Increasing MTBR for CI0₂ Applications in the Pulp & Paper Industry

Sponsored by: John Crane

Overview:  In this webinar, John Crane will discuss how a southeastern pulp and paper mill used one seal standard design to serve both low and high pressure sealing on its chlorine dioxide bleaching processes ClO₂ transfer pumps. We’ll show how the use of Dynamic Lift Up-stream Pumping (USP) technology allows the creation of a high pressure, low volume lubrication delivery system, providing a clean environment for the seal to operate which improves pump performance and mean time between repair (MTBR). The mill chose John Crane’s engineered Type 5620 USP Dynamic Lift non-contacting seal face treatment to improve MTBR and to reduce water waste. As a result, the mill has increased MTBR (mean time between repair) by 500% and is saving up to 1 million gallons of water per year, per seal, since the upgrade was completed.

Learning Objectives:

Demonstrate how adding Dynamic Lift Up-stream Pumping face technology to mechanical seals improves processing and reduces seal wear by:

• Optimizing mechanical seal performance
• Reducing friction and seal wear for increased uptime
• Conserving water
• Increasing MTBR (Mean Time Between Repair)
• Other Pulp & Paper applications for this technology

Who should watch:

• Process / Plant Managers
• Maintenance / Reliability Engineers
• Anyone involved in the operation and maintenance of pulp/paper plants
• Pulp/Paper plants
