Pitfalls with steel anchorage within your refractory lining

摘要

I started my career as a chemical engineer within SASOL. The career change to refractories happened as a result of my association with a former colleague, Louise Boshoff, who always said there is never a dull moment working with refractories. Starting at minute by minute quality control sixteen years ago, my career path soon expanded very fast covering inspections, failure analysis, installation improvements, lining design, maintenance strategies which resulted into a move from South Africa to the UK six years ago.
