Seal Management System - SMS
Features
The EagleBurgmann SMS is a customizable system based on four modules. It is used to continuously supply and monitor gas-lubricated mechanical seals.
Advantages
- Reliable operation by supplying the seal with filtered and dry buffer gas, seal gas and separation gas.
- Condition of the filters, control valves, instrumentation and nitrogen and process gas sources are checked at all times.
- Constant monitoring for leakage and seal function.
- Individually adaptable to suit operating conditions and safety requirements.
- All current industrial standards, such as API and special operator requirements, can be fulfilled.
- Seal Management System (SMS) available with additional gas conditioning skid.
Standards and approvals
- Compliant to TA Luft (German Clean Air Act)
Recommended applications
- Oil and gas industry
- Refining technology
- Petrochemical industry
- Chemical industry
Functional description
Flushing gas module
Primary seal gas line or buffer gas line:
- Supplying with filtered and dry flushing gas
- Monitoring and regulating the flow rate and/or the (differential) pressure
- Monitoring the gas filter
- For dual seals, process gas is generally injected in front of the seal as a gas buffer. The actual seal is supplied with nitrogen.
Barrier gas module
Secondary seal gas line:
- Supplying with filtered barrier gas (N2)
- Monitoring and regulating the flow rate and/or the (differential) pressure
- Monitoring the gas filter
Leakage module
(Primary) vent line:
- Monitoring of the leakage from the seal and outputting an alarm when the leakage is out of expected range
- Ensuring the leakage is directed to a flare or flare system
Separation gas
Separation gas line:
- Supplying and monitoring the oil barrier seal with nitrogen or air
- Monitoring and regulating the flow rate and/or the (differential) pressure
Notes
EagleBurgmann SMS are also available as complete conditioning skids with individually-adapted components, e.g.:
- Booster
- Cooler
- Heater
- Separator
- Coalescence filter
- Demister
