Leaks from critical flanges.There persist a traditional industry mindset that heat exchangers would frequently leak from flanges during start up or cool down. Refinery flange leaks could create hazardous conditions for workers and can cause plant owners a huge amount of unplanned downtime and subsequent repair cost. This hazard had persisted for more than a decade. 45 years ago we put man on the moon, but unfortunately today, flange leaks are still accepted as normalized conditions in plant operating, due to this traditional industry mindset.With our 4 foundations in our Flange Management Program we focus on flange Design, Component Quality, Execution Quality & Bolt Tension. By doing this we address the most important thing in order to avoid leaks from critical flanges in the start up or cool down condition. The program applies and controlled the right amount of gasket seating stress in all operating conditions, without overloading flange components. With more than 30 year experience in solving repetitive flange leaks from bolted joints connections on critical flanges, has James Walker build up a reputation as a trusted partner within many global refineries. References of leak free performance on past bad-actor flanges are available on requested.
