Integral self-supporting composite refractory wall modules for refractory structures and methods of forming refractory structure walls of the same

Refractory modules are provided by multiple preformed refractory blocks bonded to one another by a bonding agent to form an integral self-supporting structure having a tooth and channel arrangement for interlocking assembly with a similar adjacently positioned refractory module.

REFRACTORY INSERT MEMBERS, REFRACTORY BLOCK ASSEMBLY INCLUDING SAME AND REFORMER FLUE GAS TUNNEL ASSEMBLY INCLUDING SAME

A refractory block assembly for a steam reformer furnace tunnel includes a hollow main body, at least one first mechanical mating member defining a protruded portion extending from an upper surface of the main body, at least one second corresponding mechanical mating member defining an opening corresponding to the protruded portion formed in a portion of a lower surface of the main body, and at least one through-hole having openings formed in a first side and an opposed second side of the main body portion. A refractory insert member having mechanical mating features on at least a portion of the outer surface thereof resides within the at least one though-hole of the refractory block.

Integral self-supporting composite refractory components and methods of making the same

Refractory components (e.g. crown or rider arches associated with a refractory structure such as coke ovens, glass furnaces, regenerators and the like) are provided by multiple refractory members bonded to one another by a bonding agent to form an integral self-supporting structure.
