DF-(P)DGS6 for pipelines
Sulzer ethane pumps which are applied in the pipeline of Enterprise Products Operating LP in Mont Belvieu, Texas, USA (picture above) have been sealed successfully by EagleBurgmann DF-DGS6/98-ZT1-U seals since July 2011. The DiamondFace bonded gas seals provide much longer operational life with very low leakage compared to the originally used liquid-lubricated seals.
Operating conditions: p = 40.7 … 50.3 barg (590 … 725 PSIG), t = -12.8 °C … +21.1 °C (+9 °F … +70 °F), n = 3,570 min-1.
DGS6 in ethane fractionation plant
A number of EagleBurgmann DGS6/49-TA1-U seals with DiamondFace bonding are applied in Schlumberger pumps in an US based ethane fractionation plant.
Operating conditions: p = 62.1 barg (900 PSIG), t = -6.7 °C … +150 °C (+19.9 °F … +302 °F), n = 3,550 min-1
DF-(P)DGS6 at fractionation plant
EagleBurgmann DF-DGS6/98-ZT3-U seals are installed in Sulzer Pumps of a fractionation plant in Mont Belvieu, USA, which process mixes NGL streams into purity NGL products like ethane, propane etc.
Operating conditions: p = 44,1 ... 49,6 barg (640 … 720 PSIG), t = 18 °C ... 24 °C (64.4 °F ... 75.2 °F), n = 3,560 min-1
DF-(P)DGS6 in ethylene expansion plant
ITT Industries-Goulds pumps of an ethylene expansion plant in Bayport, Texas, USA are equipped with EagleBurgmann DF-DGS6/108-ZT2-U seals.
Operating conditions: p = 24.9 barg (374.9 PSIG), t = -24.3 °C … +10 °C (-11.7 °F … +50 °F), n = 3,600 min-1
