Fossil Power

Sealing Solutions for Fossil-Power Reliability

In the demanding world of fossil power; coal, gas, and oil-fired plants—equipment uptime, efficiency, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. With energy costs and environmental controls tightening, every seal, gasket, and lubricant must perform under extreme conditions.

Built for Uptime. Engineered for Demanding Conditions. Proven to Reduce Costs.

Reliability isn't optional in fossil fuel power generation—it’s mission-critical. Every system has to perform under pressure, from reducing unplanned downtime to minimizing water and energy waste. At Progressive Sealing, we partner with Chesterton to deliver proven sealing and protection solutions that help plants operate more efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively. When every hour counts, you need a sealing partner you can trust.

Maximizing uptime, reducing unplanned maintenance, cutting emissions, and improving system efficiency are essential in fossil power operations.

Our proven sealing solutions are built to perform in the toughest conditions. With Progressive Sealing and Chesterton on your team, your equipment stays reliable, and your plant keeps running at its best.

  • Mechanical Seals and Packing for Demanding Fossil Power Applications

    Fossil power operations rely on pumps and rotating equipment that often face extreme conditions—including abrasive slurries made from ash, coal, and other particulates. These materials can cause rapid wear, clogging, and energy inefficiency. In continuous, high-pressure environments, choosing the right mechanical seals and packing isn’t just a maintenance decision—it’s key to reducing unplanned downtime, protecting equipment, and improving long-term performance.
