Anchor system for refractory lining

An anchoring system for supporting a double-layered refractory lining of a process vessel comprising a first layer positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the process vessel and a second layer positioned adjacent to the first layer, wherein the anchoring system comprises a plurality of bifurcated anchors extending from the internal surface of the process vessel through the first layer and into the second layer of the double-layered lining adjacent the first layer wherein said plurality of bifurcated anchors have a bifurcation disposed within the second layer, the anchoring system further comprising a plurality of other anchors extending from an inner surface of the process vessel into the first layer.

An anchoring system for supporting a double-layered refractory lining of a process vessel comprising a first layer positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the process vessel and a second layer positioned adjacent to the first layer, wherein the anchoring system comprises a plurality of bifurcated anchors extending from the internal surface of the process vessel through the first layer and into the second layer of the double-layered lining adjacent the first layer wherein said plurality of bifurcated anchors have a bifurcation disposed within the second layer, the anchoring system further comprising one or more stiffeners mounted to the inner surface of the process vessel.

An anchoring system for supporting a double-layered refractory lining of a process vessel comprising a first layer positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the process vessel and a second layer positioned adjacent to the first layer, wherein the anchoring system comprises a plurality of bifurcated anchors extending from the internal surface of the process vessel through the first layer and into the second layer of the double-layered lining adjacent the first layer wherein said plurality of bifurcated anchors have a bifurcation disposed within the second layer comprising a combination of anchors and stiffening plates, the stiffening plates extending from an internal surface of the process vessel into the first layer of the double-layered lining adjacent the internal surface of the process vessel and the anchors comprising one or more first anchors extending from an inner surface of the process vessel into the first layer and a plurality of second anchors, the second anchors comprising the bifurcated anchors extending from the internal surface of the process vessel through the first layer and into the second layer of the double-layered lining adjacent the first layer wherein said plurality of bifurcated anchors have a bifurcation disposed within the second layer.

A lining for a process vessel comprising a first layer positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the process vessel and a second layer positioned adjacent to the first layer, the lining having a plurality of bifurcated anchors extending from the internal surface of the process vessel through the first layer and into the second layer of the double-layered lining adjacent the first layer wherein said plurality of bifurcated anchors have a bifurcation disposed within the second layer, and wherein the bifurcation point (as measured from the anchor vertex) is positioned in the second layer at a distance away from the interface between the first layer and the second layer, with the distance being equivalent to from 15% to 75% of the thickness of the second layer.

A lining for a process vessel comprising a first layer positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the process vessel and a second layer positioned adjacent to the first layer, the lining having a plurality of bifurcated anchors extending from the internal surface of the process vessel through the first layer and into the second layer of the double-layered lining adjacent the first layer wherein said plurality of bifurcated anchors have a bifurcation disposed within the second layer, and wherein the lining further comprises one or more stiffeners mounted to the inner surface of the process vessel.

A lining for a process vessel comprising a first layer positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the process vessel and a second layer positioned adjacent to the first layer, the lining having a plurality of bifurcated anchors extending from the internal surface of the process vessel through the first layer and into the second layer of the double-layered lining adjacent the first layer wherein said plurality of bifurcated anchors have a bifurcation disposed within the second layer, and wherein the lining further comprises a plurality of anchors extending into the first layer but not extending into the second layer.
