  • Medium: pentane

Single unrestrained MFW Series

  • DN 500 mm (20”)
  • L: 1820 mm 
  • Multiply Bellows in SS321
  • Design Pressure: 30,1 barg
  • Test pressure: 45.15 barg
  • Temperature: 200 °C
  • Medium: pentane

Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth. It's clean and sustainable. Resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few kilometers beneath the Earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma.

In the last years MACOGA has successfully delivered highly engineered Expansion Joints to quite a few number of Geothermal Plants all over the world like the:
