Case Studies

Sector: Energy Services Background An international energy and services company at the centre of the UK energy industry required a high-performance axial expansion joint for the heat recovery system of one of their Combined Heat and Power (CHP) stations.  Challenge The expansion joint needed to:  Solution Teconnex Bellows provided a bespoke single axial bellow to meet these specifications: Technical Data...

Sector: Power Generation Background Teconnex Bellows was commissioned to supply 358 pipe penetration seals for a large-scale power generation project in Canada.  This project uses Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) designed to generate steam from the flue gas of a combustion turbine. Each HSRG has three pressure levels and a reheat section, with a horizontal gas path and natural circulation...

Sector: Chemical Manufacturing Background A major Ammonium Nitrate plant in New South Wales, Australia, needed specialised expansion joints for its complex piping system. The plan operates under corrosive conditions and demanding operating cycles, so every component must be extremely strong and durable.  Challenge The main challenge was to design expansion joints that could:  Solution We delivered a tailored solution that...

Sector: Oil & Gas Equipment Manufacturing Background Our client, a leading heat exchanger manufacturer based in the Netherlands, needed a durable and efficient solution for one of their high-performance systems. Their equipment often runs under high pressure and fluctuating temperatures, which puts stress on key components. Therefore, they required a highly reliable expansion joint to ensure performance and safety.  Challenge...

Sector: Chemical Manufacturing Background Ammonia production involves high temperatures and pressures. To stay profitable, global products must improve energy efficiency wherever possible.  One of the world’s largest heat exchange manufacturers asked us to recommend expansion joints for a new system at an ammonia plant in Indonesia. The system would operate at 300°C and 52 bar pressure. Challenge We needed to...

Sector: Oil & Gas Background An oil terminal operator in Ghana contacted us for a pipeline solution for a new oil terminal at Takoradi. At the time, bunker fuel was being delivered to ships by road tank wagons (RTWs) or by barge. This primarily supplied marine gasoil (MGO) to offshore oil and gas vessels.  The fishing harbour in Tema has...
