Gasholder Types

Clayton Walker Gasholders are the only company worldwide to specialise in all four of the main gasholder types.

Wiggins Type Dry Seal

With low foundation costs, ease of erection and minimal maintenance requirements, these gasholders are much in demand and user friendly. They have constant working pressures and come with a range of rubber and synthetic seals to suit a variety of applications. They are used for the dry storage of gas so there are no freezing problems down to -40°C.

M.A.N. Waterless

Using oil and tar sealing systems, these floating piston-type gasholders operate within a fixed tank construction for the dry storage of gases in towns and steel works around the world, due to their low foundation cost, small footprint and constant working pressure.

Klonne Grease Seal

These piston-type gasholders with lubricated packing ring seals are used extensively on blast furnace plants for the dry storage of gas as their constant working pressures offer savings in foundation costs, particularly on bad ground.

Column and Spiral Guided Water-Sealed

These water-sealed gasholders typically store town gas, natural gas and industrial gases and range from a few cubic metres in size right up to 350,000 square metres. Used all over the world for simple, low-maintenance storage of gas, they are recognised for their reliability with many having been in service for over 100 years.

Clayton Walker Gasholders have constructed more than 1,600 gasholders in all parts of the world.
