Thermal oxidizers are used to combust a variety of gas and liquid waste streams along with byproducts. These units can operate at temperatures over 2600F (1425C), and the combustion can often result in reducing conditions which can degrade refractory materials. Refractory designs can vary based on operation conditions and duty requirements. Contact Allied Mineral Products to discuss your specific needs.
