An industry leader in monolithic refractories based in Illinois recently announced a partnership with a maritime repair specialist to deliver retrofit supplies and services to the world’s cruise ship operators, extending the reach of advanced heat treatment technology and improving the reliability of onboard boilers and incinerators.
Nordic Made Boiler Services Inc. (NMBS), headquartered in Denmark, will use Plibrico’s Plico™ brand high alumina- and alumino-silicate monolithic refractories in the retrofitting of cruise ship boilers and waste incinerators needed to ensure passenger safety and comfort.
“Partnering with Nordic Made Boiler Services enables Plibrico to help improve maritime operations the world over reducing cruise ship costs and their energy consumption,” said Brad Taylor, president and CEO of Plibrico. “Combining our refractories with NMBS’s retrofit solutions means that together we can extend the reach of our most advanced heat treatment technology.”
NMBS operates in a variety of industries in addition to the maritime market and will be the exclusive distributor for Plico materials in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Poland, Spain, Holland, and Belgium. It will also be joining the Plibrico PliPartner™ network of certified installation and repair companies. The partnership will take full advantage of Plibrico’s high-quality aluminosilicate and high-alumina monolithic refractory materials. Demonstrating superior insulating properties, Plibrico refractories’ insulating properties facilitate the containment of heat generated by the marine boiler, minimizing heat loss and ensuring reliable hot water for ship passengers.
