Air Seal System Stops Leakage of a Fly Ash Pump

An air seal solution on a pump handling fly ash is a full system. It includes the air seal, a lantern ring, and two shaft stabilizing bushings. It eliminated all the issues the previous seals had, including premature mechanical seal failure, housekeeping issues, and safety problems. The system is impervious to these traditional system conditions that are considered pump and seal killers:

• Pipe strain
• Misalignment
• Off-BEP operation
• Cavitation
