Bespoke gasket solution for waste plastic synthesis to kerosene
Recycling plastic into hydrocarbons requires extreme pressures and temperatures, challenging the performance of traditional gaskets. Before contacting Pipeotech, the university had been utilizing Kammprofile gaskets which consistently failed at around 80 Bar G pressure during trial operations. Ensuring a reliable seal was essential to confirm proof of concept, and this was made possible with Pipeotech’s engineering expertise and the DeltaV-Seal™ flange gasket.
Pipeotech's engineering team conducted extensive software analysis for the proposed concept of the DeltaV-Seal™ to perform in extreme temperature and pressure conditions where the traditional Kammprofile gaskets had previously failed. After installation of the DeltaV-Seal™ the University were able to complete the test with a reliable seal and provide proof of concept for their new process.
