The Rabigh facility is a world-class refinery and petrochemical complex with the centrepiece being the high olefins fluid catalytic cracker complex, integrated with a world scale ethane-based cracker.
These petrochemical derivative units will produce a total of 2.4 million ton/year of polyolefin's.
Working together with JGC, Flexitallic supplied spiral wound gaskets filled with Thermiculite 835 filler, for the fluid catalytic cracker. Thermiculite enables the cracker to perform to its highest efficiency due to the ability of Thermiculite to maintain high sealing characteristics in the hostile operating environment. Thermiculite materials operate in areas where graphite-based products cannot cope due to graphite's poor resistance to oxidation.
