Seals that significantly reduce methane emissions
John Crane
This company recently launched its latest gas-seal technology designed to be retrofitted into centrifugal compressors with oil seals to significantly lower operating costs, improve reliability and reduce methane emissions by up to 95%. The Aura 120 Narrow Section gas seal (photo) enables the company’s latest gas-seal technology to be fitted into a larger percentage of older equipment, bringing with it the benefits of non-contacting design. Gas-seal technology eliminates the need for oil lubrication associated with contacting seals and the resulting need to address harmful emissions entrapped in the oil. — John Crane, Chicago, Ill.
