High Temperature Insulation for Tulsa, OK
Applied Refractory supplies high temperature insulation materials to Tulsa, OK and the mid-continent industrial market. Tulsa's industrial base spans petroleum refining at HF Sinclair's 125,000 bpd Tulsa refinery, midstream processing operations headquartered at ONEOK and Williams Companies, aerospace MRO at American Airlines' facility — the largest airline maintenance operation in the world — and a significant manufacturing sector including AAON and Whirlpool. Every one of these sectors operates fired process equipment, industrial furnaces, and heat treating systems requiring high temperature insulation to maintain operating temperatures, protect equipment structure, and reduce energy consumption.

Tulsa, OK Industries We Serve
Applied Refractory supplies high temperature insulation to facilities across every major sector of the Tulsa, OK industrial market:
- HF Sinclair Tulsa Refinery — Process Heaters and Fired Equipment: HF Sinclair's Tulsa refinery operates process heaters, distillation systems, a base oil lube unit, and fired equipment requiring ceramic fiber module systems for hot-face insulation and castable refractories for burner zones and wear areas. The refinery's integrated base oil production adds specialty thermal processing equipment to the standard refinery insulation demand profile.
- ONEOK and Williams Companies — Midstream Processing Plants: ONEOK and Williams operate gas processing plants, fractionators, and treating units throughout Oklahoma. Fired process heaters at these facilities require ceramic fiber module insulation for sustained high-temperature operation. Amine regeneration unit reboilers and glycol systems use ceramic fiber modules rated for the specific temperature profiles of midstream gas treating applications.
- American Airlines MRO — Aerospace Heat Treating: American Airlines' Tulsa MRO facility maintains heat treating furnaces for aircraft component processing — solution treatment, aging, and stress-relief of aluminum alloys, titanium, and high-strength steel components. Aerospace heat treating furnaces require ceramic fiber insulation systems with exceptional temperature uniformity and precise hot zone temperature control to meet aircraft component processing specifications.
- Industrial Manufacturing (AAON, Whirlpool): AAON's Tulsa manufacturing complex — producing commercial HVAC equipment for distribution across North America — and Whirlpool's major manufacturing facility operate industrial ovens and heat treating systems requiring ceramic fiber insulation for energy-efficient batch and continuous production. Low thermal mass ceramic fiber reduces heat-up energy and improves throughput in production environments where furnaces cycle frequently.
- Power Generation and Utilities: Natural gas-fired power plants and cogeneration systems in the Tulsa area require ceramic fiber insulation and castable refractory linings for combustion chambers, HRSG systems, and industrial boiler maintenance.
