I am trying to estimate the amount of HC's that leaks out of a hydrodynamic seal on a large gas compressor. The seal has two sealing faces and two buffer gas purges, JC Type 28AT. It is assumed that both the primary and secondary faces failed and opened completely. How should the environmental release be estimated?

Regards,

Matt
