Abstract:
High temperature thermal insulation materials that are lightweight, durable, and low cost have important applpications in heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) designed for high efficiency modern power plants that produce power at combined efficiency (PACE). . .State-of-the-art samples tested in the duct manways of the Public Service Company in Lawton, Oklahoma survived conditions of blast, heat, and transient temperatures.

It was the object of the present study to investigate and characterize the microstructure and the phase assemblage of high alumina refractory concretes as a function of temperature. The investigations were done using XRD and SEM methods including X-Ray microanalyses.

Refractory concrete, unlike Portland cement concrete, is not commonly used as a structural member, although in some applications it may contribute to overall structural integrity. More often refractory concretes are used to protect structural members (commonly steel) and are considered to be lining or barrier materials. The use of thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, strength, and reheat shrinkage data is discussed relative to their use in designing with refractory concrete.

Refineries and petrochemical plants have a variety of locations where process temperatures of 1000F to 3000F must be contained. . .A review is given of the various process units in typical refining and chemical process plants that use refractory materias. Criteria for refractory selection, design considerations, and installation techniques are detailed and suggestions on dry-out procedures are given.
