AmStar’s thermal cladding technology is currently installed in the Power, Pulp & Paper, Petrochemical and Waste to Energy industries. 

Proprietary material compositions and conveyance methods allow for protection in difficult high temperature corrosion and erosion environments. The design of our equipment and our ability to mobilize quickly enable us to address needs at the client’s facility (in-situ). For example, AmStar applied 26,000 sq. ft. of cladding onto panels in the shop, then mobilized to the client site to tie in the weld joints and to apply an additional 3000 sq. ft. of cladding onto existing tubes in the unit. This eliminated the need for replacement of all tube panels.

Applications may include slopes, water walls, arches, super heater or reheater sections, economizers and transition zones. Also utilizing new cladding technology are Black Liquor Recovery Boilers (BLRB), Pulping Vessels of the Paper industry, as well as the highly corrosive and erosive conditions of Waste-to-Energy Boilers.

AmStar provides the shop cladding services at our facility in Houston, Texas. In addition to tube platens, tangent tubes and other tube applications, our shop applications include pumps, smelt spouts, and other plant process equipment.
