Custom Ladle Cover Refractories for Iran Steel
With Iran’s growing emphasis on environmental protection and efficient resource utilization, coupled with industry challenges such as fluctuating international energy prices and tight molten iron supply, local steel enterprises are in urgent need of breaking development bottlenecks through technological upgrading: improving the proportion of scrap steel consumption and reducing reliance on molten iron while ensuring normal operations and stable employee income. As a professional provider of refractory material solutions, Highland Refractory customized ladle covering supporting refractories and technical schemes according to customer needs, helping a well-known Iranian steel enterprise complete the commissioning, installation and application of ladle covering facilities. Relying on the thermal insulation advantages of high-performance refractories and scientific process adaptation design, the project successfully reduced tapping temperature, significantly increased scrap steel charging capacity, and created considerable economic and production benefits for the customer. 01 Core Significance of Ladle Covering and Refractories for Steelmaking Production The ladle is a core link connecting converter finished products and continuous casting raw materials. During the entire process of hoisting and pouring, heat loss caused by thermal radiation is a major energy waste point for steel enterprises. For steel mills, every degree of molten steel temperature is directly related to...

Supply 30 tons of refractory clay bricks to a Polish customer’s cement kiln.
Fire Clay Brick Supply for Cement Kiln Preheater and Tertiary Air Duct In this project, Highland Refractory supplied 30 metric tons of fire clay bricks to a cement plant in Poland. The products were used in several critical areas of the cement kiln system, including the preheater tower, tertiary air duct, and kiln shell backup lining. As a long-term operating cement production line, the customer required refractory materials that could provide stable thermal performance, reliable mechanical strength, and cost-efficient operation under continuous medium- to high-temperature conditions. After technical evaluation and application analysis, fire clay bricks were selected as the optimal solution for this project. The products have been successfully packed, loaded, and shipped, meeting the customer’s delivery schedule and application requirements. Application Background and Operating Conditions Cement kiln systems operate under demanding thermal and mechanical environments. In this project, the fire clay bricks were mainly installed in the following areas: Preheater tower Tertiary air duct Kiln shell backup lining These zones are characterized by: Operating temperatures typically ranging from 800°C to 1200°C Continuous hot gas flow and dust abrasion Frequent thermal cycling during startup and shutdown Long-term mechanical load and structural support requirements For such conditions, the refractory lining must...

Glass Fiber Insulation Felt Supply for Oil Pipeline Insulation Jackets in Houston, USA
This project involves the supply of glass fiber insulation felt for an oil and gas pipeline insulation system in Houston, Texas, one of the most active energy industry hubs in the United States. The materials are intended for use in removable pipeline insulation jackets, a widely adopted insulation solution in oil and gas facilities where regular inspection and maintenance are required. Project Overview Project Location: Houston, Texas, USA Industry: Oil and Gas Application: Removable pipeline insulation jackets Product Supplied: Glass fiber insulation felt Total Quantity: 20 metric tons Project Stage: Material shipment in progress This supply project reflects the customer’s requirement for a stable, scalable insulation material solution suitable for oil pipeline systems operating under continuous industrial conditions. Project Background Houston is a major center for oil and gas production, refining, petrochemical processing, and pipeline infrastructure. In such environments, pipeline insulation systems play a critical role in controlling heat loss, improving energy efficiency, protecting personnel from high surface temperatures, and ensuring compliance with safety and operational standards. For many oil and gas facilities, removable insulation jackets are preferred over permanent insulation systems. These jackets allow maintenance teams to easily remove and reinstall insulation during inspections, repairs, or system modifications, without...

Silicon Carbide Castable & Silicon Carbide Brick Solution for a U.S. Client
A U.S. ceramic manufacturer required a refractory solution for a custom-designed ceramic kiln operating under severe abrasion and thermal cycling. Highland Refractory provided a tailored lining system using wear-resistant silicon carbide castable combined with silicon carbide bricks, significantly improving lining durability, reducing maintenance frequency, and ensuring stable long-term kiln operation. 1. Client & Project Background The client is a ceramic manufacturer based in the United States, specializing in high-performance ceramic products requiring strict dimensional control and stable thermal processing. Due to expanding production capacity and increasingly demanding product specifications, the client decided to invest in a custom-designed ceramic kiln, rather than a standard off-the-shelf kiln system. Unlike conventional ceramic kilns, this customized kiln featured non-standard internal geometry, variable temperature gradients, and localized zones exposed to intense mechanical abrasion caused by raw material movement and particulate impact. The operating temperature fluctuated between 1,350°C and 1,550°C, with frequent heating and cooling cycles dictated by production schedules. The client had previously experienced premature lining failure in similar kilns, including surface spalling, excessive wear, and material build-up, leading to unplanned shutdowns and increased maintenance costs. As a result, the refractory lining was identified as a critical risk factor in the new kiln project. 2....
