Saint-Gobain refractories offer exceptional chemical, wear and thermal shock resistance, which contribute to longer equipment lifetimes. Exceptional engineering and production capabilities enable flexible design for even the most challenging refractory shapes for many reactor types. ( Secondary Reforming)
Sulfate fertilizers are processed in Mannheim furnaces. The salt feeder is lined with mullite bricks (Mullfrax® 202 HF bricks), while the combustion chamber is lined with Carbofrax® M silicate bonded SiC tiles in the muffle dome to provide good heat transfer onto the salt mix underneath.
Carbofrax® domes act as muffles with excellent thermal conductivity and high-temperature chemical resistance, enabling long operational runs.
Refrax® 20 nitride bonded SiC bricks are best suited for the reaction tank. Cast Refrax® cast nitride bonded SiC offers outstanding chemical resistance to the spout blocks and rabble blades.
