Refrax® PRO, PLUS, and TOP tiles

Refractory Tiles

The Refrax® family of nitride and oxynitride bonded silicon carbide materials utilize carefully selected raw materials with specific attention paid to grain size distribution. This attention to detail ensures these materials are long-lasting and cost-effective in the challenging operating conditions associated with waste to energy applications.

Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories is recognized worldwide as the provider of choice for OEMs looking for robust products with long service lives.

T-Clip PRO tile system in Refrax® TOP

Ich kann den Saint-Gobain T-Clip noch einmal bestätigen® PRO-Fliesensystem in Refrax® TOP ist äußerst wirksam beim Schutz der Brennkammerrohrwände in unserem EfW in Portsmouth, Hampshire.

Die erste Teilinstallation erfolgte vor mehr als sechs Jahren im Jahr 2016 und wir hatten keine Probleme mit dem Produkt. Alle nachfolgenden Systeminstallationen zum vollständigen Schutz der Brennkammerrohre haben sich als sehr stabil erwiesen, was sich bei dem jüngsten großen Ausfall am 23. März 24 zeigte. Die Auskleidungen der Kessel sind insgesamt in ausgezeichnetem Zustand und haben dazu beigetragen, dass wir, wie bereits erwähnt, länger brennen und längere Zeiträume zwischen den Ausfällen liegen. 

Die T-Clip®PRO-System in Refrax® TOP hat sich für uns als sehr effektiv erwiesen, da es die Rohrwand schützt und die regelmäßigen, großflächigen Reparaturen überflüssig macht, die früher bei der Installation anderer Produkte erforderlich waren. Ich kann T-Clip wärmstens empfehlen® PRO-System in Refrax® TOP  und wir freuen uns, Saint-Gobain als unseren Materiallieferpartner zu haben.
