- Achieving High Value in Kiln Insulation and Furnace Refractories
Steve Chernack, Manager – Engineering Accounts, Morgan Advanced Materials
(contributing: Chris Johnson, Applications Engineering and Drafting Services Manager; Roger Patrick, Product Manager - Fired Refractory Shapes; Randy Bishop, Product Manager - Electrical Carbon; Dr. Michael Rozumek, R&D Director)
In any manufacturing process involving a kiln or furnace, the need for consistency is key to ensuring ‘right first time’ components – whether this applies to processing temperatures, atmospheric content, or the overall firing process.
While the quality of the kiln and furnace infrastructure itself is of course crucial to achieving this, what is no less important is the correct selection and use of refractory products involved in the process, whether these be high temperature insulation systems, kiln cars and furniture, or fired refractory shapes.

- Addressing the Safety Issues of Air Transportation of Lithium-ion Batteries Using Thermal Management Solutions
Thomas Schwarz and Peter Ermtraud, Morgan Advanced Materials, Thermal Products division
The innovative approach taken by Morgan Advanced Materials has led to the development of a novel solution to combat the issues created by the transportation of lithium-based batteries on civil aircraft. These batteries are subject to the problem of thermal runaway and a number of very serious incidents have occurred over the years, bringing them to the attention of international aviation authorities who have taken strong measures to increase the safety surrounding their transportation as cargo. However, these batteries are still carried by thousands of passengers and with their propensity to overheat, they pose a constant danger. A safe and reliable solution, tested in conjunction with a leading airline, has now been found, harnessing the very latest in materials technology from Morgan.

- High Performance Materials: Reducing Heat Loss and Lowering Energy Consumption in an Ethylene Cracker
Steve Chernack and Riccardo Cantone, Morgan Advanced Materials
With global energy prices still somewhat volatile – and set to remain so – the ability to reduce energy costs and increase plant efficiency is of key importance to managers in many industrial sectors. However, it is particularly vital to petrochemical companies. Typical petrochemical operations, such as cracking, demand huge amounts of energy and very high temperatures which in turn has major implications in terms of cost, safety and equipment life cycles.
Fortunately, these issues can often be mitigated and, in many cases, financial and practical performance can be improved by the appropriate use of modern thermal insulation and designs.

- Building Strong Partnerships ‘Central’ to Long Term Success
It's suggested that in any walk of life people are assessed based on the company they keep, and this is the case in the refractories industry. A glance at any company's list of suppliers and customers will provide a clear idea of the way it does business. When this list does not change frequently, especially in extremely competitive product areas, there will certainly be a reason for it.
