Infratech - Infrared Refractory Inspection Services

Refractory breakdown is a direct result of overheating or uneven heating in one or more areas within a refractory lined vessel. Temperature patterns on the external surfaces of the vessel are a direct function of the heat conduction through the wall. Equipment with poor refractory condition must be fired harder to maintain the desired set-point temperature. This overheating promotes localized overheating which increases refractory breakdown exponentially.

• Excellent method to confirm the refractory / insulation condition throughout your facility
• Advance warning of pending problems
• Downtime reduction
• Decreases heat loss inefficiencies and improves overall equipment performance
• Pinpoint problem areas and evaluate the scope of repairs prior to planned shutdown
• Confirm the effectiveness of maintenance repairs after shutdown
• Report is an advanced repair estimation tool
