Refractory Dry-Out Burner System
Refractory Dry-Out Burner System
Precision-Controlled Heating for Safe & Reliable Commissioning
At ENCON Thermal Engineers Pvt. Ltd., we design and manufacture advanced Refractory Dry-Out Burner Systems engineered for precise temperature ramp control, uniform heat distribution, and safe moisture removal across industrial applications.
Our systems are fully customizable based on client and site requirements and can operate on multiple gaseous and liquid fuels. They are available in manual, semi-automatic, or 100% automatic configurations, ensuring flexibility across shutdown projects, greenfield installations, and plant retrofits.
Why Controlled Refractory Dry-Out Is Critical
Fresh (green) refractory contains:
- Free moisture
- Chemically bound water
If heated too rapidly:
- Micro-cracks form
- Surface spalling occurs
- Internal steam pressure
- damages structure
- Structural integrity weakens
- Lining life reduces dramatically
A poorly executed dry-out can reduce refractory life by 30–50% before production even begins.
This is not a materials failure. It is a process failure.
With ENCON’s engineered dry-out system, these risks are controlled and minimized through precise thermal management.
ENCON Refractory Dry-Out Systems are:
- Modular in construction
- Skid-mounted and highly mobile
- Designed for harsh industrial environments
- Engineered for repeatable and documented performance
Unlike generic site burners, ENCON systems are engineered with:
- High turndown ratio for precise low-temperature control
- Precision combustion tuning to avoid thermal shock
- Reduced hot spots in single-burner configurations
- Integration with plant PLC / SCADA systems
- On-site technical supervision and commissioning support
