Fresh water, process water, effluent...

Water is the most frequently conveyed – and thus most frequently sealed – medium. Corresponding seal solutions are in demand in virtually all sectors of industry, in municipalities, and in the spheres of building services technology, fire protection, fire fighting technology, marine engineering and geothermal energy. The areas in which specific applications are called for range from the supply and treatment of water and the desalination of seawater right through to thermal energy supply, swimming-pool and waste-water technology. The various types of water involved – fresh, pure, process, hot and waste, for example – place differing requirements on sealing technology.

While standard seals are in many cases adequate for applications involving the supply of fresh water or conveyance of waste water, special engineering solutions are a necessity where heavy-duty applications in the spheres of drinking water supply or seawater desalination plants are concerned. On the other hand, thermal energy provision requires individual account to be taken of parameters such as pressure, temperature, sliding velocity, friction, water quality and additives. Their high quality ensures that EagleBurgmann seals significantly boost the availability of pumps in all types of water-related applications.
