Refractory Materials Used in the Petrochemical Industry

Refractory Materials Used in the Petrochemical Industry

Refractory materials play a key role in the petrochemical industry due to their excellent thermal stability at high temperatures, outstanding resistance to chemical corrosion and abrasion, and low thermal conductivity. These materials are used in various petrochemical units to extend equipment lifespan and improve process efficiency. Below, some of the refractories produced by Dirgodaz Amol Industries for olefin, methanol, and urea/ammonia units, along with their reference projects, are introduced.
Olefin Unit
Refractory Products for Olefin Units
In olefin units, refractory products play a critical role in steam cracking chambers such as radiant and convection sections, and must withstand extremely high temperatures and corrosive conditions.
Methanol Unit
Refractory Products for Methanol Units
In methanol units, refractories are used in steam reformers and synthesis reactors such as secondary reformers, and must resist high pressure and temperatures, sometimes up to 1800°C.
Urea and Ammonia Unit
Refractory Products for Urea and Ammonia Units
In urea and ammonia units, refractories are used in primary and secondary reformers, gas transfer lines, etc., and must resist combustion at high temperatures and corrosion caused by acidic gases.
