Our team incorporates seal engineering expertise, industry and process knowledge, and state-of-the-art analytical tools and testing to solve some of the most complex industry application challenges. These capabilities include:

Industrial Seal Design Modeling and Analysis

• 3-D design with powerful simulation and design validation capabilities for integrated customer design projects.
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure that the design and materials meet original specifications.
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to map out internal multi-phase fluid flow and optimization.

Systems and Equipment Analysis

Chesterton offers services that include equipment testing and redesign, root cause failure analysis, and corrective action recommendations to extend the life of mission-critical equipment.

Reliability Testing

Chesterton provides a world-class testing facility to support our customers’ equipment testing needs (rotary, stationary, fluid power, and industrial coatings).

• Extensive knowledge of industry-recognized standard testing for emissions and fluid control to ASTM, API, and ISO standards (for example: API 622, API 624, API 682, ISO 15848, and TaLuft)
• Testing capabilities with many hot/cold liquids, as well as helium, methane, and other gases
• On-site coating inspections including failure analysis with reporting and corrective action recommendations.
• Competitive benchmarking

Contract Engineering, Specification, and Standards Review Services

Chesterton provides subject-matter engineering resources to help and support our customers, regulatory bodies, and standards committees to review and/or develop new engineering standards and best industrial practices.

Environmental Regulatory Compliance Services

Companies around the globe are faced with ever-increasing environmental regulatory compliance pressures and restrictions. Many companies find it challenging to decipher, react, and comply to these growing requirements. Chesterton Environmental Regulatory Compliance Services provide the expertise, regulatory knowledge, and sustainable products to navigate these concerns cost-effectively and successfully.

Fugitive Emissions Compliance

Chesterton delivers a comprehensive approach for emissions compliance that includes regulatory insight, audits, application of best-available emissions control technology, warrantied performance, documentation, and testing with proprietary tools.

Energy Reduction Management

This program provides an intensive approach to reduce the energy consumption of plant equipment. Following local audits and analysis, we identify equipment with the highest potential for savings, recommend solutions, implement changes, and confirm results.

Water Reduction Management

Water usage can be the single largest variable that affects the unit cost of production, yet flush water and the cost impact specifically relating to its usage volume and the energy consumed in its management are often ignored and uncontrolled. Chesterton conducts flush water audits, identifies specific improvement opportunities, and develops a tailored action plan for water cost reduction down to the equipment level.

Equipment Wear Prevention, Protection, and Repair

Chesterton's ARC Industrial Coatings for metal and concrete surfaces help prevent the corrosion and erosion that can lead to leaks and other environmental and safety concerns. The ARC EPC team provides valuable advice for choosing the best coating for specific applications as well as recommendations for preparing surfaces, extending equipment life and/or avoiding costly replacement.
