Advanced simulation in the refractory industry offers substantial benefits by improving material performance, enhancing process efficiency and ensuring the longevity of high-temperature systems. Through simulation, our engineers can model the behaviour of refractory materials under extreme conditions including high temperature, chemical exposure and mechanical stress, allowing for the optimisation of material composition and structural design. This leads to the creation of more durable and efficient refractory linings for furnaces, kilns and ladles, minimising downtime and maintenance costs. Additionally, simulation enables better thermal management and energy efficiency by ensuring even heat distribution and minimising heat loss. Overall, our engineering design and simulation approach contributes to more reliable, cost effective and sustainable refractory solutions.

We apply advanced analysis to evaluate the performance of refractory systems across a wide range of industry applications considering:
