Variety of Furnace Work

Last week, CIC Pittsburgh replaced the upper wall of a Hot Dip Galvanizing Furnace, tuned another one, and shipped out a brand new furnace from our fabrication shop. The most interesting project was the upper wall replacement, which took place during a kettle change outage. The original upper walls had deteriorated over time. They could no longer be counted on to maintain a tight seal of the combustion chamber and the metal would no longer support new welding. Along with new steel structural shell, the walls were pre-lined with new insulation. Not shown in the photo are the new cover plates and other miscellaneous components that were replaces (thermocouples, spark igniters, flame rods, etc.)
