Air-operated double diaphragm pumps (AODD) are preferred in transfer applications due to a simple design that makes them easy to operate and cost effective to repair. To achieve top performance, end […]
Greenhouse Gas(GHG) reporting requirements highlight the need to reduce gas leakage at the point where most of it occurs – reciprocating compressor packing cases. A Gulf Coast energy company took […]
Gas compressor applications on offshore production platforms and FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) are tough on compressor valves. The gas composition from the well and associated processes often includes […]
A major US pipeline transmission and storage company in the Great Lakes region was struggling with decreasing service life for rings, riders and packing due to debris from a plugged […]
After having success with Isomag’s in top drive applications, NOV decided to use the Isomag MP-V3 to replace the industry standard labyrinths on wench gearboxes. The upgrade proved worthwhile when leaks […]
The Enbridge pipeline across North America saw issues with bearing contamination in Sulzer pumps being sealed with industry Standard labyrinths. After Isomags were spec’d in 2008 the contamination was eliminated […]
The use of variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to control AC motors has increased dramatically in recent years. In addition to their low operating cost and high performance, they save energy. Today, […]
All major manufacturers of 3-phase AC induction motors offer “inverter-duty” or “inverter-ready” models, but while these motors have inverter-rated insulation to protect the windings, their most vulnerable parts — the […]
The AEGIS® Bearing Protection Ring’s patented Nanogap Technology ensures effective electrical contact even when physical contact is broken. Only AEGIS® Nanogap Technology provides both maintenance free contact and noncontact bearing […]
