Refractory repair
Professional refractory service by OEM experts.
The importance of incinerator refractory repair
The refractory lining is one of the most critical components of any incinerator. Without it, safe and efficient combustion cannot be guaranteed. A damaged or poorly installed refractory can lead to operational failures, environmental non-compliance, and costly off-hire.
More critically, compromised refractory linings can pose a direct safety hazard, increasing the risk of onboard fires, heat damage to surrounding equipment, or even personal injury to crew members. Maintaining a high-quality refractory lining is essential for protecting both people and the vessel.
At Atlas Incinerators, we specialise in incinerator refractory repair tailored for shipowners and operators who prioritise long-term performance and full compliance with IMO MARPOL Annex VI. Our certified refractory services are based on decades of incinerator expertise and utilize only the highest-grade materials, designed to withstand extreme thermal and chemical exposure.
OEM-Certified refractory services
We provide full-scope incinerator refractory repair, including:
- Inspection and condition assessment
- Certified refractory replacement and relining
- Repair of porous or collapsed linings
- Use of OEM-certified refractory materials for longevity and performance
- Expert installation by trained Atlas engineers or authorised partners
Improper refractory repairs, especially those performed using incorrect materials or by non-certified technicians, can lead to premature failure of the incinerator lining. This increases the risk of unplanned downtime, operational inefficiencies, and in some cases, environmental non-compliance. Ensuring that repairs are carried out with OEM-approved materials and according to manufacturer specifications is essential to maintain safety, extend equipment lifespan, and reduce the risk of costly interruptions.
Built for marine and offshore conditions
Our refractory materials are selected for their resistance to:
- Thermal cycling and temperature shock
- Chemical corrosion from sludge oil combustion
- Mechanical wear from solid waste operation
Combined with our three-chamber incinerator design, the result is safer, cleaner, and more energy-efficient waste management at sea.
When should you replace your refractory lining?
Based on service data, refractory linings should be checked every 30 months as part of a Health & Safety inspection. We recommend planning refractory lining replacement during scheduled docking to avoid the risk of sudden failure and ensure continuous compliance with emission regulations.
