Refractory Dryout Schedules

Current refractory dryout procedures are NOT scientifically based – and in most cases are excessively long and very expensive.

Our P-Drying® software creates refractory dryout schedules that are:

  1. Tailor made for your vessel or pre-cast shape
  2. Uses process gas. No expensive equipment needed.
  3. The correct procedure during weld stress relief
  4. Reduces risk of refractory failure

We have helped our customers reduce their dryout times by 50%. This can translate into days saved in lost production.


Customers Include:
  • BP
  • Cement Australia
  • Dyno Nobel
  • Incitec Pivot
  • Methanex
  • Ballance


How it works
