- A Silver Lining for Regenerative Thermal Oxidisers?
Regenerative Thermal Oxidisers (RTOs) are often treated as a mandatory piece of the operation puzzle. However, with the right lining, they can add crucial advantages to the manufacturing process, explains Alex Powell, Applications Engineer and Tyler Ferguson, Product Manager at the Thermal Ceramics business of Morgan Advanced Materials.
Air pollution is a hot topic globally and shows no signs of abating. According to EURACTIV, some 40 million people in the 115 largest cities of the EU are exposed to pollution exceeding World Health Organisation air quality guideline values (for at least one pollutant), the result is approximately 100,000 premature adult deaths each year.

- Fuel for thought – Replacing high temperature grade refractory ceramic fibre (RCF) linings in the petrochemical industry
When it comes to lining fired heaters in the petrochemical industry, RCF has been the go-to material, but it has its drawbacks. Steve Chernack, Global Engineering Manager at Morgan Advanced Materials’ Thermal Ceramics business, looks at how these can be mitigated, and a new option for petrochemical operators.

- Morgan Advanced Materials delivers rapid fire insulation for Statoil Mariner offshore platform
The rapid four-week installation of an ultra-lightweight fire insulation blanket from Morgan Advanced Materials is providing extensive thermal protection for three separator vessels on the Statoil Mariner offshore platform.
Morgan’s FireMaster® vessel fire protection system is being used to maintain structural integrity of the separators against jet and hydrocarbon pool fires. Fire protection is crucial because these separators contain hydrocarbon inventory, which can become additional fuel to a fire in the event of structural failure. Thermal weakening and failure occur when the walls of the separator are heated by the exposing fire case. With increased temperature of the steel vessel shell, the applied stress on it increases, causing rupture. Morgan’s FireMaster® protection ensures that the steel shell temperature does not reach breaking point as temperatures surge.
The design fire scenario stated that the separators should be able to withstand fire loads of five minutes of jet fire at 350w/m2, followed by five minutes of jet fire at 250kw/m2, and an additional 50 minutes of hydrocarbon pool fire. Morgan’s FireMaster® solution was considered the most effective and easy-to-install option for the project, which had to be completed within the space of just one month.

- How to Ensure Effective Furnace Lining Efficiency
Refractory engineers remain under constant pressure to increase the performance of furnaces, incinerators and reactors to maximise energy efficiency. Although there are many materials which can enhance the efficiency of furnaces, many still lose heat when in operation through flue gas, excess moisture in fuel, or continued opening of the furnace door. This is preventing many engineers from realising maximum energy efficiencies, causing businesses to focus their attention on reliable insulation and lining of furnaces from the floor to the stack, to contain as much heat as possible during operation. Companies such as Morgan Advanced Materials are responding to this challenge with a variety of lightweight, energy saving solutions with unique refractory designs which significantly minimise heat loss in these units. In this article, Steve Chernack from Morgan’s Thermal Ceramics business, outlines five top tips for achieving the best furnace lining efficiency.

- Efficiency, Performance, Longevity and Design Flexibility: Why Cooking Appliance Manufacturers are Moving in Favour of AES Fibre Thermal Insulation
Thermal insulation has long been a key element in the manufacture of cooking appliances, to deliver energy efficiency and safety to both commercial and domestic customers.
Fibreglass is the conventional material choice for thermal insulation in appliances such as ovens, range cookers and dual fuel cooking tops, but a shift change in favour of higher performance alternatives is now shaking up what has been, until recently, a relatively steady marketplace.
Richard Ellenberger, Engineering Services Manager at Morgan Advanced Materials, explores why high temperature Alkaline Earth Silicate (AES) fibres have become an integral specification choice for manufacturers looking to benefit from better performance, increased design flexibility and improved safety.
