Refractory Inspector

Refractory that's still running. We still check it.

Independent API 982 in-service inspection for fired heaters, reformers, kilns and FCCU units that can't come offline. I read condition, catch damage mechanisms early, and give you a shutdown-or-run call backed by data — not a guess.

Our Services

Independent in-service inspection and condition monitoring of refractory-lined equipment in operating units — keeping your assets running safely without unplanned downtime.

API 982 In-Service Inspection

In-service assessment of refractory-lined equipment while in operation, identifying early signs of deterioration without requiring a full shutdown.

Refractory Condition Assessment

Visual and thermographic evaluation of lining condition, hot-spots, and shell temperature anomalies to assess remaining service life.

Thermal Imaging & Hot-Spot Survey

Infrared thermography of vessel/furnace shells to detect refractory breakdown, hot-spots and potential burn-through risk during operation.

Erosion & Corrosion Monitoring

Tracking of refractory wear mechanisms — erosion, corrosion, spalling, and chemical attack — across inspection intervals to trend degradation.

Remaining Life Assessment

Engineering evaluation of inspection data to estimate remaining service life of refractory linings and recommend run/repair/replace decisions.

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) Support

Integration of in-service refractory findings into RBI programs to prioritize inspection intervals and maintenance planning.

Turnaround Planning Input

In-service findings translated into scope-of-work recommendations for upcoming turnarounds, minimizing unplanned downtime.

Non-Conformity & Defect Reporting

Detailed reporting of identified defects with severity classification, photographic evidence, and corrective action recommendations.

Historical Trend Analysis

Comparison of current findings against previous inspection records to track degradation rate over time.
