Customer Recognition for End-to-End Refractory Support at a Waste-to-Energy Plant in the UAE

In May 2025, Calderys received a Certificate of Excellence from a Waste-to-Energy Plant in the UAE, recognizing our team's vital role in supporting a safe, efficient, and high-quality refractory shutdown.
This recognition highlights Calderys' commitment to long-term partnerships and our ability to deliver end-to-end support, from greenfield engineering to shutdown supervision and Quality assurance & Quality control (QAQC) services.

From project start-up to ongoing maintenance

This Waste-to-Energy Plant is a flagship facility in the UAE, originally built with Calderys’ engineering support during the greenfield phase. Our contribution began with the initial design and refractory engineering and continues today with ongoing technical assistance, tailored material supply, and supervision during planned maintenance.

In this year’s critical 14-day maintenance shutdown, Calderys once again played a key role. Through the detailed inspection, Calderys’ experts identified several major spalling, heavy erosion, and damages in the refractory linings that if not immediately repaired would critically reduce incinerator efficiency. From there, the team proposed critical solutions such as dismantling the current lining to replace with new one, inserting ceramic blankets, and replacing thousands of tiles... After getting agreement from the customer, Calderys’ team worked alongside an installation contractor to ensure that all refractory activities proposed were executed with the highest safety and quality standards.

Calderys’ scope of work

Throughout the shutdown, 30+ personnel per day were mobilized for refractory-related activities, completed in just 8 days. Calderys contributed in the following ways:

  • Technical supervision and QAQC inspection

  • Support during casting and SiC tile installation

  • On-time delivery of a complete refractory materials package

Refractory solutions supplied

Calderys provided a full mix of high-performance monolithics, gunning materials, trowellables, mastics, and accessories, tailored to the incinerator’s demanding operational environment with high abrasion due to waste impacts. 

Results that earned recognition

  • Flawless material delivery and documentation under tight deadline

  • Safe execution and high-quality supervision

  • Positive inspection outcomes with full customer satisfaction

  • Official appreciation from the end user recognizing the professionalism and impact of Calderys’ support
