My initial thoughts would be to try and contact a specialist with some local knowledge of the available materials. I know there is a large refractory industry in South Africa. Attached link to the Dickinson Group who are experienced in producing refractory products. They are based in South Africa and familiar with East/West Africa with offices in Mozambique and Tanzania. If we are talking about somewhere in Africa then I think it would be best to approach someone like this as they would have the best knowledge of what could realistically be achieved with local or most closely available materials.

They may not be able to help directly but there is a good chance they will have a technical person or know someone else who has some local knowledge who could offer some sensible advice.

Hope this is of some use. In the meantime if you get any more information please pass it on and we will have a look.

Regards

L.Kotrys.
