Fuel, lubricants, bitumen...

The continuous, complex and multistage process for transforming crude oil into basic or high-grade end products faces the world of sealing technology with particular challenges: volatile media constituents and low process media boiling points boost the risk of defective lubrication, dry running and release of VOC fugitive emissions, for example. The varying physical characteristics of the media – from liquid gas right through to bitumen – as well as extremely high and low temperature ranges necessitate a wide spectrum of designs, configurations and materials.

And, last but not least: particular account of health-endangering, environmentally harmful and explosive materials has to be taken when designing and configuring seals. With a comprehensive range of API-compliant quality seals, supply systems and leading edge fugitive emission packings and gaskets.
