SEPCO 622 Fugitive Emissions Packing: Reliable Valve Sealing for Emissions Control

by SEPCO

622 ringsSEPCO 622 fugitive emissions packing delivers API 622-compliant valve sealing to reduce VOC leaks, improve reliability, and ensure environmental compliance in demanding industrial applications.

Containing What Matters: A Smarter Approach to Fugitive Emissions Control

In an industrial environment, sealing is about more than just containing product—it’s about controlling emissions, protecting equipment, and meeting increasingly strict environmental regulations.

Fugitive emissions—unintended leaks of gases or vapors, often volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—pose serious risks to safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. That’s why advanced sealing solutions like SEPCO 622 fugitive emissions packing are critical for modern valve performance.

At SEPCO, the goal isn’t just to meet a standard—it’s to deliver sealing reliability that holds up in real-world conditions.

What Is Fugitive Emissions Packing?

Fugitive emissions packing is specifically engineered to minimize leakage from valve stems, helping facilities reduce environmental impact and maintain regulatory compliance.

Standards like API 622 define how packing must perform under controlled testing conditions to verify its ability to limit emissions over time.

SEPCO 622 packing is designed and tested to meet these stringent requirements—giving operators confidence that their sealing solution is built for compliance and long-term performance.

Engineered for Real-World Performance

SEPCO 622 fugitive emissions packing is constructed from high-purity graphite and engineered to perform across a wide range of temperatures and pressures.

But beyond materials, it’s built for how valves actually operate in the field:

  • Handles thermal cycling without losing sealing load
  • Maintains low leakage rates over extended service intervals
  • Reduces the need for frequent gland adjustments

The result is a sealing solution that stays tight—even in demanding, fluctuating conditions.

Reducing Emissions Without Increasing Maintenance

Traditional packing often forces a tradeoff between emissions control and maintenance. Tightening packing to reduce leakage can increase friction and wear, while loosening it risks emissions.

SEPCO 622 is designed to eliminate that compromise.

Its advanced construction allows for effective sealing with fewer adjustments, helping operations:

  • Reduce maintenance frequency
  • Minimize valve stem wear
  • Maintain consistent sealing performance

This means less time spent addressing leaks—and more time focused on keeping systems running.

API 622 Compliance You Can Trust

Meeting emissions regulations isn’t optional—and falling short can be costly.

SEPCO 622 packing is tested in accordance with API 622 standards, ensuring it meets strict fugitive emissions requirements for valve packing. This provides operators with a dependable solution for compliance without sacrificing durability or performance.

Applications: Where SEPCO 622 Delivers Value

SEPCO 622 fugitive emissions packing is ideal for applications where emissions control and reliability are critical, including:

  • Oil & gas refining and processing
  • Petrochemical facilities
  • Chemical manufacturing
  • Natural gas transmission and pipeline systems

If your operation relies on valves—and emissions matter—SEPCO 622 is a solution designed to perform.
