Steve Chernack and Riccardo Cantone, Morgan Advanced Materials
With global energy prices still somewhat volatile – and set to remain so – the ability to reduce energy costs and increase plant efficiency is of key importance to managers in many industrial sectors. However, it is particularly vital to petrochemical companies. Typical petrochemical operations, such as cracking, demand huge amounts of energy and very high temperatures which in turn has major implications in terms of cost, safety and equipment life cycles.
Fortunately, these issues can often be mitigated and, in many cases, financial and practical performance can be improved by the appropriate use of modern thermal insulation and designs.
The consumption of energy is of key importance to the metal casting industry, with most energy expenditure – 55 per cent - occurring during the melting process. However, until now it has been difficult to find data relating to energy use and crucibles, and so to assess the cost of crucible ownership in a way that includes energy savings. That situation has now changed, with a comparative study revealing that Morgan Advanced Materials' Salamander® silicon carbide (SiC) crucible performs particularly well in terms of energy consumption. Furthermore, changes made to the crucible in light of the study mean that the resultant energy-optimised Salamander® SiC may offer very considerable savings to foundries, through its increased energy transfer capability.
Morgan Advanced Materials has announced the launch of a new range of furnace products made from fully stabilised zirconia which offer extensive performance benefits in temperatures of up to 2,000ºC (3,632ºF) in a variety of industrial process applications.
Morgan Advanced Materials has enhanced its production capability to include brazing of zirconia in response to a growing market demand for zirconia products.
Morgan Advanced Materials has announced that it now has the capability to carry out digital prototyping at its Technical Ceramics facilities, maximising its design capability and providing more rigorous evaluation during development projects, particularly for brazed assemblies.
The expertise of Morgan Advanced Materials has been recognised once again, this time by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), the national trade association for the US wind industry.
It's suggested that in any walk of life people are assessed based on the company they keep, and this is the case in the refractories industry. A glance at any company's list of suppliers and customers will provide a clear idea of the way it does business. When this list does not change frequently, especially in extremely competitive product areas, there will certainly be a reason for it.
Morgan Advanced Materials, has won a highly respected regional award at this year’s prestigious EEF/Aldermore Future Manufacturing Awards.
Morgan Advanced Materials has launched a new range of stopper rods (monoblock stopper for cast iron applications).
Morgan Advanced Materials has made a further addition to its extensive product portfolio with the launch of a new range of high-temperature kiln furniture. Ideal for use at temperatures up to 1,700oC (3,092oF) under corrosive conditions, the launch of this new range in MgO-Spinel has been developed in response to the changing needs of the market.
