The Value we Add
Understanding process conditions is critical to determine suitability or remaining life of refractory linings. No two plants are alike when it comes to refractory performance and refractory linings must be understood accordingly and tailored to the specific conditions of each plant to maximise refractory performance and establish predictable maintenance cycles. With our large exposure to the industry, understanding refractory-process interactions is something we can modestly say we have learned to do very well. The design space for effective linings is determined by intersection of process engineering and refractory materials science, and palmer technologies are one of few with expertise in both.

Palmer Technologies www.palmertechgroup.com was selected to redesign the cyclone roof using a detailed engineering approach to refractory structures.
After winning the company’s Excellence Award, the Railton Shutdown Manager said, “It is the best performance since the construction of the cyclone in 1980” and “our expectations are to get 3-5 year life out of the TAC roof refractory”.
Palmer Technologies has been pivotal in assisting the plant at a professional level and providing the technical advice to solve complex refractory problems allowing the plant to improve refractory reliability.
