Case Studies

T-Clip® Pro ceramic tiles to renovate an incinerator surface of 120 m²

Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facilities convert household waste into clean energy.

Challenge : In the first five years, recurring maintenance work with intensive tile replacement was required in the lower half of the first pass due to continuous material oxidation during waste incineration.

Supervised by Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories international team comprising professionals from Germany, France and India, the refractory installation was completed diligently over two consecutive 10-day periods.

Challenge: cements can be made with high-quality, pure raw materials that are engineered to achieve maximum performance

Challenge: The questions around boiler ash hoppers and how Saint-Gobain monolithic materials represent the ideal long-term waste to energy solution to costly breakdown, maintenance and repair issues.

Challenge: The castables has to be resistant to erosion and impact due to metal pouring into the ladle. It needs as well to reduce the ladle patching and repair.

T-Clip® PRO tile system in Refrax® Plus Material used to protect the wall tubes inside the Waste to Energy boilers.

Challenge: Aggressive oxidation leads to high porosity & low resistance. Root cause analysis of higher frequent repairs & lower yield.

Challenge: The old system with potential for the heavy ash / slag build-up in upper levels falling could endangering personnel when they entered the boiler.
