The systems used to harvest the worlds energy sources, such as power, heat and fuel are continuously being developed. The progress made in the development of the energy industry, whether it be renewables, hydropower, bioenergy or fuel cells, is primarily due to the use of modern materials such as semi-finished plastics.
Engineering plastics offer a wide range of benefits including weight reduction, freedom from corrosion, minimized noise emissions, thermal decoupling and emergency running properties.
Elekem’s TECAPEEK SM (PEEK) tubes are developed to handle most demanding applications within the energy sector, including:
