Abstract
This case study of a typical tandem arrangement dry gas seal failure during compressor start-up elaborates importance of start-up environment consideration during design for a compressor dry gas seal system. The seal failed due to oil ingress during compressor start-up.
The case study presentation details out following major contents:
* Chronological events leading to dry gas seal failure, relevant data
* Findings/observations during subsequent maintenance
* Root cause analysis and outcomes
* Corrective actions & subsequent performance
* Key learning
