A boiler burns fuel to produce steam or electricity for the process.The combustion byproducts can be dry or slaggy, and air byproducts like fly ash can also be produced.The fuel source has great influence on the operation and design of boiler.Special refractory applications such as ash buckets, cyclone separators, boiler floors, etc. require targeted solutions to protect equipment and ensure reliable operation.
The selection of boiler refractories relies heavily on fuel sources, most commonly coal and natural gas.However, even in these two categories, the application will vary greatly depending on the boiler's design, operating conditions and specific sources of fuel.General problems include alkali/chemical attacks, impingement, wear, thermal shock and environments for reducing/oxidizing mixtures.
Lite has a long history of providing solutions for power boilers.There are refractory solutions available for any part of your equipment.
