Waste-to-Energy Refractory Solution with T-Clip® PRO, Increased Efficiency and Durability
Overview
Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facilities convert household waste into clean energy.
They needed a resilient refractory solution to withstand the severe conditions within their combustion chambers to reduce damage & eliminate costly downtime.
Challenge
Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ T-Clip® PRO tile system was successfully implemented at this facility within the combustion chamber and first pass.
With its durable, high-performance design, T-Clip® PRO has proven highly effective at withstanding the aggressive conditions.
After initial installation tiles have remained intact, showing exceptional durability and performance long after their old system would have failed.
Our client continues to steadily increase T-Clip® PRO system in their boiler reducing costly breakdowns & reducing the need for costly outages.
Our system has also now incorporated the curved nose tiles shown in the image, further enhancing the long life capability for the client.
