CTS
RIM SEALS
Product Info:
CTS seals offer an optimal solution for reduction of emission in the area between an external floating roof and the tank shell. Every tank is different and operating conditions vary significantly. Local requirements on emission reduction also play a major role and finally tank seals play a key role in prevention of rim fires and can therefore be regarded as safety critical equipment.
Within this challenging playing field of legislation, technical and safety requirements CTS has a proven track record in supplying the optimal sealing solution. The range of seals we provide combines efficient design with optimum sealing throughout the complete rim gap.
Standards and safety
CTS tank seals comply with all international standards such as API, EN, BREF IPPC, EPA, ATEX and NFPA as well as with specific requirements such as EEMUA, PGS 29 and VLAREM.
Engineering
During the engineering phase our team of engineers will review local emission requirements, safety aspects and tank geometry to tailor the seal to each specific tank. All other important properties, such as material selection are taken into consideration for optimal performance of the seal. This ensures a long term maintenance free service life. Seal materials have to withstand the stored product as well as the elements for longer periods of time. Our solutions will be suitable for dealing with these specific conditions. Completely in line with the sustainability vision all emission requirements will play a major role in the decisions we make during design.
Complete solution
We offer a complete package from engineering to commissioning. We will provide an installed seal, experienced supervision or supply installation drawings, installation manual and advice for local crews to install the seal.
