EagleBurgmann Equips First Pipeline With New Smart Seal Solution For Digital Condition Monitoring

The current geopolitical developments are leading to a massive strain on the global energy supply. Despite political efforts to transition to renewable energy, 80% of global energy consumption is still generated from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas.

Hence, a functioning and reliable infrastructure for the transportation of primary energy sources is still of major importance. The main premises are maximizing the availability of oil and gas pipelines and minimizing their downtimes. For decades, EagleBurgmann has been a partner of the oil and gas industry and contributes to the reliability of the transportation process by providing innovative sealing solutions.

Streamlining Planned Maintenance Outage

Planned outages are a vital part of pre-empting unforeseen equipment failure that can result in reduced output or even a full shutdown. However, while planned outages are a routine task, potential process improvements in this area can easily be overlooked. Over time, this can evolve into a significant problem given that unplanned downtime in sectors like power generation can cost businesses millions of pounds, even over a comparatively short period.

In this article Tom Slaughter, Global Aftermarket Programme Director at IMI Critical Engineering, explains how critical plant equipment manufacturers are best placed to assist in streamlining scheduled maintenance in today’s combined cycle facilities.
