Refractory Advantage Consultancy offers discussions with an experienced refractory consultant for multiple applications including use in iron, steel, non-ferrous foundry, vac-melt superalloy, secondary aluminum and industrial thermal processes.
Refractory assistance for consumers, acting on behalf of the client for any refractory related problems, advancements, efficiencies and process adaptations.
Analysis of thermal erosion/chemical corrosion/physical impact wear pattern evidence to assess the effectiveness of the refractory linings products in the operational environment.
Construction of procedural operational analysis providing accurate and repeatable practice enabling standard operating practice (SOP) production. Authoring of safety data sheets (SDS) and technical information.
Guidance on refractory materials available best suited to the application based on performance and commercial considerations, including high melting point materials.
Attendance on-site for monitoring and advising of projects, including shut down maintenance, new equipment commissioning, practice changes, etc.
Root-cause analysis and suggested remedial process change to address ongoing refractory problems, premature wear or unexpected refractory failure.
Review shut down maintenance plans aimed at providing suitable time sensitive options for refractory/insulation materials selection, placement and heat-up, returning melt capability back to production in the minimum amount of down time.
We bring specialized expertise to the most demanding, dynamic thermal environments in North America and wider industrial markets.
Refractory Advantage Consultancy is dedicated to helping industrial operations get more from their high-temperature process equipment. We provide guidance with an objective of providing all suitable options with the potential cost effective benefits associated.
Bringing more than 40 years of refractory industry experience (including materials R&D, quality control, production management, customer technical support, sales, raw material sourcing and evaluation, and failure analysis) to provide practical solutions to customer process challenges.
The aim of our consultation is to provide the client with sufficient information and understanding to make a fully informed decision for their refractory requirements.
