Result:
Key Engineering Impact
1. The Operating Challenge & Failure Mode
The facility experienced frequent mechanical seal failures on sulfuric acid transfer pumps (failing every 6 to 8 weeks) due to face thermal distortion, crystalline solids buildup, and chemical attack on secondary elastomers.
2. The Engineered Solution & Metallurgy
Supplied DS-400 series dual cartridge mechanical seals with solid Sintered Silicon Carbide faces, FFKM perfluoroelastomer O-rings, and upgraded the flush plan to API Plan 53A with a dedicated barrier fluid reservoir.
3. Documented Results & Reliability Gains
