Gillespie + Powers, Inc. has been involved with the
design, maintenance, and installation of refractory systems in
waste incinerators throughout the United States. We have been
called upon by many clients to review their entire operations as
it relates to incinerator performance. The successful performance
of refractory systems in incinerators, and especially waste
units, is achieved with the optimization of many factors.
|
|
Gillespie + Powers, Inc. has accumulated a great deal of
information resulting from our many designs, investigations and
rework of these refractory systems. We have accumulated and
categorized these factors as it relates to original design,
material selection, installation, operating conditions, and
conditions that exist after service. We use this information to
assist us in reviewing new designs as well as for determination
of cause or failure of completed installations.

|
Our capabilities are needed by clients involved in a number of
industries with a primary emphasis on chemical processing, food
processing, and hazardous waste incineration. We also assist
primary equipment manufacturers in the design of the refractory
linings for hazardous waste incineration.

Since the refractory lining is the heart of the system, the
exterior casing must accommodate the design of the lining. The
incinerator is designed from the inside out. Important factors to
consider are: chemistry of the waste stream, mode of entry of the
waste, the operating temperature, and the slag reaction. Zoning
can provide economical operation and maintenance. After the
refractory system is developed, the steel is fitted around the
lining. Because of the engineering requirements, it is important
for Gillespie + Powers, Inc. to be consulted at the earliest
possible point in the construction of a lining. Correct shapes,
materials, application, and attention to detail are essential to
a successful design. In addition to new linings, we excel in
modifications and repairs.

Gillespie + Powers, Inc. specializes in the highly technical
area of refractory application engineering for hazardous waste
incineration. The heart of the incinerator is the refractory
lining. High technology and superb craftsmanship are integrated
to create structurally superior linings. We are virtually alone
in understanding the engineering details involved in the design
and construction of refractory systems for incinerators.
