SGB at the Premiere of Energy Transport Exchange in Kassel
From September 17 to 19, 2026, ETX – The Energy Transport Exchange will take place for the first time in Kassel. This new international trade fair is dedicated to the logistics and transportation of crude oil, natural gas, and energy sources, as well as the associated technologies, infrastructure, and services.
SGB GmbH will be represented at the fair’s premiere alongside the ELAFLEX Group. Visitors can find the group’s stand in hall 4, stand C03.
There, SGB will be presenting its fully explosion-proof vacuum leak detector VLXE 330 ExM that together with ELAFLEX double-walled hoses is the new ‘DualSafe’.
The DualSafe solution is available for ELAFLEX Yellow Band hoses like HD, TW or LTW and all chemical hoses according to EN 12115. The available size ranges from DN 15 to DN 80. Thanks to SGB’s proven leak detection technology, DualSafe can be used anywhere and significantly simplifies resource-planning processes. It works as a flexible replacement for liquid-tight loading zones with retention basins and meets the requirements of nature conservation areas. The VLXE 330 ExM provides a visual, acoustic and electrical signal whenever the vacuum in the monitored space is compromised.
The combination of a double-walled hose design and continuous leak monitoring enables the early detection of leaks. As a result, SGB leak prevention technology plays a vital role in protecting people, the environment, and products.
What else will be shown at the ELAFLEX Group stand?
- Custom-made hose reels designed to meet specific customer requirements for various refueling and transfer scenarios
- New DDC 2.0 dry disconnect couplings and semi-automatic pneumatic nozzles for liquid hydrogen (LH2) from MannTek
- Components for safe and efficient transport and handling of H2, LH2, CNG, LNG, LPG, and conventional fuels
About SGB's leak prevention technology: SGB's leak prevention systems are used worlwide to monitor double-walled tanks and pipes that store or convey liquids hazardous to groundwater. Widespread operational areas are filling stations, tank farms, refineries, chemical plants, EPS, etc. Working either with overpressure or vacuum, SGB leak detectors monitor both walls reliably and continuously. In the event of a leak, an alarm is triggered before any stored or conveyed product can enter and harm the environment – an indispensable safety measure in environmental and water protection.
