摘要：
Refractory ceramic fibres (RCF) are extensively used for the lining of Ethylene cracking furnaces in the petrochemical industries. Ceramic fibre materials do normally have a tendency of deterioration (de-vitrification, shrinkage, densification, reduced fibre resiliency, reduced thermal shock resistance, etc.) after a continuous exposure to high temperature for a long time. Premature deterioration of ceramic fibre module lining was noticed in a cracking furnace. The problem was unusual and was restricted to only one of the furnaces in the plant. The root-cause of the problem was investigated by evaluating the process condition of the furnace and analyzing the ceramic fibre samples. The results revealed that the presence of alkalis (Na2O & K2O) within furnace contributed faster deterioration of ceramic fibre lining. The detailed observations and results of ceramic fibre post-mortem analysis will be discussed.
