Dry Gas Seal Booster Systems

The use of dry gas mechanical shaft seals in centrifugal compressors has increased dramatically in the past 25 years. Preventing contamination of the gas used by these seals is necessary to assure long life. Gas Compression Systems dry gas seal pressure boosters ensure that gas quality is maintained during startup, settle-out and pressurized hold conditions.

    • No Electricity Required – Powered by Instrument Air
    • Models conform to CE ATEX Explosion-proof requirements
    • Wetted parts conform to NACE MR0175 & MR0103
    • Designed in accordance with ASME Section VIII, Division and CE PED
    • Distance piece design prevents mixing of the gas and drive air
    • Dynamic seals are filled Teflon and require no lubrication
    • 2500+ hour operating life with no maintenance required
    • Suitable for continuous operation
