In-House and Open Refractory Training Courses
CHB presents in-house refractory training courses for the HIP & Petrochemical Industry. The courses are tailored to suit our client's plant requirements and to address specific refractory reliability issues.
The courses were presented by the late Dr John Hancock and Mr Darrol Biggs who accumulatively have over 74 years experience in the Refractory Industry. Over 1200 delegates have attended our training courses in a period of 25 years and seating is typically limited to maximum of 30 delegates per course.
Courses have been presented in Australia, Bahrain, UK, Europe, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Indonesia, Malaysia and USA. Courses are also available online at: www.refractoryhub.com
If you would like more information on the practicality of the course, please contact us and we will provide a list of the previous delegates for you to contact alternatively visit : www.refractorytraining.com or www.refractoryhub.com for online courses.

the problem
Refractories are a critical part of the operation of most high temperature units namely; FCCU, SRU, Reformers, Reactors, Fired Heaters, Wastes Heat Boilers, Sulphur Pits, Incinerators, Ducting and Stacks to name a few. These linings are frequently a major cost item both in general maintenance and also the unscheduled downtime of production units arising from premature refractory failure.
Refractory technology is changing so rapidly and the price of refractory materials is continuing to escalate so rapidly, that all users must conduct regular value audits on their refractory purchases.
Why are Our Courses Different?
We will equip delegates with the necessary skills to assess the Risk of Refractory Failure and to Examine Design Concepts.
- Purchase Specifications
- Materials
- Installation
- Heat-up
- Operation
Who Should Attend?
The course is a necessity to people who have a responsibility for refractory purchases, inspections and who are involved in a production function. The latter will find the course of great value in understanding the relationship between refractories and process operations.
- Maintenance Engineers
- Project Management
- Inspectors
- Metallurgists
- Buyers
- Operators
- Refractory Supervisors
