Corpus Christi, TX Industries We Serve

Applied Refractory supplies industrial equipment and refractory materials to facilities across every major sector of the Corpus Christi industrial market:

       Petroleum Refineries (Valero, Flint Hills Resources, CITGO): Corpus Christi hosts six major refineries including Valero's Bill Greehey East and West refineries, Flint Hills Resources' refinery complex, and the CITGO Corpus Christi Refinery at 167,000 barrels per day capacity. Process heaters, FCCUs, crude and vacuum units, hydrotreaters, and SRUs in these facilities require ceramic fiber module systems and castable refractories on recurring turnaround cycles.

       Petrochemical and Ethylene Plants (LyondellBasell, Gulf Coast Growth Ventures): LyondellBasell operates a major ethylene cracking and polyethylene complex in Corpus Christi. The Gulf Coast Growth Ventures joint venture between ExxonMobil and SABIC operates one of the largest single petrochemical investments on the Gulf Coast in San Patricio County. Cracking furnaces and polymerization reactors require ceramic fiber modules at precise temperature classifications and custom configurations for furnace retrofits.

       LNG Export and Natural Gas Processing (Cheniere Energy): Corpus Christi is one of the largest LNG export hubs in the US. Cheniere Energy's Corpus Christi LNG terminal and associated processing infrastructure require high temperature insulation systems for liquefaction trains, process heaters, and fired equipment across a broad range of operating temperatures.

       Port Industrial, Midstream, and Fabrication: The Port of Corpus Christi supports heavy manufacturing, specialty steel fabrication, and midstream operations including Targa Resources, Enterprise Products, and Kinder Morgan — all with pipeline and processing infrastructure requiring periodic refractory maintenance.
