Reduce environmental impact

Do you want to reduce the footprint your operations leave on the environment?

You’re not alone. Over recent years there has been a sea change in the number of chemical plant and refinery operators who are making business changes to reduce their environmental impact. Compliance with more rigid environmental regulations across the industrial world is unsurprisingly a key factor.

Precision Polymer Engineering is helping operators understand the importance of using the right sealing systems, and the benefits of opting for custom-engineered solutions over off-the-shelf answers, when it comes to reducing environmental impact. A seal which is optimised for its application will keep that application running smoothly and cost-effectively with minimal downtime, while significantly reducing fugitive emissions.

Fugitive Emissions Control (FEC)

Fugitive emissions are gases, vapors or fine particles accidentally released into the atmosphere. Most fugitive emissions come from industrial activities and contribute to climate change and air pollution. Methane, refrigerant CFCs and ethylene oxide are known to be particularly damaging to the environment and human health.

Fugitive Emission Control (FEC) is a strength of Precision Polymer Engineering. All our FEC products conform to TA Luft legislature, and with our elastomer sealing solutions for valves, pumps and compressors, offering superior performance to that of braided packing, we have helped companies across the world take a cleaner, greener approach.
