Problem
Rotating shaft seals are capable of providing long service life under the correct operating conditions. A lack of understanding of the key parameters of the seals and the equipment to which they are fitted, historically, has led to erratic service lives.

Objectives
To improve the life of seals, and thereby enhance plant availability.

Approach
BHR Group's engineers work with customers to understand the needs of the application. Accessing our considerable Sealing Technology know-how we apply specialist software models, purpose designed test facilities and materials data to achieve an optimal solution. Clear design guidelines are provided, and training is given as required.

Outcome/Benefits
Improved knowledge within the customer's own organisation, better operating and maintenance procedures, and overall improved process reliability.
