About Hazen Emery
Hazen Emery is not just a technician; he is a problem solver for industries where failure is not an option.
Born and raised in Texas, Hazen’s career began with a fascination for industrial systems and a hands on
approach to learning. Over the years, he honed his skills in high-stakes environments, mastering the art of
refractory installation, sandblasting, and protective coatings. Today, he leads projects that keep factories
running, boilers intact, and kilns operational even in the most extreme conditions.
Refractory materials are the unsung heroes of industrial operations, lining rotory kilns, boilers, and furnaces to
withstand temperatures exceeding 3,000°F. Tailoring materials like ceramic fiber, castables,
and fire brick to match specific
thermal, chemical, and mechanical demands. Emergency Repairs:
Minimizing downtime for cement plants and power generation facilities when refractory linings fail. Leading
new construction projects,
such as the complete refractory systems for Clean Harbors environmental facilities, ensuring compliance with
environmental and safety regulations.
Case Study: As project manager for a CoorsTek Refractory job, Hazen orchestrated the replacement of degraded
refractory Brick in a ceramic tumbler,
extending its lifespan while reducing cost. His team completed the project, earning recognition for
innovation in material selection.
Hazen specializes in:
- Custom Refractory Solutions
- Emergency Repairs
- Full Scale Installations
2. Abrasive Sandblasting
Abrasive Sandblasting
is the foundation of surface preparation, critical for ensuring coatings adhere properly.
sandblasting services include: Surface Profiling: Using advanced media (garnet, steel grit, or crushed
glass)
to achieve optimal roughness for coating adhesion. Corrosion Removal: Restoring tanks, and structural steel
in oil and gas
facilities to like-new condition. Eco-Friendly Practices: Recycling blasting media where possible and
adhering to Texas’s environmental guidelines.
Why It Matters: In a recent project :power plant,
We removed years of corrosion from a boiler interior,enabling a flawless coating application
that added decades to its operational life.
Sandblasting services include:
- Surface Profiling
- Corrosion Removal
- Eco-Friendly Practices
3. Industrial Coatings
Protective coatings
are the final defense against corrosion, erosion, and chemical exposure. Hazen’s expertise covers:
- High-Temperature Coatings
- Chemical-Resistant Linings
