Waste incineration for energy production is constantly gaining ground over other sources, such as fossil fuels. The vast variety of waste being eligible for incineration, leads to a plethora of different chemical environments being present. For this reason we have developed, in close co-operation with many incinerator operators, special formulations to overcome the challenges imposed by a range of waste, spanning all the way from animal to municipal and medical.

The refractory materials offered by MATHIOS REFRACTORIES are tested and proven by the incinerator industry around the world. Products from the following lines are recommended by our experts:

  • IDEAL: Alumina (Al2O3)  bricks, with formulations based on calcined fireclay, mullite, andalusite, corundum, silicon carbide and chromium oxide, are used as main combustion zone and after burner chamber linings
  • MAT PLUS: Alumina (Al2O3) low cement castables (LCC), with formulations based on sintered mullite and chromium oxide, are used as ash hopper, chimney and burner linings
  • MAT MICRON: Alumina (Al2O3) ultra-low cement castables (ULCC), with formulations based on sintered mullite, are used as burner linings
  • MAT: Alumina (Al2O3) insulating castables, with formulations based on expanded clay and perlite, for use as insulation linings
