| dc.description.abstract | In an upstream facility in Venezuela, Single Mechanical Seals in combination with API 682 Piping Plan 32 and 62 have been used in a Multiphase twin-screw pump application successfully over many years. It was clients target to reduce the required flush flow rate by 70% to save costs. To solve this challenge, an extremely robust slurry mechanical seal design in combination with diamond seal face material technology was installed. The mechanical seals performed successfully with the significantly reduced flush flow rate, handling solids and gas slugs. Cost savings of appr. 10.000 USD per day, equal to nearly 3.7 million USD per year per pump were realized finally. | |
