I have some inquiry about Mechanical Seal in Petrochemical.
most pump that we have 2 for each Tower(under Vacuum) one running another one standby. My Question
What is the best practice for standby pump that has Gas Seal (N2). Seal Plan 74
1- Keep N2 online all the time.
2- Isolated N2 during standby.
If there is any passing from discharge valve for the standby pump (it has common header) how that will affect on the standby mechanical seal.
What we have to do to protect mechanical seal from Failure?
