Features
The sealing solution for reduction of methane-/ process gas emissions
Gas-lubricated
Bi-directional
Ready-to-fit cartridge unit
Available for following seal arrangements: single and tandem
Co-axial primary seal
Separation seals as CobaSeal, carbon rings or labyrinths optional
Advantages
No methane-/ process gas emissions
Supplied with clean nitrogen (no dew point and dirt problems)
Robust
Offers higher safety than a double seal
Upgrade-possibility of existing single, double and tandem seals
No modification of the compressor necessary
