WHAT IS REFRACTORY MANAGEMENT

Refractory materials are essentially heat-resistant materials, such as refractory bricks, castables, ramming, or gunning materials, which are designed to maintain their strength at high temperatures. These materials are often used in highly technical industries as the building blocks for large production facilities, such as smelters and incinerators.

 

Refractory management refers to the management of these production facilities and the processes governing them. Whilst many of these refractory facilities are designed to withstand intense heat, many specialized industries require resistance to other extreme conditions such as acidity, alkalinity, corrosion, abrasion, and erosion.
