Floating roof storage tank seals play a critical role in keeping tanks safe and compliant. By closing the gap between the roof and tank shell, they stop harmful vapours escaping into the atmosphere, protecting both people and the environment.

We supply a full range of primary and secondary seals for both external and internal floating roofs, with a service life of up to 20 years. Whether you're specifying for a new build or replacing a worn seal, we can help find the right fit for your tank and stored product.

Keeping Jet A1 fuel moving safely at a major UAE airport ✈️

We supplied four 36" large bore Swivel Joints as part of a critical replacement project at a major international airport in the UAE, forming part of existing floating suction units used for aviation fuel transfer.

Cheers to a smooth fill 🥃

This week we shipped 2 x 1" AZV Automatic Delivery Nozzles with Swivels to a whisky distillery on the west coast of Scotland.

The AZV nozzle works much like a petrol pump: pulling the trigger opens the valve, and as the container fills, the nozzle senses back pressure and shuts off automatically, reducing spillage and improving efficiency in high-volume filling environments. The added swivel joint eases handling for operators, making repeated use throughout the day smoother and more comfortable.

Available from 0.5" to 2", in stainless steel or Hastelloy, with a range of end connections and additional features to suit the application.
