Increasing MTBR 366% by upgrading

A Turkish coal fired power plant was having problems with unacceptable failure rates of their Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) pumps. The OEM supplied FGD slurry pump seals were failing every 6 months.

AESSEAL^® installed a FGDSS single slurry seal in September 2011. The FGDSS seal is specifically designed for pumping the abrasive slurries found in the flue gas desulphurisation process. The new seals have operated without the need for replacement for more than two years.
