Benefits of Upgrading Steam Turbine with Non-Contact Dry Gas Seal - STG170™
SEALING SOLUTION & HIGHLIGHT
Scenic provides a sealing solution featuring the newest technology of the non-contact dry gas seal STG170™, for the steam turbine in the power and energy industry. By replacing the old multi-segment ring used by customers, less downtime for maintenance and reduced steam leakage are achieved.
- High reliability- Non-contact dry gas seal (zero abrasion).
- Utilizes the steam from the turbine as a power source for STG170™, extra gas support system is unnecessary.

BEFORE
- Multi-segment ring was used as the sealing component of the steam turbine.
- Unable to prevent leakage of high-pressure steam.
- Extended operation will cause damage to the carbon seal ring and turbine shaft.
- The damaged turbine shaft enlarges the gap and increases the steam leakage.
- The oil lubricant is susceptible to contamination from steam leakage, leading to degradation and turbine bearing damage.
- Massive leakage leads to widespread corrosion of the equipment and energy waste.
AFTER
- Near zero leakage.
- Avoid the emulsification of oil lubricant in the turbine bearing caused by thermal shock.
- Reduce drive power consumption, increase energy efficiency.
- No damages to the steam turbine shaft.
- Decrease the probability of bearing damage and lubricating failure due to steam leakage.
- Cost savings.
- Long service life.
