The incinerator industry is responsible for the high-temperature combustion of waste materials, including pathological, municipal, and hazardous waste.
Incineration reduces the volume of waste significantly while destroying harmful substances, making it an essential process for waste management. These incinerators operate at temperatures between 850°C and 1,200°C. To achieve this, incinerators rely on furnace designs with precise temperature control and efficient refractory linings to protect against extreme heat and chemical corrosion.
The refractories used in incinerator furnaces must withstand both the high temperatures of combustion and the corrosive byproducts generated by waste materials. Dense firebrick and high alumina bricks are often used in the primary combustion zones, providing the necessary thermal resistance and durability. Monolithic refractories are frequently used for repairs and in areas where seamless linings are critical.
Additionally, incinerators that process hazardous or chemical-laden waste may require specialty refractories with enhanced chemical resistance to protect furnace linings from aggressive slags and ash.
Larkin Refractory Solutions is actively involved in supporting the incinerator industry by providing specialized incinerator supplies. With a wide selection of dense firebrick, high alumina bricks, and monolithic refractories, Larkin ensures that incinerator operators have access to high-quality, durable materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of waste incineration. Larkin also offers technical expertise and timely service, helping incinerator operators maintain furnace integrity, reduce downtime, and meet regulatory standards.
