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.

Custom Designed SiC Tube Wall: Tile or Brick

Custom Tile Designs Made from Superior Materials

Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories leverages its specialist manufacturing processes and global networks to offer custom designed and custom shaped tiles or bricks in several of its material grades.

These truly individual and tailored solutions are developed in partnership with customers according to their requirements. When commissioning a custom shape, customers will be consulted on the required design before tooling is developed and the shapes are manufactured.

Custom tile shapes can be matched with compatible mortars, back-castable and monolithic products, allowing Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories to supply a full package built for the customer’s specific operating conditions.

Custom designed tiles offer a number of advantages including:

  • Matching to current designs or process requirements
  • Engineered materials for varied conditions; for example, high corrosion resistance and enhanced mechanical durability
  • Available for a wide range of tube diameters and spacings
  • A bespoke solution, fully adaptable to customer requirements
