Fan for biogas flare - is there an allowable leakage?
Fan for biogas flare - is there an allowable leakage?
(OP)
In a biogas flare system - the booster fan leaks biogas around the shaft seal of the motor. It is a small leak but the smell is evident which I am worried may concern insurance companies or inspectors. The fan and all surrounding equipment is designed for a class 1 div 1 environment. I am wondering if anyone knows of any regulation stating what is acceptable for leakage in this type of setup?
