Design Requirements The purpose of the gas seal system is: To provide clean, dry sealing gas to the faces of the dry gas seals ‹

To provide clean, dry separation gas to the barrier seals ‹

To monitor the "health" of the dry gas seals and barrier seals ‹

Gas Seal System P&ID

Seal Gas Supply .. can be an inert gas, sweet gas, or process gas coming from a steady and continuous source, which meets the cleanliness and temp requirements ( supply temp shall be limited to a maximum of 250ºF /121 C) ‹

This gas should be filtered to 2 micron to remove solid particles from the gas stream ‹

When moisture is present in the seal gas supply, a coalescing element is recommended ‹

A duplex or stand-by filter assembly enables the operator to change the dirty filter without system S/D. D-R's standard arrangement is duplex filter assembly with a stainless steel housing ‹

Seal Gas Supply To evaluate potential liquid condensation, a phase map shall be used to look at all operating conditions (design pressure to atmospheric pressure) including pressurized shutdowns and settle out conditions ‹

Depending on the quality of the seal gas and the result of the phase map analysis, it may be required to provide special liquid separation and filtration equipment, and supplemental heating of the sealing gas

‹

If the ambient temperature can fall below the seal gas dew point, all seal gas supply piping shall be heat traced

11

Primary Vent Line Monitoring the gas seal leakage through the primary vent = method of assessment of the condition of the dry gas seal. Monitoring the differential pressure across a restriction orifice in the primary vent piping fitted with an indicating, differential pressure transmitter

‹

If the primary vent is connected to a flare system, a check valve is required to prevent any potential reverse flow in the vent which could cause damage to the gas seal

‹

The primary vent shall be provided with a low drain point valve to allow drainage of any potential liquid builddischarge up, which could contaminate the primary seal. Periodic removal of any accumulated liquids is required ‹

Primary leakage – proper monitoring equip & safety devices

Rupture disc: unload the seal & release the pressure to vent / flare in case of a primary seal failure / PCV failure

13

Rupture Sensor

‹

‹

The plastic film with the printed silver circuit lies between two armored graphite gaskets There is no contact to the rupture disk 14

Secondary Vent The secondary seal is intended to act as a backup in case of primary seal damage, providing the necessary shaft sealing until the unit can be safely SD and depressurized ‹

The compressor shall operate on the secondary seal only for a controlled S/D ‹

The secondary vent shall be provided with a low drain point valve to allow drainage of any potential liquid buildup, which could contaminate the secondary seal. Periodic discharge removal of any accumulated liquids is required ‹

supply

15

Separation Gas Supply N2 source is recommended to be employed for separation gas. Alternate solution, use of instrument air as the separation gas medium ‹

The separation gas shall be free of solid particles 3 microns and larger, 99.97 percent liquid free, and a maximum of 120 F (49 C) at the gas seal control panel connection point ‹

A separation gas filter is provided at the gas seal control panel inlet. D-R's standard arrangement is to discharge provide a duplex filter with non-ferrous housing

‹

supply

16

Separation Gas Supply

The supply of separation gas to the barrier seals is controlled using a differential discharge pressure control valve that regulates the separation gas pressure to a predetermined value [< 15 PSI (<103 KPa)] above the secondary vent pressure 17

Separation Gas Supply – Alarms & S/D Alarm: is provided in the event the differential pressure between the separation gas supply and the secondary vent falls below a predetermined level ‹

S/D: If proper separation gas pressure is lost during operation of the compressor, S/D is initiated after 30 minutes (After the compressor case has been vented, lube oil flow to the bearings shall be stopped)

Note: If proper separation gas pressure is lost while the compressor is S/D depressurized, lube oil pump shall be discharge stopped except if the rotor system includes an active turning gear 18

Permissive & Interlock Conditions Proper separation gas differential pressure shall be confirmed before energizing the lube oil pumps ‹

Permissive to start: provides an interlock for the lube oil pump logic in the unit control panel ‹

Permissive to start: provides an interlock for the rupture sensor (hard wired to the unit control discharge panel ‹

19

Explosive Mixture When air is used as the separation gas medium, the gas seal system shall be evaluated for the possible occurrence of explosive air / gas mixture in the secondary vent, under all operating and static conditions ‹

The system can be designed to create a "lean" or "rich" environment in the secondary vent ‹

If the primary vent is connected to a flare system, the secondary vent is only permitted to employ a rich mixture design. Flame arrestors shall be provided (optionally by discharge D-R) for secondary vents to atmosphere employing separation air

‹

20

Explosive Mixture “lean” mode: a quantity of air is injected into the secondary vent to insure that the gas to air mixture is below the lower explosive level of the gas. (This is

‹

accomplished by bypassing separation air from the supply piping directly into the secondary vent piping)

“rich” mode: a quantity of process gas is injected into the secondary vent such that the gas to air mixture is above the upper explosive level of the gas. (This is ‹

accomplished by bypassing process gas from the seal gas supply piping directly into the secondary vent piping) discharge
