eFlexgen: Unique expansion joint solution for emission reduction
Emission-intensive industries in particular must strive to significantly reduce their emissions in view of the Paris Agreement and EU Green Deal.
At EagleBurgmann, we recognise the importance of their contribution and are implementing the necessary strategies.
High performance. Low emissions.
The conventional EagleBurgmann Flexgen design is typically used where hot & dry flue gas needs to be treated. A typical power generation application with a 3m diameter Flexgen and constant flue gas flow will emit approximately 4 tonnes of flue gas per year. This is approximately equivalent to the annual emissions of a medium sized car. Flue gas is emitted mainly at the bolted joints and the metal frame.
With the new eFlexgen, EagleBurgmann has developed a unique expansion joint solution that contributes directly to the net-zero goal.
And Beyond Emission Reduction enhanced robustness and performance:
- Double sealing layers – Improved safety by new high temperature sealing layer
- Longer lifetime of the expansion joint via reduced heat impact on materials
- Energy savings – increased leak tightness reduces heat loss
- Improved leak tightness prevents particles / contaminants entering process
Re-thinking the future – NEW eFlexgen - Design
Technical Specification - Flexgen 2005 and eFlexgen
eFlexgen/Flexgen expansion joints safely absorb thermal expansion and misalignments of pipe and duct systems in dry and medium temperature area. eFlexgen/Flexgen products compensate for movements in multiple directions simultaneously.
Our certifications:
- Long-standing member of European Sealing Association ESA
- Certificates: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, OHSAS 18001
Main features
The main features of our new eFlexgen include a multi-layer design that can withstand temperatures up to 575° C, the ability to compensate for movements in all directions, and suitability for dry conditions. It can be delivered either as fabric only or as a preassembled unit. Additionally, it can be custom-made to fit the specific working conditions you have.
Applications
The applications of this product are quite versatile. It can be used in various scenarios such as flue gas duct systems, boiler inlets and outlets, penetration seals, process lines, and stack connections. Its mulit-layer desing and ability to compensate for movements make it suitable for these different applications. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, we are happy to provide more information feel free to ask!
Zero emission - Products for Lower Footprint
EagleBurgmann is investing in a "zero emission" campaign with a series of seals that permit no or only very low emissions. In the segment of mechanical seals, there are already several seal types with these features in place. With the construction of the eFlexgen, the first expansion joint also joins this series.
CobaDGS: Zero Emission compressor DGS
CobaSeal: Best in class separation seal with lowest N2 consumption
RoTechBooster: Seal gas booster for compressors to avoid venting during turning and stant-still mode
eMAK: The new standard of best-in-class energy-efficiency for magnetic couplings
Rotary Kiln Sealing System DRO: Lowest emission issuing system in the market
eFlexgen: Innovation in material and design for lowest fugitive emissions
