Welcome to Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories!

Profile

Pioneering ceramic solutions for extreme industrial applications and a greener world.

Total Burner Solution for Energy and Carbon Reduction
Thermal manufacturing process managers must continue to improve efficiency, achieve higher productivity, reduce emissions and overall energy use and keep equipment running as long as possible.
Single ended radiant tubes, U-tube and W-tubes each utilize enhanced design solutions and carefully selected materials to ensure performance and efficiency. Silit® ceramic radiant tubes, recuperators, flame tubes, and combustors are all established, proven and time-tested designs.


Visit us at booth #552 and learn more about our advanced products and solutions.

We look forward to meeting with you!

Saint-Gobain's Burner Solutions for High Temperature Applications

 Products

  • Ceramic Radiant Tube
    These tubes offer higher productivity coupled with lower energy consumption. The largest available ceramic single ended radiant tube is measuring 3,500 mm in length and with a 300 mm diameter. Available for straight and single-ended applications....

  • The silicon carbide radiant tube is the centerpiece of Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ range of total burner solutions. Ceramic radiant tubes can withstand application temperatures up to 1,380°C and can input up to twice as much energy into furnaces as alloy radiant tubes.

    Features and Benefits 
    • Made of robust silicon carbide
    • Operating temperatures up to 1,380°C
    • Long service life
    • Advanced silicon carbide microstructures provide high thermal conductivity and shock resistance
    • Industry-leading diameter and length
    • Suitable for most furnace applications
    • Thin-wall designs increase thermal performance and enable design flexibility
  • HeatCor™ and Silit® Recuperators
    Our recuperators that are integrated into burner systems for both direct and indirect-heating applications. Recuperator serves to recycle energy. Traditional ceramic recuperators allow for efficiencies of up to 75% in more sophisticated burner systems....

  • The HeatCor™ twisted channel recuperator is a heat exchanger technology enabled by the Amasic-3D® manufacturing platform.

    HeatCor™ allows recuperators and burner systems to exceed 80% efficiencies thanks to its unique twisted channel design and surface areas up to three times larger than traditional recuperators with the same footprint.

    Features & Benefits HeatCor™ Recuperators
    • Thin-wall silicon carbide offers the highest rates of heat transfer and thermal performance
    • Variable twist and channel cross-section provides optimized efficiency with the lowest pressure drop
    • Novel metal-ceramic interface ensures easy integration into metallic furnace components
    • 3D printed end-sets improve application flexibility and extend customization potential
    • A picture containing diagram
    • Description automatically generated

    Silit® SKD recuperators can be installed into every type and size of radiant tube. The recuperator recycles energy, with these traditional ceramic recuperators facilitating efficiencies of up to 75% in more sophisticated systems.

    Features & Benefits Silit® SKD recuperators
    • Made of robust silicon carbide
    • Operating temperatures up to 1,380 °C
    • Long service life Advanced silicon carbide microstructures provide high thermal conductivity and shock resistance
    • Industry-leading diameter and length
    • Suitable for most furnace applications
    • Thin-wall designs increase thermal performance and enable design flexibility

  • SpyroCor® Radiant Tube Insert
    SpyroCor® inserts can be easily retrofitted into existing radiant tubes, improving efficiency and bolstering the amount of heat that the radiant tube is reradiating into the furnace chamber....

  • Implementing these inserts can lead to energy savings of up to 15% and throughput improvements of up to 6%. SpyroCor® inserts are compatible with straight, U-TypeW-Type, and Tri-Type radiant tubes.

    Features & Benefits SpyroCor® Radiant Tubes Inserts
    • Made of robust silicon carbide
    • Operating temperatures up to 1,380 °C
    • Long service life High radiant output
    • Advanced silicon carbide microstructures provide high thermal conductivity and shock resistance
    • Patented twist fin design absorbs heat energy and reradiates heat back into the furnace 2-6 % throughput improvement 5-15% energy and carbon reduction
  • NOxBuster® Radiant Tube Insert
    NOxBuster® boasts a patented design that allows the recirculation of flue gasses within the radiant tube. This can lead to a significant reduction in flame temperature and up to 50% lower NOx emissions....

  • The NOxBuster® utilizes a novel design to recirculate exhaust gas and stage the combustion process. This reduces flame temperatures and supresses NOx.

    Benefits
    • Thin-wall silicon carbide for the highest rates of heat transfer and thermal performance
    • Novel design combines recirculation and staged combustion for optimum
    • NOx reduction using HeatCor™
  • PyroCor™ and Silit® Flame Tubes
    Silit® flame tubes (diffusers) function as a guide for the flow of combustion and combustion gas in single-ended radiant tube applications. PyroCor™ is a uniquely designed twisted tape flame tube, modified and developed for use in U-tubes and W-tubes....

  • Benefits
    • Made of robust silicon carbide
    • Operating temperatures up to 1,380 °C
    • Long service life
    • Advanced silicon carbide microstructures provide high thermal conductivity and shock resistance
    • Industry-leading diameter and length
