The STS mechanical seal has been developed in conjunction with a major oil refinery to replace existing carbon ring seals normally fitted to steam turbines.
Steam loss is a major problem in many industries as it incurs considerable cost, reduces efficiency, can be the cause of bearing failure and potentially represent a health and safety issue when it affects visibility around the turbine.
The many variations of steam turbine can be easily accommodated through AESSEAL’s modular approach to mechanical seal design. This modular approach enables different flange designs, bolt patterns, etc. to be easily accommodated and more complex changes are supported by our Engineering team and investment in modern manufacturing technologies.
