Reliable Refractory Materials for High-Performance Energy Recovery

Waste-to-energy systems operate under constant thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress, requiring materials that can endure extreme conditions. To meet these challenges, we develop silicon carbide (SiC) solutions tailored for high-performance in demanding environments. Our portfolio of bricks, tiles, refractory blocks, and tube wall protection systems delivers a balance of thermal conductivity and structural strength to support combustion stability, improve energy recovery, and safeguard critical infrastructure.

Each solution is precisely designed to fit both new installations and retrofit projects. Supported by expert technical guidance, our SiC technologies help reduce maintenance needs, extend service life, and maintain high performance even in the most demanding operating environments.

Mortar SiC Tube Wall Systems

45° system

This simple and economical option is ideal for any installation system. It is suitable for vertical boiler tube walls including side walls, back walls and front walls, as well as slanted ceiling tubes including inlet ceilings, burn out ceilings and boiler ceilings
Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ traditional mortared tile system is suitable for a wide range of applications including tiles for vertical boiler tube walls. This rapid, straightforward mortar system can be applied in the traditional way.

The mortar tile system offers a number of benefits including:

  • Good thermal conductivity and cooling effect due to tile thickness
  • Single fixing on tiles
  • Tapered edge allows for simple and quick individual tile replacement
  • High durability
  • Available in all Refrax® family material types
Equipment Product Characteristics Application Benefits
Tiles 45° Tile System Good thermal conductivity of the tile with simple angled top & bottom Vertical tube walls Simple & quick repairs, even single tiles are possible
Bricks Belly Bricks Protect boiler tubes with no membrane Available for a variety of tube diameters & spacing Maximized thermal conductivity & easy installation. Installation without the need for traditional anchor type fixing

FAQ
