An Engineered Approach to Drying Refractory Concrete for the Ammonia and Petrochemical Industries

摘要

The drying or rapid heating of refractory and ceramics used in the ammonia and methanol industry can be problematic for industry. Despite many advances, the industry still has little choice but to follow supplier "rules of thumb" or "trial and error" when drying or heating refractory. Using advanced engineering simulation techniques and testing installed refractory samples means drying schedules can be optimized and the most economical and safest schedule can be achieved.
