REFRACTORY SOLUTIONS FOR PAPER & PULP MANUFACTURING
Paper and pulp manufacturing involves high-temperature energy generation, chemical recovery, and continuous processing systems. Units such as recovery boilers and lime kilns operate under chemically aggressive conditions with sustained thermal loads, making refractory reliability essential to mill uptime and safety.
Refractories play a vital role in protecting critical equipment, supporting chemical recovery processes, and maintaining stable mill operations.
ROLE OF REFRACTORIES IN PAPER & PULP MILLS
In paper and pulp operations, refractories are essential for:
Withstanding high temperatures in recovery and power boilers
Resisting chemical attack from alkalis, smelt, and corrosive gases
Protecting pressure parts and steel structures
Supporting continuous operation with minimal shutdowns
Maintaining thermal efficiency and process stability
Correct refractory selection directly impacts boiler availability, chemical recovery efficiency, safety, and maintenance costs.
KEY APPLICATION AREAS
Our refractory products are supplied for use across the following paper and pulp mill units:
RECOVERY BOILERS
Recovery boilers operate under extreme chemical and thermal stress. Refractories must resist smelt corrosion, chemical attack, and thermal cycling.
POWER BOILERS
Power boilers supply energy to mill operations and are exposed to ash and high temperatures, requiring durable and abrasion-resistant refractory linings.
LIME KILNS
Lime kilns operate continuously at elevated temperatures with chemical exposure. Refractories must provide thermal stability and resistance to alkali attack.
CHEMICAL RECOVERY FURNACES
These units process spent chemicals under aggressive conditions, demanding refractories with high chemical resistance and structural integrity.
INCINERATORS
Incinerators handle waste streams and off-gases, requiring refractories that withstand corrosive environments and high operating temperatures.
FLUE GAS DUCTS & STACKS
These areas require refractories that provide insulation, resist corrosive condensates, and ensure long service life.
rEFRACTORY PRODUCTS COMMONLY USED
Depending on mill configuration and operating conditions, paper and pulp plants typically use:
Shaped refractories for structural and high-load zones
Monolithic refractories such as castables and mortars for complex geometries
Insulating materials to improve energy efficiency and reduce heat loss
Material selection is guided by chemical exposure, temperature range, abrasion severity, and maintenance strategy.
