Emisshield is a high emissivity ceramic coating material. When used in the roof of an electric arc furnce it was found to reduce the presence of hot spots and increased the lifespan of the roof section and increased the period between rebuilds, decreasing maintenance costs.
Emisshield is a high emissivity ceramic material. When applied to the afterburner of a ceramics manufacturing operation, the coating reduced fuel consumption by 23% due tot he performance gains brought about by the use of the Emisshield coating.
ANH Refractories manufactures a complete line of refractories for use in copper production. These include a range of brick and castable formulations that can withstand high temperatures and the adverse effects of slag. Provided herein is a refractory selection guide for copper producers.
Secondary aluminium smelting differs from primary smelting in that it uses recycled aluminium from scrap, rather than refining it from ore. This article provides a selection guide for refractories for secondary aluminium manufacturers.
ANH Refractories Europe offer a full range of refractory materials for use in the cement industry. Thye article outlines the various refactries recommended for the numerous applications in the cement industry.
ANH Refractories manufactures a range of heat containment refractory products to meet the diverse needs of chemical process plants such as sulphur recovery units. This article provides a refractory selection guide for the verious sections of a sulphur recover unit.
The function of a Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) is to crack feedstock such as crude residues and gas oil and produce distillates. The process generally requires heat to complete the reaction. This in turn requires a boiler. Refractories used in coal fired boilers are outlined.
To ensure long service life and high overall operational efficiency of coal fired boilers, it is necessary to select appropriate refractory. ANH Refractories offers a range of solutions and a refractory selection guide is provided herein.
In underground mining operations, the ore material is transported in skip cars. These skip cars have a wear plate inside them, which comes in contact with the ore material. As a result of continuous loading and unloading, the wear plates undergo abrasion when ore is dropped or slid on them.
