<strong>Sealing</strong> technology:<br />

A key component in <strong>the</strong> operation of industrial plants.<br />

Reliably safe<br />

<strong>and</strong> very economical<br />

No industrial production plant can be operated without<br />

seals. The number of sealing locations <strong>and</strong> media to be<br />

controlled is correspondingly large. So <strong>the</strong>re are quite<br />

a number of plant components that need to be sealed:<br />

rotating equipment, such as pumps, agitators <strong>and</strong><br />

compressors; fittings <strong>and</strong> flanges, not to mention pipes<br />

<strong>and</strong> ducts carrying <strong>gas</strong>es <strong>and</strong> liquids.<br />

The reliability of <strong>the</strong> entire plant depends on many<br />

individual parts. The seals, as key components, play an<br />

important role. They protect systems <strong>and</strong> components<br />

from external influences <strong>and</strong> contamination as well<br />

as help prevent emissions. They thus increase process<br />

safety, availability <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> economic viability of <strong>the</strong><br />

plant.<br />

<strong>Sealing</strong> technology also often offers considerable<br />

potential <strong>for</strong> reducing costs – through processorientated<br />

design <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ardization, <strong>for</strong> example.<br />

The right product portfolio <strong>and</strong> knowledge of <strong>the</strong><br />

processes <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ards used allows <strong>EagleBurgmann</strong><br />

to implement solutions that are not only technically<br />

safe <strong>and</strong> reliable, but economically first­rate as well.
