Design and selection of mechanical seals to minimize emissions

Abstract The design of mechanical seals for applications requiring the control of fugitive emissions is reviewed. The paper discusses the features inherent in seal design and how these affect overall performance; it also examines the effect of materials of construction. Selection guidelines comparing various mechanical seal arrangements are included, these being based on operational experience in working plants. Significant events in the development of emission regulations and therefore modern sealing solutions are described.
