Fabrication – Biomass
Pre-Assembled Linings for Biomass Combustion and Recovery Units
We fabricate custom refractory assemblies for combustors, boiler doors, burner surrounds, and transition zones—engineered to reduce installation time and withstand thermal and mechanical abuse.
- Burner blocks and spout linings
- Boiler door assemblies and expansion joints
- Fluidized bed outlet assemblies
- Stack transition linings
Benefits:
- Withstands slag attack and ash erosion
- Reduces field labor during outages
- Ensures consistent fit and thermal integrity
Emisshield – Biomass
Improve Thermal Transfer and Reduce Fuel Load
Emisshield high-emissivity coatings enhance radiant heat flow in biomass combustion systems, resulting in lower fuel consumption, faster warm-up, and improved temperature uniformity.
- Furnace and combustion walls
- Radiant zones and air preheaters
- Gasifier interiors and oxidizers
Performance Gains:
- Reduced fuel input with improved heat distribution
- Enhanced burnout and emissions control
- Longer refractory service intervals
Precast – Biomass
Pre-Fired Shapes for Combustion Chambers and Recovery Zones
We produce precast shapes that resist the mechanical abrasion and slag buildup common in biomass-fired systems—ideal for burner tiles, boiler doors, and roof panels.
- Burner blocks and floor segments
- Door frames and sill blocks
- Transition pieces and duct inserts
- Stack and roof tiles
Why Precast Works:
- Built for repeatability and durability
- Withstands thermal shock and corrosive ash
- Shortens install time and improves seal integrity
Thermography – Biomass
Infrared Diagnostics for Boilers and Combustion Zones
Our thermal imaging services detect refractory wear, insulation loss, and heat leakage, helping biomass facilities reduce energy loss, optimize burn profiles, and prevent shutdowns.
- Boiler walls and roof lines
- Burner zones and stack transitions
- Expansion joints and flue ducts
Advantages:
- Visual confirmation of lining condition
- Enables proactive repairs before failure
- Improves combustion efficiency and safety
