Petrochem Industry worldside.

The materials are used as back-up insulation in all types of furnaces, from ore to remelting of scrap.

The superb thermal conductivity of the products is an important factor to conserve energy and to secure a good thermal efficiency in the furnaces.

The required insulating materials are defined by the smelters and a wide range of WAM products are used in various applications.

The Advantages and Significance of Using Insulating Refractory Bricks in Petrochemical Production

Energy Saving and Consumption Reduction: This is the most direct benefit. Excellent thermal insulation can reduce fuel consumption by 5%-20%, directly lowering production costs.

Equipment Protection and Extended Life: Effectively prevents thermal stress and deformation caused by high temperatures on equipment steel structures, extending the service life of core equipment.

Improving the Working Environment: Lowering workshop ambient temperature, improving operational safety, and complying with health, safety, and environmental (HSE) requirements.

Improving Process Stability: Providing a more uniform and stable temperature field for chemical reactions within the furnace, which improves product quality and yield.
