A TOTAL BLAST

The blast furnace is the heart of any iron production facility. Its optimal functioning ensures the well-being of the entire plant. Alumina Monolithic Solutions & Ironmaking prides itself in being a blast furnace specialist. The company’s subsidiaries and teams have performed dozens of refractory projects on blast furnaces over the past years, from small and simple repairs to highly complex activities. Each project is highly individual and unique, and Alumina Monolithic Solutions & Ironmaking works with the entire palette of refractory materials and techniques. Where this is not enough, we develop new products to perfectly suit the project needs at hand. In a recent and highly complex project, Alumina Monolithic Solutions & Ironmaking conducted a comprehensive repair of an entire blast furnace, involving several technical teams.

Blast furnace lining engineering

The high capital investment of blast furnace relines mandates that iron makers pursue the longest possible campaign life. While the hearth remains the most critical zone for repair, the stack can always be re-profiled. Robotic repairs or manual installation by lifting platform are the usual, long experienced techniques used worldwide.

Engineering support is provided for product selection and turn key installations based on extensive international experience. The blast furnace service life extension, the environmental issues and cost reduction are aims of an open and mutual vision.

Furnace life extension is optimized by advanced engineering refractory products.

Alumina Monolithic Solutions & Ironmaking offers a complete range of monolithic and precasted shape products suitable for any blast furnace repair.
