An industrial cyclone is an important part of an FCC unit and plays a critical role in day-to-day refinery operations. Having worked inside a wide range of cyclones, our teams know that no turnaround looks exactly the same. Wear can vary throughout the cyclone as high temperatures and fast-moving catalyst particles affect the refractory lining and anchoring system differently. This hands-on experience helps us assess what we find and recommend the right refractory anchors and alloys for each repair area.
Good turnaround preparation helps identify these issues before repairs begin. SILICON reviews the areas that need attention and helps determine the right refractory anchors and alloys for the repair.
Understanding the critical nature of Pre-Turnaround for your refinery, SILICON offers a thorough review of FCC components, sub-components drawings, and refractory anchor specifications.
