Steel, aluminium, cement and petrochemicals: the Middle East concentrates some of the largest high-temperature installations in the world. SXE Consulting supervises refractory lining projects there, audits suppliers and inspects installations — with concrete references in Dubai.
The Gulf's high-temperature installations — steelworks, aluminium smelters, cement plants, petrochemical units — run at high intensity, where every unplanned stoppage costs millions. The quality of the refractory and of its installation is therefore a major availability issue. SXE Consulting brings expertise that is independent of both manufacturers and installers: specifications, supplier audits, site supervision, inspection. Our flagship reference: the supervision of ladle refractory lining in Dubai, delivering a significant extension of campaign life.
Our supervisors travel to Dubai and across the Gulf to oversee refractory lining projects — demolition, installation, dry-out, commissioning.
A network of qualified producers in Europe, China, India and the Middle East: we audit and qualify as close as possible to your installations.
No ties to manufacturers or installers. Our recommendations serve the service life of your installations, not a product catalogue.
