Stop the Steam! Campaign aimed at Oil & Gas

A leading UK engineering and reliability group has launched a campaign urging global Oil & Gas industry executives to stop unnecessary steam leaks that are causing damage to the planet requiring a rain forest of 100 million trees to counteract.

Chris Rea, the managing director of AES Engineering, takes the unusual step of calling upon the major Oil & Gas companies to use their existing suppliers – including rival manufacturers who are strongly placed in this industry –in order to stop wasteful, expensive and harmful leaks.

AES is a global group headquartered in South Yorkshire, which makes advanced mechanical seals under its main brand AESSEAL, and also supplies monitoring and reliability services via AVT Reliability.
Chris Rea says: “Steam leaks are endemic to the Oil & Gas industry even though proven solutions have been available for decades. Installing better sealing technology often has a payback of as little as six months, meaning that the companies are losing money as well as hurting the planet.”

In an open letter aimed at industry executives, many of whom have also been contacted individually, he urges: “If you don’t already work with our global team of reliability experts, go to your current seal supplier – Eagle Burgmann, John Crane or Flowserve who serve most of the Oil & Gas industry. Please make my day and help save the world for our children and grandchildren”.
