Imagine a future where in extreme environments it is possible to model and simulate a gaskets performance and know the lifetime of a bolted flange joint, sealed with a DeltaV-Seal. Pipeotech's Engineering and Technical team have been working to make the modelling and simulation of a gasket a possibility. Being able to simulate the performance of a bolted flange joint, and provide a defined lifetime has huge financial benefit to industry, maximising the time between turnarounds, extracting maximum value from their assets.

Ensuring the DeltaV-Seal™ gasket provides gas tight performance even when operating at temperatures as high as 880 °C (1616 °F).

Pipeotech was pleased to attend the October 2022 Ammonium Nitrate Nitric Acid (ANNA) Conference in Houston, TX, USA during which Pipeotech CTO Jan Oredsson presented a technical paper on the tightness and durability of the DeltaV-Seal gasket when utilized within Ammonium Nitrate and Nitric Acid piping.

Imperfections on flange faces happen. With more and more companies adopting low emissions business practices, can damaged flange surfaces provide a suitable seal to meet environmental compliance? 

The Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control (TA-Luft), which have been revised in 2021, are a comprehensive instrument for German authorities to control air pollution.

The need to optimize fertilizer plant operations, driven by a range of external and internal influences, means that plant operators must be confident that all equipment is both reliable and high performing.
