I can confirm once again that the Saint-Gobain T-Clip® PRO tile system in Refrax® TOP is extremely effective in protecting the combustion chamber tubewalls at our EfW in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
The first part installation was more than six years ago in 2016 and we have experienced no issues with the product. All subsequent system installations to fully protect the combustion chamber tubing has proven to be very stable, this was evident during the recent March ’23 24 monthly major outage. Linings in the boilers overall are in excellent condition and have contributed to us burning longer with extended periods between outages as previously noted.
Using T-Clip®PRO system in Refrax® TOP has proven very effective for us, protecting the tube wall and eliminating the regular large-scale repairs that were previously necessary when we had installed other products. I can highly recommend T-Clip® PRO system in Refrax® TOP and we are pleased to have Saint-Gobain as our material supply partner.
