T2 - Auxiliary Lubrication & Fluid Seal Systems - Design, Component Selection & Predictive Maintenance Guidelines
Abstract
Although the majority of Fluid Seal Systems today are Dry Gas Seal Systems, most Refinery and Chemical Plants still have Oil based seal systems. Approximately 60-70% of unscheduled critical (unspared) equipment shutdowns are caused by unreliable auxiliary systems. Losses of product revenue can exceed $1,000,000 U.S. Dollars per day. Learn how these important systems function and how they can be designed, modified and conditioned monitored to avoid costly, unscheduled shutdowns of critical equipment. An actual lubrication and oil seal system will be designed, major components will be sized and selected by class members using course workbooks. Critical factors concerning component reliability will be presented for each major component.
