Mechanical seals fail. They wear, leak, and contaminate—yet most facilities still rely on them for hazardous, toxic, or high-purity fluids. Every micro-leak poses safety risks, environmental violations, and product losses . Magnetic drive pumps eliminate mechanical seals entirely, achieving true zero-leakage containment through magnetic coupling . Without this upgrade, chemical plants, pharmaceutical facilities, and semiconductor manufacturers remain exposed to fugitive emissions, costly cleanup, and personnel hazards. EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd supplies, installs, and services zero-leakage magnetic drive pumps engineered for API 685 compliance and critical containment applications .
Our magnetic drive pump solutions serve:
Chemical Processing & Petrochemical Facilities
Pharmaceutical & Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing
Semiconductor & Ultra-Pure Water Systems
Oil & Gas Refining and Offshore Platforms
Food & Beverage High-Purity Transfer
Hazardous Waste & Effluent Treatment
Sealless Magnetic Coupling – No dynamic seals; power transmitted via magnetic flux through containment shell
Complete Fluid Containment – Pumped media never contacts atmosphere; ideal for VOCs, acids, and toxic compounds
API 685 Compliant – Engineered for zero-emission duty in oil and gas applications
Lifecycle Cost Reduction – 20-30% lower maintenance costs vs. mechanical seal pumps
No Seal Support Systems – Eliminate buffer fluid tanks, pressurisation units, and monthly top-ups
Fugitive Emissions – Mechanical seal leakage of VOCs, HAPs, or corrosive gases
Product Contamination – Barrier fluid ingress into high-purity batches
Catastrophic Seal Failure – Sudden rupture releasing hazardous contents
Regulatory Non-Compliance – Violations of environmental and workplace safety standards
High Maintenance Burden – Seal replacement every 6–18 months in aggressive services
