SPIE Hotwork

Most refractory failures don't start with dramatic events. They start with shortcuts.

The reality is that a new refractory installation has many variables involved. One of the most important is the dryout process. Moisture trapped inside refractory materials must be removed gradually and according to carefully controlled heating schedules.

When millions of dollars in production depend on the performance of that lining, the startup process matters.

That's why industrial operators around the world trust SPIE Hotwork to execute engineered dryout and heatup programs designed to protect both equipment and schedules.
