Refineries
Refineries and petrochemical plants are among the largest industrial facilities in the world – with hundreds to thousands of meters of piping through which liquid and gaseous media flow at high temperatures and pressures. The reliability of every single piping element is critical in this environment – any media leakage can have serious safety and environmental consequences.
KDMM supplies refineries and petrochemical plants with a comprehensive range of piping elements that meet the strictest requirements for tightness, durability, and long-term reliability.
Typical applications in refineries:
- Metal expansion joints in high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems
- Rubber expansion joints in cooling water, chemical, and process liquid distribution systems
- Fabric expansion joints in flue gas ducts of industrial furnaces and heaters
- LISEGA pipe hangers and supports for extensive pipe bridges and distribution systems
- Sliding bearings in horizontal piping systems subject to high thermal stress
- Snubbers and dynamic components at pumps, compressors, and fans
The diversity of media, pressures, and temperatures in refineries requires an individual approach to each application. KDMM therefore offers not only product supply, but also expert consultation and design of the optimal solution for specific operating conditions.
