The CFB maintenance manager has to make rapid-fire decisions regarding refractory maintenance during short or unscheduled turnarounds. This presentation offers a hands-on approach to expedient refractory failure analyses with specific repair recommendations. Photographs of most typical CFB refractory failures and their structural repairs are discussed. The most reliable repairs can be expected by using the latest state-of-the-art refractory materials and installation techniques. Refractory materials are consumable; therefore minor repairs should always be conducted at the first opportunity; this will preclude future major repairs. During a short or unscheduled outage, major repairs should be confined to the specific structural repair site; the removal of good, serviceable refractory is unnecessary under these conditions.
