  • Turning Your Partner into a Smooth Operator

Flowserve alliance program improves seal life at a Louisiana chemical plant.

Rubicon Inc.’s Geismar, La. Facility, a large chemical plant recognized that frequent seal replacements had become a costly problem. Part of the problem lay in the nature of Rubicon’s business. Chemical plants process a wide variety of materials under a wide range of conditions.

Rubicon needed a seal vendor that would do more than simply supply it with replacements, so the chemicals maker signed a five-year alliance agreement with Flowserve. When the alliance program began, there wasn’t a single Flowserve seal in the plant. As competitor seals failed, however, Flowserve replaced competitors’ products with upgraded Flowserve products that significantly lowered failure rate.
