Refractory Installation and Maintenance for Furnaces and Kilns

Furnaces, kilns, boilers and incinerators across African cement, metals and processing industries depend on refractory linings that fail expensively when neglected or poorly installed. This programme covers the practical selection, installation and maintenance of refractory materials. Delegates learn to inspect linings, plan repairs, install castables and bricks correctly and manage the dry out and heat up that protect a new lining.
