FPSO & Marine - DeltaV-Seals ensure the safe and reliable operation of inert gas systems

A market-leading expert for the maritime industry manufactures a range of inert gas generators to suit their client's needs. Vessels carrying cargo-producing hydrocarbon vapors require inert gas generators to remove flammable and explosive atmospheres from their cargo tanks. Vessels carrying cargo producing hydrocarbon vapour require an inerting solution to eliminate the risk of explosions and fires in the cargo tanks. This can be achieved by keeping the oxygen content below 8%, a standard set by IMO. The Maritime Protection Inert Gas Generator (IGG) system is a combustion solution that creates inert gas containing oxygen less than 5%.

Frequently Asked Questions

The DeltaV-Seal is revolutionising static sealing, one gasket at a time. The gasket provides the tightness and durability of a metal-to-metal seal with the ease of application of a spiral wound, semi-metallic, or Kammprofile gasket. Want to know more, we've provided answers to our most frequently asked questions below:

Proposed European PFAS ban officially submitted – it’s potential impact on PTFE gaskets.

On the 13 January 2023, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway took the first formal step towards a European ban on polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by jointly submitting a restriction proposal to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). PTFE, (polytetrafluoroethylene), belongs to a subgroup of PFAS called fluorinated polymers.

Preventing nitrous gas leakage at a Thermowell instrument flange joint

On a Thermowell instrument coupling flange joint a previous semi-metallic gasket required maintenance intervention 7 times in three-and-a-half years. Switching from a semi-metallic gasket to the DeltaV-Seal prevents the emissions of NOx, protecting the environment and will saving the operator the cost of regular maintenance interventions.

Semi Conductor application for Nitrogen and Oxygen gas purifiers

One of the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers in South Korea required a carbon-free, bacteria and virus-tight gasket capable of withstanding temperatures up to 500°C. The DeltaV-Seal™ gaskets are now utilized within many operating systems, including tube-type heat exchangers for Nitrogen & Oxygen gas purification.

Reduce your VOC emissions with the DeltaV-Seal™

Globally there is a drive to consume less and emit fewer damaging chemicals into the atmosphere. Within the United States, businesses are being called to reduce fugitive emissions by at least 30% before 2030. There is a further global push for all countries to be net-zero emissions by 2050. The DeltaV-Seal™ has the potential to assist businesses in reducing their emissions and remaining compliant with their local laws meeting climate targets and improving their ESG Score Card value.
