Flexitallic has been awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by JGC, Japan, for its significant contribution to the Petro Rabigh Olefin Plants Project.
JGC selected Flexitallic as its partner for the strength of its engineering and design team together with the versatile sealing properties of its Thermiculite material.
The Thermiculite 835 filler.
Petro Rabigh is a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical.
Based in Rabigh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Saudi Aramco will supply Petro Rabigh with crude oil, ethane and butane.
Sumitomo Chemical will provide petrochemical technology and the marketing of petrochemical products.
The Rabigh refinery and petrochemical complex has the high olefins fluid catalytic cracker complex as its centrepiece, integrated with a world scale ethane based cracker.
These petrochemical derivative units will produce a total of 2.4 million tonne/year of polyolefins.
Working together with JGC, Flexitallic supplied spiral wound gaskets filled with Thermiculite 835 filler for the fluid catalytic cracker.
Thermiculite enables the cracker to perform to its highest efficiency due to the ability of Thermiculite to maintain high sealing characteristics in the hostile operating environment.
Thermiculite materials operate in areas where graphite based products cannot cope due to graphite's poor resistance to oxidation.
Thermiculite does not oxidise and can seal for the lifetime of the joint.
