These solutions include preheating of welds, post-weld heat treatments and refractories dry out, with highly qualified personnel and our own equipment.

CEMEX MACEO. New production line (COLOMBIA)

Turnkey Integrated Service Contract, which included the Engineering, Supply, Installation and Drying of refractory material for CEMEX‘s plant in Maceo, Colombia. The scope included the Preheater Tower, Tertiary Air Duct, Clinker Cooler and other auxiliary equipment, totalling more than 1,420 MT of materials. The project was executed on schedule and to the full satisfaction of the client.

BORSTAR BAY3 / MCDERMOTT 2021 PROJECT. MEXICO

In 2020 Alfran was awarded the contract for the supply and application of fireproofing and thermal insulation materials for the Borstar Bay3 project. This project is a milestone in the region as it involves the construction of a new 625,000 tonne/year modular High Density Ethylene (HDPE) production plant.

The fireproofing work involved the application of more than 7,000 m2 of intumescent epoxy material in 13 of the 27 modules that make up the plant. This task could be carried out in a timely manner thanks to the excellent qualifications of Alfran’s personnel, a fact for which the client congratulated us.

On the other hand, the Thermal Insulation works were carried out on all the piping of the 27 modules and on 41 process equipment. The materials required included the application of rock wool, PIR and cellular glass, among others. All these components were installed in accordance with the highest quality standards in the sector, such as the C.I.N.I. standard (International Standard for Industrial Insulation).

REPAIR OF THE REHEATING FURNACE AT GERDAU GROUP

Alfran carried out the repair of the reheating furnace at the GERDAU steel plant in Sahagún, Hidalgo (Mexico). Specifically, the execution of this project consisted of the repair of the skids in the equalisation zone and the heating zone.

In this project, our Drytech 70 concrete was used, both in its version for installation by vibrocasting and in its version for application by Shotcrete Alfranjet technology, in the front walls, exit doors and vault blocks. Our TIX product range, TIX 80 and TIX 60, was used for the skids.

In total more than 50 tonnes of high quality concrete were installed by Alfran in this project.

PROJECT FURNACE 3 JATCO

Alfran carried out the complete replacement of the refractory castables of JATCO’s aluminium Reverberatory Furnace No. 3 at the Aguascalientes (Mexico) facility. In a record time of 25 days, Alfran supplied and installed materials specially recommended for this equipment, such as Drytech 85 AL, Drytech 85, TIX 40 and our insulating concretes from the LITE range. In addition, 25 tonnes of solidified aluminium were removed from the furnace.

The client was delighted with the good work of our team, both in the execution of the installation and in health and safety, which has positioned us at the forefront of the aluminium sector throughout the American continent.
