Taking the risk out of fuel switching

Modelling of corrosion of refractories in hydrogen and hybrid furnaces with DSF Refractories & Minerals

FISC assists industry scale-up through world-leading material research centres helping create the vital low carbon materials of the future.

Through collaboration FISC and its partners Glass Futures, Lucideon, the Henry Royce Institute (HRI) and the Materials Processing Institute (MPI) have been working to derisk alternative fuels by looking at retrofitting existing furnaces and kilns and building new ones to run on low carbon fuels.

All the research centres have boosted their research capabilities through equipment such as multi-fuel and 100% hydrogen furnaces and metal refining pilot rigs to mimic electric arc furnaces.
And they have been working across industry on specific decarbonisation challenges, including a project with DSF Refractories to evaluate how two different glass materials will affect refractory corrosion if they move from an oxy-methane to a greener oxy-hydrogen atmosphere.
