Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has opened a dedicated climate-controlled swivel stack seal inspection facility for the validation of custom seals for floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) operators.
The facility, located in Barendrecht, in the Netherlands, provides a temperature-controlled environment to avoid fluctuations in the dimensions of the seals caused by temperature changes, with specialist storage racks allowing the seals to be acclimatized prior to inspection.
In addition, a custom inspection table has been installed, on which seals up to 3000mm can be measured with special lighting to aid visual inspection.
Furthermore, Trelleborg’s FPSO focus group, who are based on site, is made up of a team of experts trained to inspect the specialist seals.
