The installation of refractory linings have evolved dramatically over the past 60 years which has resulted in multiple installation options that are available for any given application.
The choice of the correct installation method has to be balanced with the design refractory system and material selection along with the anticipated life of the refractory lining.
There is a tradeoff between the cost of the refractory lining versus the lost production time and revenues due to down time or emergency repairs of a damaged refractory lining.
