Fighting Energy Losses & Maintenance Costs

In a climate of intense economic pressure, more and more companies are examining ways of conserving energy and reducing maintenance costs. Apart from insulation methods and materials one of the critical areas being studied is heat and service medium losses through leaking valve glands. In process industries for example, the cost of lost heat and service mediums can not only be enormous but failure to rectify the problem could incur further financial penalties through damage to buildings, fittings etc, in addition to creating a possible danger to operating staff and pollution of the atmosphere.
