High-Temperature Heating for Oil Refineries

Depending on the operation and project scope, refineries may use an assortment of heating equipment:

• Boilers: Boilers are one of the most fundamental systems in many oil refineries. The steam that boilers create can power turbines and help achieve the appropriate temperatures during the production phase.
• Kilns: Cement kilns are thermally insulated chambers that produce sufficient temperatures for completing processes such as drying, hardening or facilitating chemical reactions.
• Incinerators: Industrial incinerators provide high-temperature burning of some of the waste produced during the oil refining process.
• Furnaces: A furnace provides the heat that’s essential for conducting various oil refining procedures.

McNeil can provide the right refractories for each of these equipment types.

Refractories for the Oil Refinery Industry

Examples of our refractories for oil refining include:

Castables

Castables are nonmetallic materials that offer excellent abrasion, heat and thermal shock resistance. Their low heat conductivity provides essential stability when creating heating equipment linings. Castables are monolithic refractories, meaning they consist of a single block of material.

Guniting

Guniting is often the most effective solution for repairing concrete linings in boilers and other materials. Gunite is a dry-mixed form of concrete that service technicians can easily spray into the damaged area.

Ramming

This process involves using a pneumatic hammer to ram a specially formulated plastic refractory material into place. Ramming mixes are ideal for emergency repairs, as the tech can pound them into any shape and make them fit contours.

Fire Brick

Fire brick refractories consist of nonmetallic materials that provide reliable heat containment in furnaces and kilns. Bricks offer numerous material options, each providing unique properties and characteristics.
