Refining & Petrochemicals

Precision rotating equipment, sealing and combustion for process plants

Overview

Refineries and petrochemical complexes run pumps, compressors, fans and process equipment continuously, often in hazardous and corrosive service. Reliability and certified quality are safety issues, not just uptime issues. SES supplies precision bearings, seals and drives into these plants and manufactures combustion systems and valves where process equipment must be built or upgraded to specification.

Equipment challenges

What this sector demands from components.

Continuous Critical Service

Pumps and compressors run for years between turnarounds; a bearing or seal failure can force an unplanned, expensive shutdown.

Corrosive and Hazardous Media

Process fluids and gases demand correct sealing, materials and certified components rated for the duty.

Combustion Efficiency & Emissions

Fired heaters and burners must run efficiently and within emission limits — combustion system design is a specialist task.

Why it matters in refining & petrochemicals

In hazardous process service, a substandard bearing, seal or valve is a safety exposure as much as a downtime risk. Certified components and specification-built combustion and valve equipment are the only defensible choice.
