Leaks of caustic material from a competitor’s single mechanical seal were causing problems for a chemical company in Louisiana. The single seal was proving to be inadequate, and the lack of an effective support system to maintain sufficient pressure was allowing the caustic material to erode the seal, causing failures to occur on average every six months.
