KEI, apart from supplying the expansion joint as a product, has also developed skills to study the entire system as a whole to recommend solutions for optimized usage of supports, structures and the number of expansion joints in the entire system. All technical team members have been trained to study the layout and provide optimal solutions. KEI team can assist from concept to commissioning – by undertaking the supervision of installation of expansion joints.
In addition, KEI can also undertake to study specific problems arising from associated equipment to offer tailor made solutions. For example – KEI has developed special designs for Diesel Generator applications – to withstand the high pulsation along with the thermal movements, vibrations and chemical attack. This specific application was, till then, considered as an area not suitable for Non Metallic Expansion joints.
Similarly, KEI can also undertake retrofitting damaged or leaking Metallic Expansion Joints on a complete turnkey basis. Damaged Metallic Bellows constitute a major cause for financial loss in process plants – due to loss of energy by the leakage from / to the system. Many Thermal Power plants and Chemical plants in India have reaped the benefit of retrofitting the damaged Metallic bellows with Non Metallic Fabrics with our turnkey service.
Further, KEI can also undertake the ownership of expansion joints – in large process plants, irrespective of the original source, and maintain the same to enable the customer to operate his plant without any outages due to the expansion joints. A Comprehensive Service Program can be offered depending upon the number and type of expansion joints in the plant.
