Saudi Gazette reported that Morgan Thermal Ceramics, a firm that designs and manufactures advanced heat insulation products, has been awarded a contract to supply modules for a refinery being constructed by SATORP, JV between Saudi Aramco and Total.

Morgan Thermal Ceramics received the order from KTI Corporation which is supplying the fired heaters for a portion of the SATORP project.

SATORP will be installing prefabricated panels of Thermal Ceramics Superwool 607 HT Pyro Bloc modules into six fired heaters at the facility located in Jubail. Delivery on the fast track project is expected to be completed soon.

SATORP specified that insulation used for this portion of the 400,000 barrels per day refinery and petrochemical project be composed of non RFC 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 engineered to offer advantages in high temperature insulation applications.
