High Temperature Insulation for St. Louis, MO
Applied Refractory supplies high temperature insulation materials to St. Louis, MO and the greater bi-state industrial region. St. Louis is one of the most industrially diverse metro areas in the Midwest — anchored by Phillips 66's 331,000 bpd Wood River Refinery, a major chemical manufacturing base including MilliporeSigma, BASF, and Procter & Gamble, Boeing's military aircraft manufacturing, and Ameren's power generation infrastructure. The fired process equipment, industrial furnaces, and heat treating systems across these sectors require ceramic fiber insulation, insulating fire bricks, and castable refractories to maintain operating temperatures, protect equipment, and reduce energy consumption.
Applied Refractory manufactures ceramic fiber insulation products in-house at our Liberty, TX facility — approximately 780 miles from Liberty, TX via I-10 and I-55 — 1–2 day freight transit — and distributes a full range of refractory materials from Allied Mineral Products, WESCO Refractories, RATH Group, and Pocono Fabricators/SAUERISEN.

St. Louis, MO Industries We Serve
Applied Refractory supplies high temperature insulation to facilities across every major sector of the St. Louis, MO industrial market:
- Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery — Process Heaters and Fired Equipment: Phillips 66's Wood River Refinery — the largest Phillips 66 refinery in the US at 331,000 bpd — operates process heaters, an FCCU, hydrotreaters, reformers, and utility boilers requiring ceramic fiber module systems for hot-face insulation and castable refractories for burner zones and wear areas. High temperature insulation in refinery process heaters reduces fuel consumption and improves temperature uniformity across heater passes.
- Chemical Manufacturing (MilliporeSigma, BASF, Procter & Gamble): Chemical manufacturing operations in the St. Louis region use fired reactors, process dryers, and industrial heating systems requiring high temperature insulation rated for chemical process environments. Ceramic fiber blankets, boards, and module systems rated to 2600°F–3000°F cover the operating temperature range of most chemical process equipment in the St. Louis industrial corridor.
- Aerospace Heat Treating — Boeing St. Louis: Boeing's St. Louis facility manufactures military aircraft requiring heat treating of aluminum alloys, titanium, and specialty steel components. Aerospace heat treating furnaces — solution, aging, and stress-relief ovens — require ceramic fiber insulation systems with exceptional temperature uniformity across large working volumes. Low thermal mass ceramic fiber construction reduces heat-up times between loads, improving production throughput for aerospace component processing.
- Power Generation and Utilities (Ameren): Ameren's power generation infrastructure throughout the St. Louis region includes natural gas-fired power plants, industrial cogeneration systems, and utility boilers requiring ceramic fiber insulation and castable refractory linings for combustion chambers, HRSG casing insulation, and boiler maintenance.
- Industrial Manufacturing and Specialty Processing: The broader St. Louis manufacturing base — including specialty steel fabricators, industrial equipment manufacturers, and food and beverage processors — operates industrial ovens, dryers, and process heaters requiring high temperature insulation for energy efficiency and temperature control.
