FOR STEEL, CEMENT & INDUSTRIAL PLANTS

Plan the next life
of your spent
refractories.

Build segregation, off-take and recovery into your next shutdown or relining campaign.

A PROGRAMME BUILT AROUND YOUR SITE

From a shutdown pilot
to a repeat partnership.

Work with GRPL to assess the stream,
define responsibilities and plan a
practical recovery route.

01 / BEFORE

Assess & plan

Review refractory types, equipment, lining zones, expected volumes and shutdown timing. Agree how each stream will be identified.

02 / ON SITE

Segregate & collect

Define storage areas, containers, loading and off-take responsibilities. Keep recoverable material separate from mixed demolition debris.

03 / AFTER

Recover & document

Select the preparation route and agree the records needed for recovered output, residual fractions and the next campaign.

INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC APPROACH

01

Steel plants

Different equipment. Different refractory streams.

Converters, ladles, torpedo ladles and flow-control systems generate distinct material families. Separate MgO-C, AMC, ASC, alumina–spinel and slide-gate material by equipment and service zone before they become mixed.

Start with: the unit, lining specification, quantity, photographs and next relining date.

  • Converter & BOF material
  • Ladle lining streams
  • Torpedo-ladle refractories
  • Slide gates & flow control
02

Cement plants

Make recovery part of the kiln shutdown plan.

Map the lining by kiln zone and separate magnesia–alumina or spinel-bearing brick from aluminosilicates, castables, shell scale, anchors and general debris. Early separation helps preserve the usable fraction.

Start with: the kiln-zone map, recent brick specifications, expected tonnage and shutdown window.

  • Kiln-zone segregation
  • Shutdown off-take planning
  • Storage & loading arrangements
  • Repeat recovery programmes

CLEAR SCOPE. PRACTICAL EXECUTION.

Agree the details
before material moves.

Material acceptance, site work, transport, documentation and residual disposal responsibilities are defined after assessment. The commercial approach depends on recoverable yield, contamination, volume, location and handling requirements.

Projects may involve material purchase, processing or service charges, or a combined model. A representative sample or pilot stream helps establish the right approach.
