Dry gas seal in syn gas compressor
Dry gas seal in syn gas compressor
(OP)
Deal all, we have a problem of dry gas seal failure in syn gas compressor which operates at 160 KG dischrage pressure. For start up condition, to avoid contaminated gas flow from inside the machine to outside, sealing system provide a booser compresor which supplier high pressure N2 gas to provide the requried differential. In our case the booster N2 compressor doesnt seem to be performing well. Can you share your experience with booster compressor? Is this device installed in all the dry gas selas of high pressure compressors? Is there any other system which can replace booster.

It sounds like you need to review the whole gas panel design and you may find that with some modifications you will sort this out but get the experts involved. There are many poorly designed gas panels which are the root cause of Gas seal failures.

The panel is fitted with steam heating coil but its tuned off due the good gas quality with no possibility of having moisture, I like your suggestion of reviwing the whole design. what is the best approach to go, consult the seal vendor or the compressor supplier in such cases?
