FCCU EXPANSION JOINTS

Expansion Joints installed in Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCU) are exposed to very the demanding operating paramaters such as:

  • Highly aggressive and abrasive media
  • Extremely high temperatures
  • High pressure
  • Large movements

While being resistant to those operating parameters and at the same time flexible to absorb movements as well as ensure safe and smooth operation. Consequently, the FCCU Expansion Joints utilised in this application are the most technically advanced among all the existing Expansion Joint types. Therefore it is essential that the Expansion Joints is correctly and specifically engineered to the application. During the last decades Belman has enhanced its reputation as an experienced and innovative designer and manufacturer of high-end Expansion Joints and also high-end FCCU Expansion Joints. The design and manufacturing of FCCU Expansion Joints requires great expertise and capabilities. Only a handful of manufacturers on a worldwide scale is having the expertise to produce FCCU Expansion Joints, and being highly specialised in high end customised solutions Belman has joined this exclusive group.
