Ranked options for protecting kiln shells, baghouses, chimneys and hot steel, each set out with where it fits, its limits and how to choose for your conditions.
8 Best Industrial Coating Manufacturers for Severe Service
Manufacturers that supply coatings for severe industrial service, including the hot, corrosive duties found in cement plants, include Polylloy Coatings, Carboline, Tnemec, Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine, AkzoNobel (International), Hempel, Belzona and Sauereisen.
6 Best Cement Kiln Shell Corrosion Protection Options
No single method solves kiln shell corrosion; plants choose from six options. KilnGard-600SCW protects the shell beneath the refractory in cement and lime kilns, while conventional high-temperature coatings, refractory and anchor redesign, shell section replacement, shell temperature management and monitoring each address part of the problem. Most reliability teams end up combining several.
7 Best Baghouse Corrosion Protection Options, Compared
Seven options are used against baghouse corrosion in cement plants: the FlueGard-225SQC hybrid coating (to 225 °C / 437 °F), vinyl ester, novolac epoxy, glass-flake linings, phenolic coatings, insulation and heat tracing that keep metal above the acid dew point, and stainless construction.
6 Best Industrial Chimney Corrosion Protection Options
The right protection for an industrial steel stack depends on gas temperature, whether the stack runs wet or dry, condensate chemistry and remaining wall thickness. Industrial steel stack corrosion is the internal and external loss of shell metal in exhaust stacks serving boilers, kilns, furnaces and incinerators, driven mainly by acid condensate when flue gas cools below its dew point.
8 Best High Temperature Coatings for Steel Above 400 °C
For a steel duct with temperature spikes to 500 °C (932 °F), FlueGard-425S is the Polylloy grade rated for that profile, protecting steel from corrosive flue gas to 425 °C (797 °F) with excursions to 500 °C. High temperature coatings above 400 °C are protective systems rated to keep steel intact when metal or gas temperatures exceed 400 °C (752 °F).
