Gasification offers the cleanest, most efficient method available to produce synthesis gas from low or negative-value carbon-based feedstocks.  These include coal, petroleum coke, high sulfur fuel oil or materials that would otherwise be disposed as waste.  The gas can be used in place of natural gas to generate electricity, or as a basic raw material to produce chemicals and Gasifier 134tliquid fuels.

 

Saint-Gobain Ceramics, Specialty Refractories, has been supplying complete refractory linings to gasifiers for over 50 years.  Our high alumina, dense and bubble, special shapes for oil and gas fired units are known worldwide.

 

We also provide compatible monolithics, including mortars and castables.

 

A market leader since the late 70s for coal gasification refractories, we continue to develop a complete range of chromium oxide materials.  We offer several products specially engineered for low or high wear areas.
