Carbon Black Reactor Solutions

The performance of a carbon black reactor is related to its refractory lining. High temperature reactors, designed to operate at temperatures >2,000°C, subject lining materials to extreme thermal, mechanical, and chemical stress as they convert feedstocks into high-quality carbon black.  Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories have developed advanced lining solutions that combine high-performance alumina, zirconia and fused-cast materials along with dense and insulating castables to form robust linings that protect every zone of the carbon black reactor from erosion, corrosion, and heat loss. By aligning material composition and design with reactor temperature profiles and process conditions, these refractory systems promote stable operation, optimize thermal efficiency, and extend furnace campaigns.
