Case: biggest Hot Spot Repair

This is an example of a very successful Hot Spot Repair: the biggest Hot Spot Repair in the history of the Insulcon Group!

This Hot Spot Repair was in a petrochemical furnace. 4 m² of the low thermal mass (fibre) lining was severely damaged and partly fallen out and this was repaired within just five days. It was our fourth successful Hot Spot Repair within two years for the same client in different plants.
