Invitation to Attend

We are honored to invite you to actively support and participate in the 1st Middle East Advanced Refractory Materials Technical Exchange and Exhibition, scheduled for February 2026 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The conference theme for this edition is: “Engineered to Endure: Refractory Innovations for High-performance Industries.” In the oil and gas industry, refractory materials serve as the silent workhorses of high-temperature operations—from refining and catalytic cracking to LNG processing and petrochemical manufacturing. Despite their critical role, there remains a noticeable gap in MENAspecific dialogue surrounding refractory specifications, failure analysis and lifecycle costing—an opportunity that must not be overlooked

This two-day technical symposium and exhibition aims to spotlight the indispensable role of refractory technologies in enhancing performance, safety and reliability across operations. With a strong emphasis on innovation, lifecycle extension and advanced inspection technologies, the event will feature practical case studies, expert insights into material selection, failure mitigation and refurbishment strategies along with a focused exhibition area for hands-on solution demonstrations.

It will also highlight the commercial and operational needs for such a platform-especially in light of recurring failures, unplanned incidents, H2S-related risks and the growing demand for on-the-spot solutions with high reliability with particular emphasis on:

We look forward to welcoming you as speakers, sponsors, exhibitors or contributing delegates, helping make this event a truly valuable knowledge sharing and networking platform for the region’s energy and process industries.

Regards,

Ambreen Sheikh

Why The Middle East?

Why Now?

The Middle East is undergoing rapid industrial transformation, driven by major energy, petrochemical
and infrastructure projects under national visions like Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. As operations scale and diversify, the demand for high-performance refractory materials has never been greater. From oil and gas to heavy industries, the region faces growing challenges around asset reliability,thermal protection and lifecycle efficiency in extreme environments.


Despite their critical role, refractory technologies have often been overlooked in regional technical discourse. Now is the time to address this gap—by bringing together global expertise, fostering local
capabilities. With recurring equipment failures, rising energy demands and the need for sustainable,cost-effective solutions, the Middle East stands to redefine how refractory systems are selected,maintained and optimized for long-term performance.

Industrial Growth: Major expansion in oil, gas, petrochemicals and heavy industries is driving demand for advanced refractory solutions

Vision 2030 Initiatives: National development goals are
accelerating the need for high-reliability infrastructure and
operational excellence.

Recurring Failures: Frequent unplanned shutdowns
and refractory-related incidents highlight the urgent need
for improved material performance and monitoring.

Lack of Regional Dialogue: There’s a noticeable gap
in MENA-specific platforms dedicated to refractory
innovation, standards and lifecycle management.

Push for Sustainability: Increasing focus on circular
economy and efficient resource use calls for modern,
durable refractory systems.

Technology Adoption: The region is primed to integrate
digital tools, predictive maintenance and smart inspection
methods into refractory management.
