Plant Maintenance
Plant Maintenance
Ceramic Technology Inc. provides comprehensive plant maintenance services designed to support both large- and small-scale operations. Our experienced sales and service engineers work closely with customers to gather baseline information and identify maintenance needs for CTI catalog products and related parts. We focus on helping customers define the most effective strategies to maximize industrial plant maintenance priorities.
Our maintenance process begins with an on-site visit, where engineers review equipment requirements or replacement parts with the customer. CTI’s engineering team then prepares preliminary drawings for review, followed by a detailed quotation for final approval. Once a purchase order is issued, CTI manufactures the required equipment or parts, with most orders shipping within 4–6 weeks.
Fast, Reliable Plant Maintenance Solutions—Designed, Approved, Delivered
CTI delivers fast, accurate quotes for plant maintenance products. After receiving a purchase order, our sales and engineering teams collaborate with customers to confirm and approve final drawings. Most finished products ship within 4–6 weeks of approval. Our extensive drawing library enables faster reorders, supporting efficient operations. With decades of experience, we provide high-wear replacement solutions and proudly offer custom fabrications made in Virginia using U.S.-sourced materials.

Clear communication, dependable timelines, and engineering support help minimize downtime and keep critical plant operations moving without disruption.
CTI-X7® Bottom Ash Systems
CTI-X7® Bottom Ash pipe fittings 8" and 10" with ceramic wear backs, lined with 1" ceramic tile to combat small particle, high-velocity wear. We see up to five times the life of OEM high chrome parts at present. By eliminating wear pockets that result in partial plugging, our fittings keep flow FPS consistent. The consistent flow cuts down the potential for gas and dust explosions, which can happen when slower velocities occur.

CTI-X7® 24x7 Coal & Mineral Process Distributors
The coal and mineral process requires accurate stage distribution of the process flow. In most cases, coal and mineral slurries are pumped and directed to primary process equipment.
Cyclone feeds are critical in maintaining a balanced, even flow from the sump to distribution points to process equipment. Distributors may be as few as 2-way to as many as a 31-way arrangement to feed classifying cyclones.
Material flow wear is very aggressive, and high wear typically requires maintenance in a year or less.
The CTI-X7® Ceramic Lined Distributors will see five to ten years of life on a 24x7 process schedule.
CTI-X7® Bottom Ash Fittings
CTI-X7® Primary and Secondary Bottom Ash Cyclones, along with the CTI-X7® 6" and 8" pneumatic pipe and fittings with 1/2" ceramic liner, have benchmarked a much-improved ash system transport from the boiler to the silo.
The improved performance has dramatically reduced recurring maintenance, labor cost as to the cyclone repairs, and ash pipe and fitting replacement to meet the environmental regulations.
CTI IMPACT ELBOWSCTI-X7® OEM Replacement Cyclones
The choice of the preparation process is our CTI X7 heavy media cyclone circuit. We are now processing nominal 3" by 1/4" coarse flows; the flow impact and wear are very aggressive. We can design to your needs as to wear and separation performance.
We supply complete CTI X7® Ceramic HM Cyclone arrangements as well as all parts. We will pick up and evaluate your cyclone for full replacement or repair as needed. We guarantee the accuracy of parts fabricated within 1/16".
Since 1985, we have never failed to deliver equipment and meet our customers' performance expectations.
CTI-X7® Process Piping
CTI-X7® Coal and Mineral Ceramic Process piping is a versatile and cost-effective solution to pumping high volume solids on a 24 x 7 process schedule.
CTI can solve specific wear problems that large particles, dense medium processes create, by detailing carbon steel, schedule 40 pipe standard with ceramic.

CTI-X7® Suction & Pump Discharge
The CTI-X7® Sump to Pump intake suctions are designed to provide maximum cross-section flow to mineral process pumps, handling a full range of 3" to 1" particle size.
The pump intake flow is typically a schedule 40 pipe with a 1/2" tile liner with an optional 1" liner in the eccentric or concentric reducer.
We recommend blind flange arrangements over the mechanical seal option at the sump entry point, as it is more cost-effective and operational at 10+ years.
The CTI-X7® Pump to Pipe Adapter replaces the rubber expansion pump-to-pipe connection.
The CTI-X7® Pump to Pipe Adapter replaces the rubber expansion pump-to-pipe connection.
The ability to make a 45-degree discharge angle directly off pumps, pumping 3" sand-laden slurry, has been standard for years, with no pump adapters' failures
CTI-X7® Segmented Elbows
CTI-X7® remains a key designer and manufacturer for complete ceramic-lined piping systems, including ceramic-lined pipe elbows throughout the coal, power, and minerals industries.
Our systems include stainless steel carbon designs specific to handling large particulate flows, including processing pump suctions to complete large diameter heavy media lines to improve impact and blowout conditions.
We also design and build hydraulic/pneumatic transport for sands, base minerals, tailings, or bottom ash. The distinctive fitting designs incorporate flexibility, delivering a 20 to 1 extended life over steel and rubber-lined pipes
