• Resumen

  • "15 years ago it was only the lining life of the refractory that was focused on," Almatis' global technical director of refractories, Andreas Buhr, told IM. "Now, the way you make energy losses or energy savings are part of the process and not just the lining's lifespan." Slovenia-based monolithics specialist, Seven Refractories doo, is also noticing a trend for optimising energy efficiencies and minimising resource usage and gas emissions. The company's CEO, Erik Zobec, told IM that Seven Refractories has worked on developing on the most environmentally-friendly, alumina-based taphole clays available on the market.
