ETANNOR SEALS offers reliable sealing technology.

ETANNOR supplies perfectly designed dual mechanical seals for sealing different hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) concentrations in pumped media and high-end metal expansion joints for cracking facilities.

The decisive criterion here is maximum reliability and availability of the plant components involved. The system components must be able to run for long periods without interruptions. Steam cracking is dominated by extremely high temperatures and pressures. During the subsequent processes hazardous, aggressive and corrosive media must be controlled securely.

Pharmaceutical industry

This sector requires automated, reliable processes to guarantee a standard product that has not been altered during any of the production phases. Using elements that ensure perfect sealing during all the manufacturing phase steps is of vital importance.
The most appropriate mechanical seal design is a hygienic one, since it reduces the possibility of product remains being deposited and not eliminated during CIP/SIP processes, which could give rise to sources of contamination.

Mechanical seals with special features:
-Wave spring isolated from the product.
– Elastomer seals with an exclusive design to prevent the product from being deposited on the interior of the seal.
– With a special surface finish to prevent traces of product from adhering to the metal parts of the seal.
– Materials resistant to cleaning processes.
– Special fastening systems that require no screws.

Oil and gas industry

In oil and gas applications, reliability and safety are essential. To support the industry’s highly regulated, mission-critical operations, ETANNOR offers a wide range of innovative services and applied engineering solutions. Our experienced sales and engineering staff help select, design and apply sealing systems for even the most challenging conditions, and ETANNOR products meet the highest industry standards for containment of fugitive emissions.

Offshore platforms and onshore oil and gas extraction facilities often operate in remote locations where storage space is limited and application conditions are extreme. And because equipment failure can have dire consequences — jeopardizing costs, environmental safety and energy resources — these mission-critical operations require reliable engineered components that can withstand extreme temperatures, high pressures, corrosion and erosion over a long period of time. ETANNOR not only engineers products with proven long-term success under these conditions; we also offer a wide range of assistive services that help maximize application reliability.

Upstream, midstream, downstream: Sealing solutions for the entire process chain

Pumping, trans­port­ing, and pro­cess­ing: ETANNOR has sig­nif­i­cant ex­pe­ri­ence in all segments and offers advanced sealing systems and services to meet all tech­ni­cal, en­vi­ron­men­tal, and eco­nom­i­cal re­quire­ments.

Pulp and paper industry

In pulp and paper production, ETANNOR solutions are there for every step of the process. ETANNOR is a single resource for all pulp & paper needs The product portfolio at ETANNOR was built with a wide variety of configurations to support the varying needs of our customers. These needs go beyond the production requirements and involve environmental and safety standards as well. We understand the regulations you face and have engineered solutions to keep you from any environmental infractions that might come your way.

Refinery industry

From distillation, cracking, desalination through to coking, the sealing of toxic and flammable media with standardized and proven sealing technology is a central requirement in the refinery industry.

The application of sealing systems conforming to the latest API 682 standard is an essential condition. Etannor Supplies the full range of mechanical seals and supply systems for all categories and configurations as defined in API 682 4th edition. The comprehensive Etannor portfolio of sealing technology and services covers all the needs of refinery engineering.

Chemical industry

In the chemical industry, the usual processes require sealing elements for materials with high chemical resistance. In order to transfer very aggressive or corrosive chemical fluids that are clean or that contain particles and have high viscosities, along with high temperatures and pressures, the mechanical seal materials and the type of assembly must be correctly defined: single, double, external or based on other API plans. Furthermore, the applications require sealing systems that guarantee safety, preventing the leakage of corrosive or flammable products that could escape the atmosphere.

TYPE OF SEAL RECOMMENDED:
Bellows seal (PTFE)
Multi spring seal (double)
Bellows seal (PTFE)
Double cartridge seal, reservoirs and wave spring seal
Double cartridge seal, reservoirs, multi spring seal,
(external arrangement) and wave spring seal

Water industry

Water

We’re here to keep your operations flowing with high efficiency. And system designs. Our experts can provide you with an off-the-shelf solution, or build one that more perfectly fits your needs.

We have a unique understanding of the industry

We’ve been doing business in the water marketplace for decades, working closely with public utilities, private utilities, contractors, and consulting engineers. We understand the unique needs of each of our constituents, and provide them with the best possible solutions for their challenges.

Food and Beverages Industry

The food sector has extremely strict regulations regarding the safety of its processes. For this reason, contamination, whether in the finished product or the water used for the different parts of the process, generates a stoppage in the production lines. It is important to use products made of materials that are chemically resistant (CIP or SIP processes) and which also comply with the different food sector regulations: FDA, CE 1935, NSF, etc.

In the canning sector, and especially in the canning of tomatoes, different types of mechanical seals are used in all the process phases, from grinding operations to hot break, sifting, evaporation and pasteurization operations. It is common to find large double mechanical multi spring seals, conical spring seals or wave spring seals that guarantee perfect sealing of fluids with a high particle content.

Power generation industry

Power generation plants vary greatly across the industry, from those fueled by coal or natural gas to those powered by nuclear, hydroelectric or geothermal energy. But though they operate differently, they still share a common goal: to meet the growing demand for energy in a responsible, efficient way. ETANNOR depth and breadth of applied engineering expertise, product innovation and reliability services help plants of all types increase uptime, reduce emissions and improve efficiency to achieve all of their goals.

Maritime sector

Pumps installed on ships must be extremely reliable and durable. The use of different machines, such as cooling pumps, firefighting pumps or boiler supply pumps, means that the types of mechanical seals used in this industry are quite diverse.

1. Cooling machinery.
2. Firefighting systems.
3. Feeding boilers.
4. Pumping ballast water.
