Ethylene, paint, plastics, fertilizer...

Varied as they are, the requirements in the handling and processing of petrochemicals, basic chemicals, fine chemicals and inorganic chemicals nevertheless have one thing in common: top priority always goes to operational safety and environmental protection.

Besides this, economic aspects too are playing an increasingly important role, especially given intensifying competition at the global level. Against this background, the sealing systems used in applications involving what are in many cases explosive, toxic or aggressive media have to ensure optimum tightness.

On the other hand they should also help optimize processes and thus be of advantage where the economic aspects are concerned as well. From non-critical sealing points – for which standard solutions are deployed – right through to highly complex system solutions required where particularly difficult operating conditions are concerned: EagleBurgmann can be relied upon to come up with precisely the right sealing system for virtually all chemical processes. We have, after all, been a highly valued partner to the chemical industry since as far back as 1884 when Feodor Burgmann first provided compression packings to the chemicals industry.
