Innovation in Refractory Solutions Issues for refractory producers: • Solving the problem • Improving processes • Understanding of the application • Identification of constraints Essential dialog aboutexperience; successes and failures
Material properties • Rawmaterials • Effectiveproduction Essentialinteraction: • Good workablity • Health and Safety • Flexibility • Low costs • Effectiveproduction • Short shutdown • Low costs
Example of product development based on enquiries from customers HASLE PU55A; A low-cement, pumpablecastable, with excellent abrasion-, alkali- and slag-resistance Request; Easy transport of castable from mixer to mouldwithout reducing the quality and performance of the castable Solution; An easymixablelow cement castablethatcanbepumpedvertically and horisontallythroughhose or pipeswithoutsegregating
Open innovation: • Research institutes/ Universities • Raw- materialsuppliers
Post mortem analyses Close collaboration with Aachen University, Institute of Mineral Engineering, Department of Ceramics and refractory Materials Understanding the mineral and structuralchangesthatoccursduring the lifetime of a refractorylining, enables us to target and enhance the followingproductoptimization
Future R&D at HASLE New castables: • Pumpablecastables and shotcreting • High qualitylow cement gunningcastables Constantlyimprovingourrefractory solutions to withstand the challengescaused by: • A growing diversity of alternative fuels • Higher operation temperatures • Increasedproductionefficiencyand demand for reducedenergycosts • Shortershut-down periods
Summary • HASLE has itsownlaboratory to carry out qualitycontrol, analyses and productdevelopment • HASLEstechnicaldepartmentcanhelpyou on design and construction • HASLE continuosly analyse and improveexisting solutions • Constructive dialog betweenrefractory producer and users is essential for successful innovation • HASLE has developed a pumpablecastablerequested by customers • Knowledge comes from a wide range of sources • Analysingdegradatedmaterial enables us to targetoptimization • In the future HASLE willfocusevenstronger on solving the refractorychallengescaused by alternative fuels PLEASE JOIN THE DIALOGUE IN OUR FUTURE R&D
