Energy market

Our climate is changing. The world needs more and different energy sources. Technology & Services supplies specific solutions in the production chain for new sources of energy at sea. That includes equipment for installing wind turbines and the technology for tidal energy. Given market demand, these activities in particular will expand further.


Tailor made SUPREME seal TG

2004, Kval Sound Fjord, Norway. IHC Lagersmit delivers a tailor made SUPREME seal TG to fit a Tidal Turbine prototype. The challenge: design a seal to be maintenance free for at least 3 years. In 2008 it was time to evaluate. After four years of delivering green energy to the town Hammerfest, the seal showed results beyond expectations:

  • Maintenance free operation for four years
  • No exceeding of temperature of the lip seals
  • No water was found ingress
  • No signs of corrosion on the liner

Carousel system for offshore wind farm use
