Most refractory "solutions" are based on trial-and-error, rules-of-thumb or refractory mythology.  This is because few people understand the non-linear properties of the refractory, the thermo-chemical (corrosion) reactions of the refractory/anchor with the process environment and the thermo-mechanical interactions of the refractory and steel shell.  Most refractory failures are a result of a complex combination of multiple variables.

I offer my services to be point-of-contact for all refractory issues and spearhead any aspect of refractory related problems.
