About the Course

The Refractory Engineering Methodology Selection Installation and Testing (MITC1019) executive session is engineered for senior professionals aiming to master complex industry challenges. A effective training program to design, write, and control clear, safe maintenance and operating procedures; build management system; validate and write compliant instructions.

Learning Milestones

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Classify refractory families by chemistry, form, and manufacturing route for specific services.
• Explain key properties (thermal, mechanical, chemical) and their impact on performance.
• Select fit
• for
• purpose materials and designs for furnaces, kilns, heaters, and boilers.
• Apply ASTM
• aligned testing (physical/chemical/thermomechanical) and interpret results.
• Specify and oversee correct installation techniques for bricks and monolithics.
• Plan controlled drying/curing/heating to avoid steam spalling and cracks.
• Inspect linings in install and operation; detect early deterioration and defects.
• Perform structured failure analysis (RCA) to address root causes and improve reliability.
• Develop inspection/maintenance checklists and repair strategies that reduce downtime.

Professional Audience

• Refractory Engineers and Supervisors
• Maintenance & Reliability Engineers (high
• temperature assets)
• Process/Operations Engineers for fired equipment and kilns
• QA/Inspection Personnel working with refractory linings
• Technical Managers and Shutdown/Turnaround Planners

Modular Syllabus

Fundamentals & Standards—Refractories in Industry

- Role of refractories in high-temperature processes and asset integrity

- Categories by chemistry: basic, high-alumina, silica, SiC, carbon, zirconia

- Categories by form: bricks/shapes vs. monolithics (castables, gunning, ramming, plastics)

- Overview of ASTM standards for refractories and test methods

- Manufacturing technologies and implications for microstructure/performance

- Safety and environmental considerations in manufacture and use

- **Activity/Workshop:** Map service conditions of a heater/boiler/kiln to candidate refractory systems
