Dry Out and Heat Up

Dry-out ensures the safe removal of moisture from newly installed refractory linings, preventing cracking or spalling due to thermal stress. This process enhances the durability and performance of linings in high-temperature areas like kilns and preheaters.

Blast Furnace Heat-Up

Heat-up and dry-out services for blast furnaces involve gradually raising the temperature to prevent thermal shock and ensure uniform heat distribution. Dry-out removes trapped moisture from the refractory linings, preventing damage and extending their lifespan, optimizing furnace efficiency and safety during high-temperature operations.

Coke-Oven Service

Coke Oven services include full battery heat-up, heat-up after end wall repairs, through-wall heat-up, and heat-up of battery sections with regenerators. Additionally, holding temperature during hot repairs ensures the safe and efficient operation of the coke oven, optimizing performance and extending equipment lifespan.

Stove Heat Up

Stove heat-up process uses specially designed High Velocity Burners operating on an excess air basis, developed specifically for Stoves. This system ensures a positive furnace pressure, maintaining uniform temperatures throughout the stove. The controlled heat-up optimizes performance, reduces thermal stress, and ensures the efficiency of the stove during its operation in the steel-making process.

Reheat Furnace

Reheat furnace services include commissioning various types, such as plate mill, pusher, walking beam, and rotary hearth furnaces. Whether for new construction or heat-up after repairs, Hotwork International ensures optimal furnace performance and longevity through precise heat-up processes, minimizing risks and enhancing efficiency.

Ladle Pre-Heating Technology

Heat-up and dry-out services for Ladles in various sizes involve gradually raising the temperature to prevent thermal shock and ensure uniform heat distribution. Dry-out removes trapped moisture from the refractory linings, preventing damage and extending their lifespan, optimizing efficiency and safety during high-temperature operations. We offer full-scale long-term contracts.

Post Weld Heat Treatment

Improves the weld microstructure, reducing residual stresses to extend the life of vessels, pressure tanks, and equipment. Our global service covers industries like construction, offshore platforms, and petrochemicals. Using advanced thermal calculations and adhering to welding codes, we offer both on-site and factory PWHT with full.
