Advanced Dry Gas Seal Troubleshooting & Maintenance

Course overview

What are the uses of dry gas seals?

Mechanical seals known as dry gas seals are employed in abrasive working conditions such as petrochemical plants, oil exploration, extraction, and refinement. These seals are made up of a primary (stationary) ring and a mating (rotating) ring.

These seals are very dependable, and using them saves organization money on operations and maintenance. Additionally, dry gas seals minimize emissions and leaks. Applications with extraordinarily high speeds require this kind of seals. Dry seals’ faces are not in contact, hence there cannot be any friction created by them. They are widely employed in the pipeline industry due to their distinctiveness and safety.

Participants will gain a thorough grasp of dry gas seals, including their installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance, from this Training Bee training course. By taking this course, you will develop the skills and self-assurance needed to successfully ensure operations requiring dry gas seals. Additionally, given the usefulness of dry gas seals, having thorough training in their use and upkeep can improve your prospects and opportunities for development and professional advancement across a variety of industries.
