Top Submerged Lance (TSL) furnaces play a critical role in base metals smelting, converting, and refining, offering exceptional flexibility across various processes. Their versatility is also driving their growing popularity in e-waste recycling and base metal scrap recovery. Refractory management is essential for maximizing the campaign life and productivity of these vessels. At RMS, we deeply understand the complexities and challenges of TSL operations. With access to leading industry experts in TSL technology, we deliver tailored solutions that enhance campaign longevity and minimize downtime, ensuring optimal performance.

Eckel’s Non-Marking True Grit® Dies have established a new industry benchmark for handling Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA) tubulars. Specifically engineered for chrome tubulars, these dies ensure minimal die penetration and significantly reduce marking, effectively addressing critical needs in demanding applications. True Grit® Dies are designed to outperform the competition, lasting up to three times longer than other grit-faced dies available in the market. Additionally, True Grit® Die penetrations are typically less than half of the API allowable surface defect depth, ensuring minimal damage to the tubulars while providing a secure grip. By incorporating Tungsten Carbide grit, available in both coarse and fine grades, these dies offer substantially more contact points on the tubular surface compared to our traditional Pyramid Fine Tooth dies. The dense, metal-like properties of Tungsten Carbide prevent flaking or shearing, delivering exceptional durability and long-lasting performance.

Electrode paste 🙌 is a crucial industrial material, extensively utilized in 👉 electric furnace steelmaking, electrolytic aluminum, ferroalloy smelting, and other sectors. It is crafted by blending, stirring, shaping, and roasting carbon raw materials like petroleum coke, asphalt coke, graphitized coke, and coal tar. This paste offers excellent conductivity, high thermal stability, and self-baking electrode properties, ensuring the smooth operation of electric furnace steelmaking. Moreover, electrode paste plays a vital role in maintaining electrode height and stability in the furnace, enabling continuous operation. 👈 #Electrodepaste #graphitizedcoke #asphaltcoke #electrodes #steelmaking

Our Shaped Wire product line provides excellent versatility, from the profile options to size capabilities and so much more. Many of the applications of this product line involve corrosive environments where additional corrosion and oxidation resistance, as well as strength are required. To ensure our Shaped Wire products can withstand these conditions, in Mines, Oil and Gas refineries and more, Central Wire can perform precipitation hardening to further strengthen our alloys. This process involves three steps: Solution Annealing, Quenching and Aging, to help control and improve the mechanical properties of our premium alloys. To learn more about this process, and what benefits it provides for our products, check out our brand-new blog on the topic here! https://hubs.ly/Q02Z9vcn0 #BlogContent #CentralWire #ShapedWire #PremiumAlloys #PrecipitationHardening

Sand VS Chalk 🤝 Slurries of sand in water shown in the video are fast settling, whereas slurries of chalk in water are pretty slow settling. Why is this important? Well, carbon-bound catalysts behave similarly to the chalk slurry. As you can see, when we stop shaking the vials the sand slurry settles out much faster than the chalk slurry. Settling out very slowly over time, this is what makes carbon-bound catalysts extremely easy to feed into our Coflore flow reactors using simple equipment such as peristaltic pumps. Faster-settling solids, like magnesium powder, for example, require more consideration to ensure that they do not settle in transfer lines, this is what can cause blocking and other issues on the way to the reactor tank. #Slurryhandling #processoptimisation #catalysts

Great solution to some unknown issues within the Desalter. With our #EmulsionSENS, it is being able to look inside your operating Desalter and visualize all your different layers, be it mud, water/brine level, rag layer, the separation zone, and the oil level. Gives you insight on proper chemical treatment and operating parameters to ensure you are using the most possible volume of your vessel to allow for proper seperation.

This product adopts integral graphite block processing, heat exchange block without center hole, higher utilization rate, reliable performance. A special deep hole drilling machine is used to drill holes, the heat exchange block is sealed by polytetrafluoroethylene, and the upper part of the equipment is equipped with a pressure spring as a stress compensation device for temperature difference. Compared with YKA, the seal is more reliable. The maximum heat exchange area can reach 800 square meters. #silicon #siliconcarbide #heat exchanger #SIC #anticorrosive #Acid corrosion resistance #SiC Heat echanger #SiC tubes #SiC Anticorrosion #corrosion resistance #high temperature resistance #wear resistance #strong acid #strong alkali #HF #sulfuric acid #hydrochloric acid #hydrobromic acid #mix acid #Acid concentrater

Prior to the installation of the multiphase level measurement #EmulsionSENS on the #desalter, the customer had no idea what was really going on inside the vessel. After the measurement had successfully provided insights into the inside of the vessel for several weeks, it became apparent that the level should be lowered below the original operating range in order to improve the efficiency of the desalter. The reason for this was excessive iron carryover: the theory is that iron requires agitation to precipitate. However, some minerals float on the #emulsion layer causing less to precipitate. In this case, lowering the interface level in the vessel results in the turbulence of the mud washing system agitating the emulsion and thus supporting the precipitation of the iron. Thanks to Berthold's abilities and the design of #EmulsionSENS, it was possible to overcome the challenge and redesign the already installed system in a simple and uncomplicated way without having to replace everything.

When maintaining trenchers and surface miners, the type of grease used significantly impacts machine longevity and parts integrity. These equipment often utilizes EP2 grade grease, with the choice dependent on factors like temperature, load characteristics, and thickness needs. Changing greases requires careful consideration of compatibility, as not all types can be mixed. Avoid using lithium grease on rubber and plastic surfaces due to its petroleum base, which accelerates decay. Similarly, graphite should be avoided on galvanized surfaces as it promotes corrosion. Consulting an expert to evaluate grease options is crucial for optimal equipment performance. #Maintenance #T1255 #Surfaceminers #Trenching #Preventivechecks
