Aside from boiler settings and such minor uses as fullers earth revivifying furnaces and sludge acid recovery plants, the main use for refractories in oil refineries is in fire still settings. With the shell type stills which were almost exclusively used in the past, service conditions are not severe enough to require anything more refractory than the best quality No. 1 fire brick, but some of the tube type cracking stills recently introduced are much more severe in their refractory requirements.
