Specific Applications
Refractories for FCCU
- Reactors and Regenerators: Cyclones, Drums, and Legs.
- CO Ducts.
- Internal and External Risers.
- Combustors.
- Spent and Regenerated Catalyst Ducts.
- Air Distributors.
- Plenum Chamber and Cyclone Outlet Ducts of the Regenerator.
- Y-Section of Regenerated Catalyst Ducts.
- Parts of the Stripper: Upper and Lower Cone-Type Deflectors.
- Upper and Lower Steam Rings.
Refractories for Crude Heating Furnaces (Fire Heaters).
- Radiant Chamber.
- Transition Zone.
- Convective Zone (including corbel design).
- Precast Components (including drying).
- Complete Transfer Lines.
API 936 Inspector Services.
The API 936 standard is key to ensuring the quality and durability of refractory linings, especially in the Oil & Gas, energy, cement, and steel industries.
What do we offer?
-
Advisory for Refractory Work Planning.
- Thermal and Mechanical Design.
- Material Selection and Metric Calculation.
-
Inspection of Existing Refractory Installations.
- Inspection according to API 936 and API 982 Standards.
- Detailed Diagnosis and Recommendations in a Report.

Specialized Installation Methods.
Chemically-Bonded Anti-Erosive Refractories.
Applied by pneumatic ramming, ideal for extreme abrasive services (cyclones, riser, and stripper).
Abrasion-Resistant Hydraulic-Bonded Refractories.
Applied by vibrocasting, suitable for hot gas transport ducts and external risers.
Quality and Certification.
We specialize in the manufacturing and installation of refractories for equipment in the Oil & Gas sector, complying with the specifications of licensors such as EXXON, UOP, AXENS and KRB, and ensuring full compliance with API 936 standards.




Each refractory system designed and installed by VR Ingeniería is supervised by API 936 certified inspectors, from the engineering phase through to installation. In addition, we apply rigorous controls at every stage of the process, including:
- Installer Qualification.
- Preparation and Testing of Specimens in Certified Laboratories.
- Preparation and Testing of Specimens in Certified Laboratories.
