New system from Celeros reduces emissions from pipelines

01 Sep 2023 CW Team

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.

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.

Cement Makers Positive on H2 Demand Outlook

The leading cement producers have posted high single-digit volume growth and better sales realisation in the July–September quarter, setting a positive tone for the second half of FY26. Companies are upbeat on demand prospects, supported by a strong housing sector and continued government spending on major infrastructure projects. UltraTech, Ambuja Cement, Shree Cement, Dalmia Bharat and Nuvoco Vistas recorded revenue growth of up to 18 per cent in the September quarter. The rise was driven by firm realisations, softer input costs and an increased share of premium products. With coal price..

Odisha Targets Role as MSME Hub for Eastern India

Odisha has set its sights on becoming the MSME gateway of eastern India, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi said at the Odisha Industrial Conclave 2025, organised by Laghu Udyog Bharati (LUB). Calling the state a land of possibilities, he noted that Odisha has emerged as a leading destination for micro, small and medium enterprises.He said that reforms such as the Go-Swift single-window system now allow project approvals within a day. Odisha has also invested 6.1 per cent of its GDP in infrastructure development, which is expected to further accelerate industrial and MSME growth.Majhi emphasise..

Coal Ministry Eases Process for Exploration and GR Approvals

The Ministry of Coal has introduced a simplified approval mechanism for exploration programmes and Geological Reports (GRs) for coal and lignite blocks. The reform aims to accelerate exploration activity, reduce procedural delays and strengthen India’s preparedness for rising energy demand.Under the revised process, reports prepared by Notified Accredited Prospecting Agencies (APAs) and peer-reviewed by another accredited agency no longer require approval from the committee set up in January 2022. This marks a major shift towards faster, more transparent and technology-driven exploration.By ..
