Snorkel Legs
This refractory lining is exposed to repeated thermal cycling and prolonged exposure to high temperatures, often up to 30 minutes. A fibre-reinforced refractory lasts considerably longer to give significant economies in production and maintenance costs.

Recommendation: ME 446

Sprayed re-lining to Snorkel Legs
This interim repair prolongs the overall campaign life of the degasser vessel. By adding fibres further cracking and spalling of the sprayed relining is inhibited and the vessel's campaign life improved still further.

Recommendation: ME 446

Soffit Protective Lining
Radiant heat and splashing molten steel often combine to crack and spall this refractory lining. If not stopped, this leads to expensive repairs to vessel steelwork. Fibre addition will hold cracked refractory intact, reducing the risk of these costly repairs.
