Description: Water is a fundamental and valuable resource within the pulp and paper industry, and makes up a significant proportion of the total cost of running a plant. Aside from the financial implications of using large volumes of water, environmental considerations are becoming more important. Reducing water consumption and accurate water-balance planning over the long term are therefore critical to the success of a business. The industry is developing at a dynamic pace with growing environmental awareness, changing customer expectations and greater competition all driving innovation around ways to save water. Specifying the right sealing solution can reduce energy consumption, too, by allowing the rotating shaft to rotate more freely, compared to traditional packing, which call be like operating a piece of equipment with the brakes on. Previous practices of supporting packing and mechanical seal systems using quench-to-drain flushing resulted in the use of large amounts of water, and, in some cases, produced water effluent that had to be dealt with, adding more cost.
