Successful year 2022

The year 2022, with its volume of orders and financial results, joined the series of successful years. In a time of unstable material and service prices, it was not easy, but the actual achieved results ultimately exceeded our expectations. This was made possible by the exceptional performance of our employees, as well as the efforts and cooperation of our suppliers, along with the ongoing support and trust of our customers. In terms of project volumes and revenues realized in the evaluated year 2022, projects in the energy and heating segments predominated once again.

We are specialists in energetics and heating engineering segment, but we are expanding our share of orders from other segments

During the year 2021, we have acquired and successfully completed major projects in the field of general repairs of boiler linings in power and heating plants, confirming our expertise as true specialists in this segment. However, our scope of projects extends beyond the energy sector. Throughout 2021, we have also undertaken assignments in other segments, such as the processing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, where we have provided high-quality linings for a range of furnaces. We are pleased to note a revival in the demand for furnaces with fiber linings, following a previous downturn.

The management highly appreciates the extraordinary performance of the company's employees

The volumes of completed orders in 2021 were exceptional, as were the financial results. The company would not have achieved such results without the outstanding performance of its employees, to whom the management expressed gratitude at the end of the year

Transition to the calendar year, a shorter financial period of 2021

DITHERM a.s. has transitioned from a financial year starting on May 1st and ending on April 30th to a regular calendar year accounting period. This change has been made to align with the adopted period across the entire L.T.T. Group of companies. As a result, the financial year that began on May 1st, 2021, ended on December 31st, 2021, and was shorter (spanning only 8 months) due to the transition to the calendar year period.

04 2021

We look towards the future, innovating refractory materials

A team of material experts composed of both DITHERM employees and external specialists has developed an innovative refractory concrete with high resistance to high temperatures and chemical environments in regenerative boilers. The properties of the innovative concretes have been verified in several applications, and the results are excellent.

How CO (carbon monoxide) resistant are the linings?

For units that are used to the last moment of full functionality of the internal protective lining, we recommend thoroughly monitoring the amount of carbon monoxide, which is often underestimated.

07 2019

Bursting – cracking, tearing, and chipping of the lining

Every technician managing a unit knows the phenomena listed below, which have a significant effect on the functionality of the internal lining of the unit. We decided to describe them professionally, and thereby point out their pitfalls for the operation of the unit.
