Georgia-based Morgan Thermal Ceramics, a world leader in the design and manufacture of advanced heat insulation products, announced it has been awarded a contract to supply Superwool 607 HT Pyro-Bloc for a refinery being constructed by Saudi Aramco Total Refining Petrochemical Co. (SATORP), a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Total S.A. Morgan Thermal Ceramics received the order from KTI Corporation, which is supplying the fired heaters for a portion of the SATORP project. The Superwool 607 HT Pyro-Bloc fiber insulation will be installed into six fired heaters at the facility, which is located in Jubail. SATORP specified that insulation used for this portion of the project be composed of non-refractory ceramic fiber material in response to workplace environmental control concerns. Morgan Thermal Ceramics' Superwool products are special low bio-persistent alkaline earth composition fibers that have been uniquely engineered to offer advantages in high temperature insulation applications. The SATORP refinery is expected to be complete later this year and will have a capacity of 400,000 barrels per day.
