"SILICON is a reliable partner with innovative welding techniques and high-quality anchorages. In this regard, SILICON has a unique selling point.
The rapid arc welding can be carried out in a confined space simultaneously with other work. RAW was first used in a major repair, the quality of the concrete anchorage improved significantly while saving a lot of time. The long-term experience that we have made in our English factory shows consistently better durability of the anchorages."
“TOTAL and SILICON have a constructive relationship. I reached out to SILICON because I was interested by the SpeedHex3® technology. After several technical meetings to fully understand the scope and the potential interest of the products, we applied the SpeedHex3® in 2019 in 2 of our refineries - for high-temperature applications : FCC Unit in France – (Combustor Riser and Regen Catalyst Slide Valve) and FCC Unit in UK – (Emergency repairs on the reactor shell and regenerator parts).
Both implementations were successful. The Total shutdown teams were fully satisfied by the quality and the efficiency of the SILICON installation team.
The Speed-Hex3® are really fast to install : implementing this technology made T&I Teams save costly hours of the shutdown planning. Moreover, this is a performant and interesting product for installing anti-erosion concrete in the FCCs. Its initial cost may be on the high side compared to the traditional anchoring systems on the market, but when you look at the long-term investment, it is a no-brainer.
One compulsory key for success is that the SpeedHex3® must be installed by the SILICON welding team using his rapid arc welding technology. We consider that their expertise is the guarantee for the implementation of this new solution. SILICON is a reliable business partner, whom we are pleased to continue our journey with.”
“Especially in the kiln hood and kiln inlet area, we used to face refractory anchor problems. Thanks to the Rapid Arc Welding of the SpeedBolt® anchors in these areas, we solved our refractory abrasion problems. The SpeedBolt® anchors have reached 3 years of service!
Jorg Spzerlinski - Manager Engineering & Projects Cemex Germany : "The big advantages of this system are the high speed of installation and that the studs will hold for a long period of time. When the anchors have worn down, you can still use the SpeedBolts so that you only need to replace the anchors."
