The SAS-P system
SEPCO announced its new SAS-P system, designed for centrifugal pumps moving slurries. With two shaft-supporting bushings and a lantern ring, the SAS-P is a non-contact tandem seal that uses air to seal and water to flush and clean the stuffing box/seal chamber. The seal is impervious to these traditional system conditions that are considered pump and seal killers:
- Pipe strain
- Misalignment
- Off-BEP operation
- Cavitation
