Retrofitting a Pump with an EagleBurgmann H75VN
Cumene, the common name for isopropylbenzene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon and a colorless liquid under atmospheric conditions with a characteristic smell. It is a component of crude oil and refined fuels and is mainly used in the production of phenol.
The Problem
Ineos in Gladbeck and Degussa in Marl, both located in Germany, are supplied with cumene by a pipeline. The pump station for this pipeline is situated inside the chemical industry park in Marl and is operated by Degussa Infracor. Cumene is classified as hazardous to the environment, so the “TA-Luft” directive (German Clean Air Directive) has to be considered for any sealing solution.

The sliding bearing tracks the complete lip seal element to the shaft movements. Since the lip and bearing are in one element, the sealing gap between the rotating shaft and the sealing lip remains virtually constant and the seal remains tight over the long term. Compensating elements such as O-ring, expansion washer or metal bellows are not required for reliable operation.
The modular seal was specifically designed for the operating conditions in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food industry as well
