Take a Peek: Environmental Impact of PEEK in Oil & Gas


PEEK (polyether ether ketone) Contribution

There are three major priorities in the oil and gas industry today:

  1. minimizing environmental impact,
  2. finding new sources for depleting oil and gas resources, and
  3. maximizing efficiency. 

PEEK Polymer impact Oil and Gas
This is the first in a series of three articles discussing how PEEK (polyether ether ketone) contributes to meeting the modern goals of the oil and gas industry.  In this article, we will focus on how PEEK can be used to minimize the environmental impact.

Polymer Seals: Key to Wind Turbine Bearing Life Extension


Wind Turbine Bearing Failure

One of the major areas of failure in wind turbines involves contaminants damaging the bearings, which in turn compromises the performance of other components, results in less efficiency, and the potential for catastrophic failure.  When you consider the outdoor, uncontrolled environments that wind turbines operate in, it’s easy to see why seals are the first line of defense for bearings.
