Efficient, safe and controlled drying of refractory linings for the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and waste treatment industries.
At Environ Engineering, we provide specialized refractory dry-out services for industrial furnaces, reactors, combustion chambers, and piping systems.
Our focus lies on sectors with high technical demands such as chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, waste treatment, and energy production.
We combine thermal expertise, automation, and field experience to carry out the dry-out process of refractory linings in a controlled manner, fully compliant with international standards (e.g., API 936, DIN EN).
Why is a proper dry-out essential?
During the curing of refractory materials, moisture and binders must be carefully removed from the lining. If the heating process is too rapid or uncontrolled, it can result in:
- Cracking or delamination of the lining
- Reduced service life of the refractory
- Unexpected production downtime
- Risk of explosions due to steam build-up
Our dry-out procedures mitigate these risks through controlled temperature curves and real-time monitoring.
What can you expect from our approach?
✅ Fully customized dry-out scenarios
✅ Mobile heating systems with precise control
✅ Continuous logging and reporting for QA/QC
✅ Safety approach in compliance with ATEX and HSE requirements
✅ Experienced field engineers with in-depth knowledge of furnace construction and refractory materials
Applications
Our systems can be used for, among others:
- Reformers, incinerators, calciners, gas-fired furnaces
- Reactors with ceramic linings
- Pharmaceutical ovens with strict validation requirements
- Waste incineration lines subject to cyclic thermal loads
- Glass and metal industries where thermal shock must be prevented
Why choose Environ Engineering?
As an independent specialist, we combine flexibility with technical expertise. Our clients value:
- Short response times during start-up or shutdown
- A complete package: from engineering to execution
- Transparency in costs, scheduling, and measurement data
- Experience on multinational sites (Evonik, BASF, Borealis, Wienerberger, …)
