Blog: Upgrading wet-running mechanical seals to dry-running systems for greater reliability

Discover more about how we support the chemical industry, and how our dry gas seal technology enables cleaner, safer and more efficient processing.

Blog: The right chemistry - Why choosing the right mechanical seal and support system is vital to risk management in ATEX environments

How can the mechanical seal and support system protect the atmosphere while mixing aggressive and flammable liquids and reducing risk in atmospheres explosible (ATEX) environments?

Blog: The role of biofuels and sustainable aviation fuels in clean energy

This stark outlook places the energy transition at the centre of climate strategy. A mix of technologies will be required to reduce emissions—especially in hard-to-abate sectors like transportation and energy-intensive industries. Renewable fuels such as biofuels and synthetic fuels offer practical, near-term solutions that support decarbonisation while enabling continued operation of existing infrastructure.

Blog: Engineering high-performance compression: centrifugal compressors and dry gas seals

For hundreds of years, energy and processing applications have been powered by compression equipment. Today, a growing shift toward sustainability is reshaping the industry, with a clear emphasis on decarbonisation, circularity and long-term environmental responsibility. And compressors will continue to play an integral role.

Blog: The role of hydrogen-ready gas turbines in low-carbon power generation

The global energy community seeks to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuel combustion by 2050. For the power generation industry, this is a challenging goal. According to the IEA's Electricity 2025 report, "Global electricity demand rose by 4.3% in 2024 and is forecast to continue to grow at close to 4% out to 2027. Over the next three years, electricity consumption is forecast to rise by an unprecedented 3,500 TWh."

Blog: Sustainable fuels, sealing solutions and unlocking progress in the energy transition

As the world shifts towards a sustainable energy future, the transition to renewable sources is more vital than ever. Fuels like biodiesel, biogas, methanol, ammonia and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) are crucial to achieving net zero emissions goals. It's possible for these fuels to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors, thereby minimising environmental impact.
