The engineering office Dr. Gernot Mevec Consulting in Austria does not include a lab of its own. However, Dr. Mevec can direct you to the proper analytical labs or coordinate and manage the necessary analytical work for you.

Dr. Mevec does not provide refractory engineering services. However, the office is well connected and can direct you to a proper independent service firm.

A clear focus of the engineering services is refractory failure analyses. Refractory failure can be a very tricky subject. Often enough one can find very little evidence or proof, hence it is a detective job. A challenge for the team of Dr. Mevec.

To solve the mystery of a refractory failure, one must act like a detective. The failure shall be well documented by means of photos and samples. Data shall be collected regarding temperatures, atmospheric pressures, pH, chemical composition, dust, etc.

The team around Dr. Mevec can provide you with information on where to source raw materials and get you in touch with possible suppliers.

High-temperature applications require several different refractory materials; castables, bricks, pre-shaped parts, insulation, seals, and gaskets, etc. Dr. Mevec and his team can guide you to find the right materials and suppliers.

High-temperature applications not only require refractory material but also technical ceramics. Dr. Mevec and his team can guide you to find the right materials and suppliers.

High-temperature processes often result in corrosive gases and condensates. As a result, one must properly design the furnace shell to either operate above the dew point or well below the critical temperature of corrosion protection coating. Dr. Mevec and his team can guide you in the right direction.

Dr. Mevec and his team will help you to design a high-temperature process and monitor the relevant parameters. Tight and proper monitoring will help you to narrow the operating range and improve your performance and productivity.

Energy is a key element of cost. Considering the high energy cost as well as the high cost fluctuation, one must understand that end-user requests for better insulation to reduce overall cost. However, improving insulation may reduce refractory life. A well-balanced system shall be designed. The team of Dr. Mevec is happy to help you find your optimum.

Europe houses quite a number of well-established OEMs for almost any industry and application. Dr. Mevec and his team can guide you to find the right OEM for your application.
