Refractories play a crucial role in the cement industry. Rotary kilns, high volume static equipment, burner pipes and many more systems that are exposed to high temperatures, corrosive, or harsh environments use refractory systems to shield them. Each stage of the cement-making process places unique demands on the refractory lining. Refractory selection is influenced by the kiln design, fuel burned, raw meal and operating characteristics. Refractories play a crucial role in maintaining a productive, safe, and efficiently operating system. Some areas in the Cement industry where refractory is commonly used are:
- Rotary Kilns
- Kiln Hoods
- Burner Pipes
- Preheaters (Cyclones, Ducting, Caclciners)
- Meal Pipes
- Coolers
- Tertiary Air Ducts
Refractories play a significant role in the petrochemical and chemical industry. These industries demand high quality and solutions to improve performance.

Alliance Refractories has been providing refractory solutions to the pulp and paper industry for a long time, and their expertise and quality is evident. The pulping process utilizes a series of recovery processes which includes two major systems the Chemical Recovery Boiler and the Recovery Kiln. With our knowledge and expertise in refractory not only can Alliance help in the refractory selection, but they are also able to recommend and design specialized refractory lining systems.
Alliance is heavily involved in the fertilizer industry. From the initial process where the primary reformer creates hydrogen from a natural gas feedstock at temperatures over 1800°F, Alliance Refractories works with the client to design and install the best refractory system for the situation. When temperatures reach 2800°F in the Secondary Reformer, clients can be confident that Alliance has installed a long lasting refractory system that will keep the unit safe and operational. Units in the fertilizer industry that utilize refractory systems are:
- Primary Reformers
- Secondary Reformers
- Hydrogen Transfer Lines
- Waste Heat Boilers
In the chemical processing industry when selecting refractory careful consideration must be giving to the hostility of the environment. The refractory selected for the job must not only withstand the temperatures but the environment. Reliability and safety are key elements in the Chemical processing industry, whether it be with brick, monolithics or ceramic fiber, the design should be suitable for the operating conditions as well as the equipment and construction circumstances. With these considerations in mind Alliance’s industry experts time and time again deliver high quality solutions.
