Gaskets for Ethylene Production
Traditional sealing solutions are inadequate for ethylene production.
The oxidising environment and thermal cycling, exacerbated by regular decoking sessions, create harsh operational conditions that put plant equipment under significant stress.
Tests and operational experience have shown that choosing the right sealing gaskets and materials can make the difference between joint failure and efficient production.
Flexitallic sealing solutions such as Thermiculite® and Change™ hold the potential to reduce the operating costs associated with maintenance downtime while achieving maximum plant safety.

As a seasoned Sealing Applications Engineer some of our most demanding sealing challenges often involve Aggressive chemicals. Coming up with the best solution can require an appreciation of not just the application conditions; temperature, pressure and media but the subtle interplay of all three with regard to the most appropriate gasket design.
