This work presents a numerical modeling procedure to simulate the refractory concrete lining in fluid catalytic cracking units of oil refineries. The model includes the simulation of the anchors that reinforce the contact between the refractory concrete and the steel casing. For this purpose, the constitutive relations of an interface finite element are set to values that represent the homogenized behavior of the anchored interface. The parameters of this constitutive relation can be obtained by experimental tests. The model includes also multi-surface plasticity, in order to represent the behavior of the refractory concrete lining. Since the complexity of real case applications leads to high computational costs, the models presented here were implemented in a high-performance parallelized finite element platform. A case study representing a riser similar to the ones used by the refinery industry demonstrates the potential of the model.

Monolithic refractory technology has been developed for RH vessels, with the purpose of reducing the total refractory cost. The technology includes the use of an improved monolithic refractory and microwave drying. The improved monolithic refractory was an alumina-spinel composition, of the type used in steel ladles, to which fine alumina was added to increase the density and corrosion resistance. The microwave drying method, previously developed and used to dry the monolithic lining in steel ladles, was modified for use in drying the dense, 500mm thick lining in RH vessels. This work has resulted in significant cost savings.

We use investment to retain the mould of the wax pattern in making dental metal castings. A fin on the metal casting is occasionally formed due to several factors. The factors making the fin are improper burn out time and temperature, improper W/P ratio of investment and lining of asbestos in casting ring. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of W/P ratio of investment on the fin formation. Except the W/P ratio of investment which used to invest the wax pattern, the study was done under same condition; burn out time and temperature, W/P ratio of refractory cast(W/P=0.12) and asbestos lining in casting ring. The obtained result is that the fin is more likely to be formed on the casting which invested with higher W/P ratio of investment to that of refractory cast.

The refractory-lined pipe is used to protect the system from high-temperature of the internal flow. The property of the refractory has an effect upon the stress analysis for fluid catalytic cracking(FCC) unit piping design. The equivalent elastic modulus and density considering steel and refractory must be applied in the stress analysis of the system. In the research, the theoretical method to obtain the value of the equivalent property is introduced and then the parametric analysis is carried out to understand the characteristic of the material properties, and the stress analysis is performed with reactor, the part of FCC unit.

The steel pipe for fluid catalytic cracking(FCC) unit. petroleum refinery, is lined with refractory to protect the system from high-temperature of the internal flow. The property of the refractory has an effect upon the stress analysis of FCC unit. Because 1-D pipe element or 3-D shell element are usually used in commercial codes of stress analysis to evaluate the structural soundness, the equivalent elastic modulus considering steel and refractory should be applied. In the research, the theoretical method to obtain the value of the equivalent property is introduced and then the stress analysis is carried out with the part of FCC unit.

A study on the system automation for the nitrogen splash slag coating in Basic Oxygen Blowing Furnace (BOF) is described. The engineers are trying to do their best efforts to increase the life of converter lining by developing improved refractory material and optimal operation techniques in the steel plants, A new slag coating method is needed to reduce the erosion rates of the refractory. In the current slag costing method, the BOF was swung back and forth. The new method uses the oxygen lance to blow the residual slag to the walls and cone of the converter. The nitrogen gas is used for blowing. This method is developed based on the automation process at factory in POSCO dated on the May 1998. The test results of nitrogen splash slag coating system for the BOF at POSCO are show to show the effectiveness of the system.
