Calderys Meet 2025 in Saudi Arabia: Technical seminar on refractory solutions for hydrocarbon process industry
The seminar provided in-depth discussions on refractory applications for critical equipment, including:
-
Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU): combustion chambers, reaction furnace, and thermal oxidizers.
-
Burn pits
-
Ammonia – fertilizer equipment including primary & secondary reformers and transfer lines
-
Incinerators, gasifiers and reformer & cracker
Calderys and HWI experts identified common operational issues and shared how tailored refractory solutions—spanning engineering design, material selection, shutdown supervision, and predictive maintenance—can tackle these issues. Thanks to strong resistance to high temperature & chemical attack and mechanical strength, the right refractory material would improve equipment reliability, operational safety, and energy efficiency. The team also received positive feedback from the guests, showing their appreciation for this opportunity to expand their knowledge of refractory and discuss operation’s concerns.
With strong participation, the seminar highlighted Calderys’ commitment to bringing global expertise to local markets and partnering with hydrocarbon industry leaders for safer, more efficient, and more sustainable operations.
