POWER AND INCINERATION INDUSTRY
Power
Refractory technology for this industry has changed with the evolution of new demands for power and economic and environmental concerns. A wide variety of materials are available for use in industrial boilers, package boilers, cyclone boilers, waste-to-energy units, CFB''s, ash hoppers and others.

Ash Hopper Refractories
| Ash-Hopper Service
Ash hopper service includes a number of conditions, which can be detrimental to a refractory lining. Refractories used in this service must show good resistance to a variety of destructive conditions.
- Airborne particulate generated during combustion can cause severely abrasive conditions.
- Slag can fall into the hopper in large chunks called "clinker". The impact of this clinker upon the refractory can be quite severe.
- In the case of wet-bottom ash hoppers, the splash generated by falling clinker can introduce severe thermal shock.
- Products installed in ash hoppers can be cast, gunned or sprayed.

Incineration
Incineration of corrosive waste has become an increasingly acceptable method of disposal for these materials. Commercially and privately operated incinerators will be a part of the foreseeable future. Conditions relative to refractory longevity vary throughout these units. Careful selection of refractory materials is required to achieve long running campaigns and maximise cost effectivness. Thermal profiles, waste streams, generated slag and operating practices are individual for each incinerator in operation. Therefore refractory practice is an individual matter.
Incinerators are used to destroy -
- Liquids / Sludge / Solids / Gases
Incinerator Conditions -
- Temperature - 900 to 1450°C
- Abrasion - solids, metals, gas streams
- Chemical - sulphur, chlorine, organics
- Slags - ashes, metals, phosphates, chemical
- Gases - organics, chemicals
- Mechanical - metal drums, slags
Areas of Incineration / Types of waste -
- Medical - hospitals, pharmaceuticals
- Industrial - tyres, inks, packaging
- Cremation - local authorities, veterinary
- Sewerage - water companies
- Municipal - town refuse
- Agriculture - animals, soils
- Government - money, military, drugs, documents
- Chemical - dangerous toxic wastes, petrochemicals
- Power Gen - heat recovery systems
- Marine - shipboard wastes
Types of Incinerators -
- Municipal - moving/rotary grate, CHP
- Fluid bed - circulating, bubbling
- Rotary - chemicals, solids, liquids
- Multi Hearth - sewerage
- Modular - medical, solids
- Cremators
- Waste Boiler - paper, oils, sugar cane
- Waste Gas - flare stacks
- Thermal Oxidisers
- Coal/Oil Gasifiers
- Spent Caustic Incinerators
