Prevent seal contamination and failure with a reliable gas supply solution

Centrifugal compressors are used in processes for producing oil, petroleum, petrochemicals and chemicals, as well as for natural gas processing. These compressors are equipped with seals—typically dry gas seals—to ensure that the process gas stays within the compressor. Seal leakage is monitored, and the compressor is often shut down and vented when high leakage occurs, as this indicates a seal failure. To ensure the reliability of dry gas seals and prevent situations that lead to high seal leakage, the most important factor is the supply of quality gas to the seals when gas pressure is present or injected into the compressor. Studies performed on dry gas seal failures identified the leadin
