Brick linings are a proven solution for corrosion, abrasion, and thermal protection in demanding chemical processes. Ceramic and carbon bricks, combined with specialist mortars and membranes, create a robust barrier against aggressive chemical environments, ensuring the longevity and reliability of key assets.
Ancorite is proud to be an approved installer for industry-leading systems, including: KCH-Steuler range of rubbers, Keranol mortars and acid brick linings. KNIGHT-WARE™ range of PYROFLEX™ acid resistant sheet lining, DuPly membrane, Permanite mortars and Knight-Ware brick linings.
Our comprehensive services include the specification, supply, and installation of brick linings for both new construction and maintenance projects. With extensive expertise in applications such as steel pickle tank strip and re-lining, sulphuric acid tower linings, HCl reactor linings, and acid effluent pit linings, we deliver tailored solutions that meet the highest performance standards.
In addition to linings, Ancorite can supply steel vessels, complete with vessel internals, nozzle sleeves, and tower packing, offering a complete end-to-end service. Our maintenance team is equipped to provide rapid response to leaks and emergencies, utilising a stock of bricks, mortars, and membrane materials to ensure swift and effective repairs. With our technical expertise and commitment to excellence, Ancorite is your trusted partner for all brick lining requirements.
Ancorite is highly experienced in managing the challenges of confined space environments. We provide a fully controlled working environment, including power supply management, temperature and humidity control, ATEX-certified lighting and ventilation, and comprehensive safety and rescue equipment. With a unique combination of expertise, resources, and a fully integrated team, Ancorite delivers vessel lining solutions that set the standard for safety, reliability, and performance.
Brick linings are installed inside industrial vessels to provide a robust protective barrier against corrosion, chemical attack, abrasion, and, in some cases, elevated temperatures.
They are typically used where process conditions are too aggressive for coatings or rubber linings alone, helping to protect the structural integrity of the vessel and extend its operational life.
Brick linings are commonly applied in acid storage tanks, chemical reactors, process towers, and effluent treatment systems.
They are widely used in industries such as chemical processing, steel production, power generation, and wastewater treatment, where vessels are exposed to highly aggressive chemicals or abrasive materials.
Brick linings offer excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, and mechanical wear, making them one of the most durable vessel protection systems available.
They are often specified where alternative systems such as coatings or rubber linings may not provide sufficient long-term performance, particularly in severe service conditions.
Vessel brick linings typically use ceramic, carbon, or acid-resistant bricks, combined with specialist mortars and membrane systems.
Material selection is based on the specific chemical exposure, temperature range, and mechanical demands of the process to ensure compatibility and long-term performance.
Yes – brick linings can be repaired, replaced, or partially rebuilt during planned maintenance shutdowns or in response to damage.
Regular inspection and timely maintenance help extend service life, maintain containment performance, and reduce the risk of unplanned failure.
