Abstract:
1. An anchoring system for supporting a double-layered refractory lining of a process vessel comprising a first layer positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the process vessel and a second layer positioned adjacent to the first layer, wherein the anchoring system comprises a plurality of bifurcated anchors extending from the internal surface of the process vessel through the first layer and into the second layer of the double-layered lining adjacent the first layer wherein said plurality of bifurcated anchors have a bifurcation disposed within the second layer, and wherein the bifurcation point as measured from the anchor vertex is positioned in the second layer at a distance away from the interface between the first layer and the second layer, with the distance being equivalent to from 15% to 75% of the thickness of the second layer.
