Operational reliability is a key to the green transition

The energy sector is investing heavily in new infrastructure and green technologies.

But high uptime and reliable operation still depend on many small components that rarely receive the much-needed attention. If they fail, it is of crucial importance.

Packaging and seals play a crucial role

The green transition is placing ever greater demands on the operational reliability of Denmark’s energy and process facilities. Whether it be refineries, biogas plants, gas infrastructure, district heating or wind energy, even minor leaks can lead to production stops, increased costs and unnecessary emissions. “Seals and gaskets are perhaps small and inconspicuous components, but they are of great importance for the safety, uptime and lifetime economics of the systems,” says Bjarne Feddersen, Technical Sales Engineer at Betech.

In-house production and epic packaging ready to go on the shelf

Betech has been supplying products to the industry for more than 100 years and is a specialist in sealing solutions. Material selection and design are crucial, and the company advises customers across the energy sector and many other technical industries on both static and dynamic seals.

Temperature, pressure, process media and other operating conditions place different requirements on the solution, and therefore technical advice becomes an increasingly important part of the projects.

By far the majority of industrial packaging is manufactured according to drawings at Betech's own factory. And as Allied Distributor for Flexitallic Some of the market’s most recognized flange seals are offered for demanding process plants and systems. Among them is the legendary SWG seal, Spiral Wound Gasket, which is available in all common flange sizes for quick delivery directly from the Bramming warehouse.

Specialist knowledge of sealing technology

The solutions from Betech are used, among others, at the Kalundborg Refinery, Total Energies, Gas Storage Denmark, Makeen Energy, Evida, Grøn Gas, Haldor Topsoe, and wind turbine manufacturers such as Vestas and Siemens Gamesa.

“As energy systems become more complex, customers are not only looking for products but also for a partner with specialist knowledge. The right sealing solution can help reduce maintenance, improve operational reliability and ensure a stable energy supply.”

Bjarne Feddersen, Technical Sales Engineer, is a specialist in mechanical shaft seals and high-performance flange seals for demanding industrial applications. He advises on material selection, optimization, and proper assembly with a focus on operational reliability and long life.
