Fossil Power

Improved Efficiency and Reduced Operational Costs

With increasing demands and stringent environmental regulations, energy and operational costs are increasing in the fossil power industry. Whether coal fired, gas-fired or oil-burning power stations, equipment reliability plays a major role in increasing output, availability and efficiency. Choosing the right partner with industry experience and proven solutions to meet the growing demand for energy is imperative.

We operate in the fossil power industry so we understand your challenges

Solutions You Can Count On

Mechanical seals and packing for pumps and other rotating equipment

Fossil power plants often handle slurries composed of ash, coal, and other particulate matter mixed with water or other liquids. These slurries can be highly abrasive and corrosive, leading to challenges such as clogging, abrasion, and increased energy consumption. In a critical and continuous operational environment, selecting the right sealing technology is essential to reduce downtime and extend equipment life.
