NILOS-Ring “Type LSTO” steel-disk seals provide protection for grease-lubricated bearings exposed to extreme levels of contamination. They satisfy key performance requirements by minimizing bearing friction losses and heat build-up, and by preventing lubricant leakage and penetration of dirt. The non-contact, grease-filled labyrinth sealing elements consist of laminated steel-seal disks and steel cores. The seals resist axial pressure and will not slip when clamped in the axial direction of both the inner and outer periphery of a roller-bearing ring.

The patent-pending HYDRA-JUST Sealing System replaces mechanical seals in virtually any industrial pumping application; it’s especially suited to hostile, abrasive environments and eliminates the risk of catastrophic failure. The HYDRA-JUST is more robust than mechanical seals, and it handles system upsets with ease. It also gives users an indication when it starts to fail, so they can keep the system going until it’s convenient for them to change the seal.

The GORE Universal Pipe Gaskets enable maintenance engineers to standardize their gasket applications across steel, glass-lined steel and FRP systems wherever a non-metallic gasket can be used. Unaffected by even the most aggressive chemicals, these gaskets provide exceptional performance in three important areas: seal reliability; conforming to irregular surfaces; and protecting flanges. They are engineered to deliver superior bolt-load retention, and achieve superior creep resistance for reliable sealing of steel piping flanges.

GasDry Max is an absorbent deliquescent desiccant supplied in hygroscopic tablet form. It extracts water vapor from untreated gas streams to dehydrate pressurized hydro-carbon gases such as natural gas. This product does not require sophisticated equipment; a gas dryer using GasDry Max has no moving parts, requires no power, and produces no emissions.

Via an SD card, the 750-880 Ethernet 2.0 Programmable Fieldbus Controller (PFC) transfers device parameters, boot files, and other types of files between controllers. This expedites large-scale programming while increasing data-logging capabilities. It has 1 MB of data memory and an SD port for up to 8 GB of additional memory. The device provides high-frequency processing — up to 1,000 instructions within 235 nanoseconds. The PFC relies on an industry-approved TCP/IP stack and an IEC 61131-3 compatible environment.

This company will be displaying a range of underwater connector technologies that are available for various oil and gas applications. These include electrical, optical, and hybrid connector assemblies, submersible switches, and cable systems. The products are designed to withstand the harsh conditions found in onshore, offshore, and deep-water exploration, drilling, and production applications.

To enhance surface properties and provide better corrosion and erosion resistance, a hot-wire, laser-cladding service deposits a layer of material onto a substrate. This process metallurgically bonds the deposit to the substrate, and reduces the heat-affected zone within the substrate material. Deposits can be applied to most solid and cored types of metal wire. This service is repeatable and produces a minimal amount of wasted filler material.

Offshore field-development, drilling, and transport are among the applications served by this company’s products and services. Offerings include oil- and gas-handling systems, regasification systems, emissions control systems, and pumping products. The company also manufactures floating production, storage, and offloading facilities (FPSOs), floating storage and offloading units (FSOs), fixed and floating production platforms, piping and crane vessels, seismic vessels, drill ships, production test ships, semi-submersible rigs, jack-up rigs, shuttle tankers, and intervention vessels.

Process Insight is a consultancy focused on analyzing oil and gas behavior during production, seawater injection, wastewater treatment, and produced-water injection. Real-time data generated from online and field-portable tools allow operators to react quickly to process upsets, changing well conditions, production chemistry effects, and equipment malfunctions. Analysis of process fluid samples allows rapid assessment of changes in dosing regime or chemical type, and quicker process optimization.

A thermal spray coating service helps to extend the life of moving equipment. The coatings metallurgically bond to a substrate, and can be applied in any sliding or abrasive wear application where maximum bond strength is required. For instance, the application of fused nickel-based coatings on pump plungers that pressurize fracking fluid increases the efficiency of shale gas production. Carbide-based coatings may be applied to the sliding surfaces in gate valves for wear and corrosion resistance.
