New system from Celeros reduces emissions from pipelines

Celeros Flow Technology has launched an innovative sealing system – the CFT-Green Valve Packing System – which reduces fugitive emissions across pipelines and provides a safe and efficient sealing solution for valves. Engineers in the oil and gas, chemical, and power generation industries can now increase safety across their facilities and pipeline networks.

Fugitive emissions occur when a valve leaks and gases or liquids are released into the surrounding environment. It is critical to protect against fugitive emissions because they could have devastating consequences on the environment through the release of harmful pollutants, as well as posing a health and safety risk to people from the risk of explosion. Additionally, they could potentially cost an operator millions in lost product, fines and clean-up operations.

The novel CFT-Green Valve Packing System is based on a unique stem spring-loaded seal mechanism that provides superior performance and offers outstanding reliability with minimal maintenance. As a result, the solution enables users to minimise emissions, and thus reduce the risk of environmental damage while improving safety.

Traditionally, stationary loading packing seal solutions have been used to control fugitive emissions, but this type of packing gradually wears and fatigues, requiring regular adjustment. However, CFT-Green needs no packing tightness intervention during the seal’s lifetime.

The spring in CFT-Green exerts constant and reliable pressure on the sealing element, ensuring a tight and robust seal even under extreme conditions, and the force from the spring helps to maintain the correct levels of compression throughout the seal’s long lifetime. This is a vast improvement compared with conventional packing, which suffers from loss of torque over time, resulting in process fluid leakage.

This next-generation spring seal provides exceptional reliability over a long lifetime, as the packing materials have been carefully selected for their resistance to high temperatures and pressures as well as their ability to withstand harsh environments and corrosive fluids. A key advantage of the CFT-Green valve stem spring-loaded seals is their ability to accommodate slight misalignments or deformations in the valve stem or the valve body. This can help to prevent leaks and further reduce the need for frequent maintenance or repair of the valve, ultimately improving uptime.

Not Just Glass Boxes!

India is moving away from the ‘glass box’ syndrome, all-glass façades that were widely used in commercial buildings in the last two decades but came at a significant environmental cost given the country’s predominantly hot and humid climate. Poor thermal performance, excessive heat gain and dependency on mechanical cooling systems made buildings with glass façades energy guzzlers and significantly increased their carbon footprint.That said, it’s important to be aware that “glass is not the enemy,” points out Heena Bhargava, Architect, Architecture Discipline. “How it is used ma..
