Engineered PEEK Solutions for the Petrochemical Industry
In the petrochemical sector, equipment is constantly subjected to “the perfect storm” of high temperatures, extreme pressures, and corrosive chemical cocktails. Kriloha Gaskets delivers high-performance PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) product solutions designed to thrive where conventional elastomers and metals fail.
Our PEEK components act as the backbone of reliable sealing technology, ensuring operational safety and minimizing costly downtime in refineries and processing plants.
Petrochemical Applications
Kriloha Gaskets specializes in precision-engineered PEEK components for various upstream and downstream processes:
Valve Seats & Back-up Rings: Our PEEK valve seats provide bubble-tight sealing in ball valves and gate valves, even under extreme pressure differentials.
Pump Components: From wear rings to bushings, PEEK reduces energy consumption by allowing for tighter clearances without the risk of galling.
Compressor Components: High-fatigue resistance makes PEEK the material of choice for compressor valve plates and poppets in hydrogen or natural gas compression.
Instrumentation Sealing: Protecting sensitive sensors and probes from the corrosive effects of sour gas ($H_{2}S$) and CO2.
PEEK Advantage in Harsh Environments
PEEK is widely regarded as one of the highest-performing engineering thermoplastics in the world. For petrochemical applications, it offers a unique set of properties:
Broad Chemical Resistance: PEEK remains stable when exposed to a wide range of acids, bases, and hydrocarbons. Unlike many polymers, it resists High-Temperature Steam (HTS) and hydrolysis.
Mechanical Integrity at Scale: It maintains its shape and strength in temperatures exceeding 250°C, preventing the “creep” or deformation common in PTFE-based seals.
Wear & Abrasion Resistance: Ideal for abrasive slurry handling, PEEK’s low coefficient of friction and high wear resistance extend the lifespan of moving parts.
Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD) Resistance: PEEK’s structural rigidity makes it naturally resistant to explosive decompression, a critical safety factor in high-pressure gas processing.
