Global engineering company Morgan Advanced Materials applies world-class material science and manufacturing expertise to solve its customers’ technical challenges.
A plethora of expertise makes up the complex products and services offered by Morgan Advanced Materials, but it essentially boils down to a simple concept: helping its customers achieve more with less.
However, when you look at the vast amount of what customers can get through Morgan Advanced Materials, the bottom line might almost seem like a paradox.

Superwool® XTRA, a low-biopersistent fiber, meets stringent environmental requirements in addition to high-temperature tolerance and improved pollutant resistance.
Lining iron and steel furnaces is critical to extend the life of the furnaces and to protect the purity of the metals being heat treated. Therefore, choosing the best material to meet these needs is crucial. For many years, the first-choice material for the industry has been refractory ceramic fiber (RCF), which can withstand the extreme temperatures within the furnace and has strong resistance to pollutants.

Regenerative Thermal Oxidisers (RTOs) are often treated as a mandatory piece of the operation puzzle. However, with the right lining, they can add crucial advantages to the manufacturing process, explains Alex Powell, Applications Engineer and Tyler Ferguson, Product Manager at the Thermal Ceramics business of Morgan Advanced Materials.
Air pollution is a hot topic globally and shows no signs of abating. According to EURACTIV, some 40 million people in the 115 largest cities of the EU are exposed to pollution exceeding World Health Organisation air quality guideline values (for at least one pollutant), the result is approximately 100,000 premature adult deaths each year.

When it comes to lining fired heaters in the petrochemical industry, RCF has been the go-to material, but it has its drawbacks. Steve Chernack, Global Engineering Manager at Morgan Advanced Materials’ Thermal Ceramics business, looks at how these can be mitigated, and a new option for petrochemical operators.
Alysha Liebscher, Business Development Manager, and Gary Gayman, Senior R&D Developer, at the Thermal Ceramics business of Morgan Advanced Materials explain why protecting against thermal runaway in electric vehicles is critical and discuss the options available to manufacturers.
Faced with rising demand and costs, the aviation industry is experiencing significant change. In times of revolution, Marco Pagni, Aerospace Product and Market Manager at the Thermal Ceramics business of Morgan Advanced Materials, explains what must be considered with thermal management and fire protection blankets, and why compromise is not an option.
Gary Jubb, Fibre Centre of Excellence Lead at Morgan Advanced Materials discusses the use of RCF as a furnace lining and how the petrochemical industry is preparing for a change in the form of a new alternative.
With a number of potential insulation fiber types to choose from, Wendy Evans of Morgan Advanced Materials’ Thermal Ceramics business outlines some of the reasons why more and more domestic boilers manufacturers are turning to Alkaline Earth Silicate wool to deliver enhanced energy efficiency, design flexibility and improved health and safety.
The rapid four-week installation of an ultra-lightweight fire insulation blanket from Morgan Advanced Materials is providing extensive thermal protection for three separator vessels on the Statoil Mariner offshore platform.
Morgan’s FireMaster vessel fire protection system is being used to maintain structural integrity of the separators against jet and hydrocarbon pool fires. Fire protection is crucial because these separators contain hydrocarbon inventory, which can become additional fuel to a fire in the event of structural failure. Thermal weakening and failure occur when the walls of the separator are heated by the exposing fire case. With increased temperature of the steel vessel shell, the applied stress on it increases, causing rupture. Morgan’s FireMaster protection ensures that the steel shell temperature does not reach breaking point as temperatures surge.
The design fire scenario stated that the separators should be able to withstand fire loads of five minutes of jet fire at 350w/m2, followed by five minutes of jet fire at 250kw/m2, and an additional 50 minutes of hydrocarbon pool fire. Morgan’s FireMaster solution was considered the most effective and easy-to-install option for the project, which had to be completed within the space of just one month.
