Industries
Food & Beverage
Whether the process media is water, steam, chemicals or raw and processed ingredients, the food and beverage processing sector naturally has some of the most stringent regulations when it comes to maintaining sanitary industrial conditions and standards of hygiene, and rightly so.
A lapse in pipeline integrity causing leakages or contamination to the processed product can have disastrous economic and reputational consequences or in extreme cases, harm to, or loss of life. Use of DeltaV-Seal™ technology within these food and beverage processes can mitigate or even eliminate these risks entirely as well as reducing secondary costs associated with ongoing pipeline maintenance.
Use cases
Local regulation of a biogas plant in Western Europe required ATEX zoning. Utilizing several technical standards including EN1127, EN1591, and Pipeotech's extensive library of product testing, it has been possible to reduce the ATEX zoning around the bolted flange joints from ATEX zone 1, to ATEX zone 2 using the DeltaV-Seal flange gasket.
In facilities that use hot oil heat transfer fluid systems, fire hazards are a significant challenge due to the combination of organic combustible liquids, which run at temperatures above their flash point, making them volatile, and failing gaskets in the system. Many industrial fires and plant explosions can be traced back to the integrity of heat oil transfer fluid systems, where seals in disrepair are a significant source of preventable leakages.
With the title of ‘the oldest brewery in Norway’, the Aass brewery is about as close as it gets to being a Norwegian institution. Situated on the banks of the river in the busy port city of Drammen in central Norway, this family-run enterprise has been producing a wide range of beers, ciders, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages for the Norwegian domestic market for over 180 years. Now in its 5th generation of Aass family ownership, the Aass brewery has matured into a highly modern facility, considered to be one of the key players amongst domestic Norwegian Beer producers.
