The petrochemical industry is the cornerstone of contemporary society, fuelling industrial operations, heating households, and facilitating the movement of goods and individuals.
SILICON’s contribution lies in enabling refineries to reach unprecedented standards of safety and operational excellence through our refractory anchor solutions and RAW technology.
Over the course of numerous decades, the petrochemical industry has been dedicated to tackling a range of challenges linked to high-temperature processing vessels. A predominant contributor to these concerns has been the inadequate installation of hex metal, leading to eventual failures.
The quest for ever better performance led firstly to the SpeedCell® system which later evolved into the SpeedHex® 3 system. This is an ideal solution for all petrochemical refractory issues and we are ready to help you!
