THE PROBLEM

• Frequent refractory failures in all CFBC boilers since commissioning.

• Repeated boiler stoppages affecting plant operations.

• Rising refractory costs and inventory due to unpredictable performance.

• Unstable operating conditions and maintenance challenges.

THE SOLUTION

• Detailed analysis of refractory failures and operating conditions.

• Redesigned refractory lining using Calderys' specialised materials.

• Improved anchoring system using CASS (Calderys Anchoring System).

• Replacement of conventional lining arrangements with customised castable and calcium silicate insulation solutions.

• Refractory relining of critical areas including cyclone inlets, bull noses, combustor openings and loop seals.

THE OUTCOME

• The first boiler operated for six months without a refractory-related stoppage.

• The customer subsequently extended the solution across all four boilers.

• Performance exceeded the guaranteed targets across all four boilers.

• Improved operational continuity, plant efficiency and refractory reliability.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• 4 CFBC boilers successfully addressed.

• 6 months of uninterrupted operation after the first installation.

• Customer recognition through a Letter of Appreciation for Safety & Execution.
