Ceramics Research Centre
 

What can we do for your company?
In many high temperature industrial processes, refractories are applied. The Ceramics Research Centre helps optimize the refractory lining of production installations to improve reliability, as well as to reduce costs and assure a safe environment. Examples of high temperature installations:
 
  • Melting furnaces (for metals)
  • Molten metal handling installations (ladles, converters, troughs, etc.)
  • Petrochemical installations
  • Incinerators
  • Glas melting furnaces
  • Annealing and reheating furnaces
For materials producers there is an ongoing need for innovation and materials development. The Ceramics Research Centre offers its knowledge on forming techniques of inorganic materials, services on quality control, state of the art testing, computer modelling, simulation testing, extensive characterization for producers of: Refractories, Industrial ceramics, Cermets and Metals.
 
Due to legislation, identification of products and waste streams is becoming more and more important for most companies. The Ceramics Resarch Centre helps companies in the field of: Slag analysis and recycling, Dust analysis, Product analysis (REACH classification) and Ceramic fibres analysis.
 
Furthermore, the services of the Ceramics Research Centre range from consultancy and materials testing to product development process simulation, computer modelling (temperature/stress calculations), prototyping, damage analysis and refractory courses.
