API 682 solutions configured locally from a company you trust

Did you know that almost 40%* of unscheduled critical pump shutdowns are the result of mechanical seal failures? When rotating equipment fails, it's often due to a seal failure. Avoiding unnecessary downtime requires a reliable seal support system you can depend on that is configured to your application needs.

Best practices such as those found in API 682, detail minimum requirements for seal support systems. However, every site and situation is different and support systems often need to fit existing equipment, operating conditions and environmental concerns.
