Case Study Spotlight

John Crane Helps Leading German Energy Company Solve Seal and Stocking Problems, and Improve Repair Turnaround

A leading German-based, power-generation company was looking for a way to mitigate losses from damaged seals on high-performance boilers and volume pumps. Chemical reactions not communicated in the original specification had compromised feedwater seals and flue gas desulphurization (FGD) feed seals failed due to metal erosion and lack of seal component flexibility. This undiagnosed root cause and inconsistent repair procedures resulted in unplanned pump outages.
