Floating roof seals: functions, types, and materials
Floating roof seals control vapors, reduce emissions and evaporation losses, improve operational safety, and maintain the mechanical stability of the roof.
Mechanical Integrity addresses the life cycle management and inspection of critical equipment to ensure the safe and reliable operation of energy and industrial infrastructure. The focus is on mitigating catastrophic failure risks through corrosion control, reliability monitoring, and the application of international codes and standards.
This field is vital for maintaining operational continuity and protecting lives. We analyze asset management strategies and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques applied in the US, Latin America, and Europe. Specialized knowledge in mechanical integrity turns risk into predictability.
