Case story for Nose Ring – Castables D52A From: Mr. XXSent: 6. oktober 2011 1:50To: AL-CEM Bahrain; Lindhal Bentole HasleSubject: FW: Kiln Nose Ring Photograph Dear Mr. Kurt,                      I am sending you a photograph of Kiln Nose Ring condition which was installed in second week of January,2011 and photograph was made in recent  shut down in September,2011. This time we have taken annual shutdown earlier in September which was scheduled in January,2012 due to some other reason. We replaced brick lining in burning and transition zone but had minor repair of Nose Ring Castable. We did not go for its replacement due to excellent condition of castable and to avoid prolonged shutdown. Thickness of Castable was as good as new casted except few corners had worne out which were repaired by chipping,anchoring, fixing proper steel shuttering and pouring Hasle D52 Castable. We expect life time upto minimum 18 months and we shall try upto 24 months so that it should be replaced during next annual shutdown.This will help you in presenting company XX case study in Bangkok Seminar.  Best RegardsMr. XXManager ProductionThe plant
