Trelleborg has launched a revolutionary SealWelding technology that allows seals to be welded in-situ on an FPSO (floating production storage and offloading) platform, eliminating the need for it to disconnect and return to shore. Manufactured from Trelleborg's well-established seal material, this new technology will massively reduce the downtime and associated costs that come from maintaining an FPSO swivel stack. Currently, swivel stack maintenance requires a vessel to travel back to shore so that components can be completely disassembled and seals replaced. By optimizing billet welding, Trelleborg's new technology is able to weld the original seal material in-situ.
