Storagetech completes external floating roof mechanical seal order for SASREF in Saudi Arabia

Storagetech was responsible for the design, material supply, fabrication, packaging, and installation supervision of scissor-type primary, secondary, and fabric mechanical shoe seals for three storage tanks with diameters of 60.96 m, 43.89 m, and 29.26 m. The project required customised solutions to accommodate SASREF’s existing tank configurations and seal orientation, ensuring a precise fit for their operational needs.

The project was carried out in strict compliance with the latest American Petroleum Institute (API) standards, ensuring a sealing system that enhances safety, minimises emissions, and improves tank efficiency. The project also plays a crucial role in minimising vapour loss and emission control, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030’s commitment to environmental protection. By implementing advanced sealing technologies, Storagetech contributes to the safety of operations while protecting the environment from harmful emissions.

Storagetech also supplied mechanical shoe seals made from PTFE-coated woven fiberglass fabric to enhance chemical resistance and temperature endurance. The solution was designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and volatile hydrocarbons.

“This project underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality, customised tank sealing solutions that meet the most stringent industry standards,” said Can Öcal, Marketing and Communication Manager at Storagetech. “We take pride in our ability to provide SASREF with a high-performance sealing system that ensures safety, efficiency, and compliance with API regulations.”
