Pneumatic material transport pipeline with a UHPC thermCombi lining

UHPC thermCombi lining system consists of
a highly effective insulating layer and UHPC
wear protection.

For a cement plant in Europe, we should
create a technically optimal possibility that
a complicated hot gas line is provided with
wear protection against a very abrasive
material and at the same time the gas
temperature must not drop below 700°C /
1292°F. A similar project we had years ago
for asteel plant in Asia.
In order to meet these customer requirements,
we have chosen a UHPC thermCombi lining
system.

We reduced the temperature for the steel
structure to 80°C / 176°F. That was no problem
with the insulation material we chose. A high
temperature resistant UHPC wear protection
layer was installed on the insulation layer.

The advantage over a traditional refractory
lining was
:
 - The combination lining was about 60% lighter
      in weight.
 - The total layer thickness of the combination
      lining was 400% less than that of a standard
      refractory solution.
 - This meant that the steel pipe diameter was
      much smaller than with a refractory lining
      and the supports had to carry much less weight.
 - UHPC HT wear protection can withstand
      temperatures of 1200°C / 2192°F, which was
      an additional security in this project.
 - UHPC HT wear protection is several times more
      wear-resistant than refractory concrete, which
      has resulted in a significantly longer service life
      and much less maintenance.
