With years of extensive experience in sealing technology, we have demonstrated our knowledge and ability to innovate in numerous projects all around the world. Discover the exciting challenges we have faced and how we have overcome them.
The reliability of centrifugal compressors in gas grids are of the highest social and economic importance for network operators. Compressor performance and availability are closely related to the effectiveness of sophisticated compressor shaft sealing technology. Here, EagleBurgmann developed a new sealing concept which ensures better compressor availability: the coaxial separation seal CobaSeal.
They are often overlooked but play a crucial role when it comes to sustainability: modern and complex sealing solutions. Digital technologies now enable remote monitoring, helping to increase their service life and therefore reduce their ecological footprint.
The Etzel oil and gas cavern system is situated southwest of Wilhelmshaven, not far from the North Sea coast. A vast salt dome houses the more than 70 caverns which store crude oil and natural gas at depths between 900 and 1,700 meters. Etzel is integrated in the northwest European oil and gas pipeline network and makes a significant contribution to the safe and reliable supply of gas to Germany and all of Europe.
Mechanical seals are not always the best choice. In roller dryers used in the production of pharmaceutical powder, abrupt shaft deflections during processing led to increased seal wear. Operation was maintenance-intensive and prone to faults.
A boiler circulation pump in a power plant conveys very hot and pressurized water. The pump has no cooling jacket, which increases the risk of a thermosiphon effect.
The new zero-emission mechanical seal from EagleBurgmann prevents the emission of the greenhouse gas methane during natural gas extraction, transport and processing.
