Batch operations in process engineering For the sake of simplicity, many processes in the chemical, pharmaceutical or biotech industries can be broken down into two main areas from the viewpoint of the sealing technology: Mixing processes Agitating, mixing and kneading are basic unit operations for combining of materials. The aim is to balance out differences in concentration and to achieve greater homogeneity.

Mechanical and thermal separation processes Centrifugation, filtering, drying and evaporating are examples of unit operations for separating processes. The aim may be to obtain a high purity end product or to separate out by-products.

Mixing processes

Mixing processes are particularly important in the chemical industry. For a start, intermediate or end products are often mixtures, dispersions or emulsions, for example. And, for a chemical reaction, the reactants must be distributed as homogeneously as possible to guarantee an optimum heat and mass transfer. We distinguish between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Homogeneous mixtures consist of just one phase, e.g. salt solutions, alloys or air. Heterogeneous mixtures comprise several phases, such as emulsions or suspensions. As a rule, we use agitating for liquid phases, kneading for highviscosity, paste-like media and mixing for solid substances.

An agitator is generally used for mixing and agitating operations involving mixtures of substances consisting primarily of the liquid phase. The requirement for a successful sealing solution is a clear definition of the operating conditions. The tasks of the mixing technology can be described as follows: Homogenisation creates a uniform phase of several liquids that are soluble in one another for the purposes of balancing out differences in concentration and temperature. Intensification increases the heat exchange between the liquid phase and the heat transfer surface

Suspending is the even distribution of solids in liquids. In the starting phase, the solids at the bottom are whirled up. In the end phase, the solids are evenly distributed in the tank. Dispersing Comminuting a substance or breaking a gas down and distributing it in a liquid. The aim of dispersing is to increase the surface area between the disperse phase and the continuous phase in order to improve the mass transfer between them which increases in proportion with the size of the surface. Dispersing is also used to stabilise emulsions. A special technology has been developed for dispersing and micro wet milling. The application requirements extend from low to high viscosity products that have to be dispersed down to nanometer range. For these applications, agitated media mills are used to disperse powdered substances in liquid phases as finely as possible. This requires particularly robust seal designs to guarantee successful operation. EagleBurgmann can supply suitable seal systems for all such mixing and agitating applications.

Mechanical and thermal separation processes

The separation of mixtures of substances is one of the most important unit operation in processes. It normally represents more than half of the investment in a chemical production plant. The majority of the raw materials and the products obtained by chemical reactions are mixtures of substances that have to be separated into the different components for further processing or end use. We distinguish between mechanical and thermal separation processes according to which physical properties are used for separation. Mechanical separation methods include e. g. centrifugation and filtering where different densities of the various components are used. Thermal separation methods such as drying and evaporating utilise the different boiling points for separation.

nologies have significantly increased over the past few years. Separators and decanters are used in the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotech industries, oil and fat recovery and starch industry and in industrial biotechnology. Filtering Filtering is the mechanical separation of a suspension into the liquid and solid phases using a filter medium. Filters perform a large number of solid/liquid separating applications. For example, modules of different designs are used in closed systems for optimised solutions that are matched to the specific application. Drying By drying, we mean the removal or reduction of the liquid content in a solid by thermal treatment. The liquid is converted into the vapour phase and removed. Drying involves a very high power consumption and must be carried out gently to prevent product deterioration, so it requires particular attention. Thermal drying always stresses the solid. It is therefore important to ensure that the process is safe as well as maintains the product quality. We distinguish between convection, contact and radiant drying according to the heat transfer method. It is also possible to distinguish by the operating conditions. For example, with

air drying, the drying is carried out with hot air at atmospheric pressure. For vacuum drying a vacuum is used. This causes the boiling point and thus the drying temperature to drop considerably, which makes the process gentler on the product. Evaporation Evaporation uses the addition of heat to evaporate and remove the solvent from a solution. This method is used to concentrate a solution, for example, to recover the pure solvent or to precipitate the dissolved solid by crystallisation.

The following separation processes are of particular importance in sealing technology. Centrifugation Separators and decanters separate solids from liquids or liquid mixtures and remove the solids at the same time. Centrifuges as stand-alone machines or integrated into complete process lines are used to implement new process technologies and make the production efficient and cost-effective.

Mechanical seals in mixing processes

In closed agitator or vessels, the rotating agitator shaft must be sealed off from the cover or bottom of the vessel. This type of arrangement is known as a top or bottom entry installation. There are also horizontally arranged shaft entries and side arrangements that are not horizontal. This creates very different requirements for the mechanical seals. To meet users expectations of longer service life for low investment costs, EagleBurgmann has developed families of seals that fully cover a wide range of applications and are based on many years of experience and development. These seal designs are standardised and thus provided the most cost-effective solution for the required

application, but are still extremely reliable. Engineered solutions are still needed for special equipment. The seal design depends on the type of installation and the process-specific load. The mechanical, process-specific, physical, chemical and safety requirements must all be taken into account in the design of the mechanical seal. Seals may also have additional design features depending on the process requirements. These may include a Cooling flange for additional cooling of the seal for process temperatures in excess of 200 C. Leakage drain Leakages of media that could harm the product or environment can be drained off into an external system. Polymerisation barrier prevents polymerisation of the product in the dynamic seal area by means of a liquid reservoir on the process side or by flushing. Resublimation barrier prevents deposits in the dynamic seal area released by product resublimation by means of a liquid reservoir on the process side or by flushing.

Top entry installation A top entry installation is generally used to seal the gas containing headspace. It should be noted that the dynamic and stationary sealing elements on the product side can come into contact with splasher and foam from the tank. There is also a risk of polymerisation in gaps or in the dynamic sealing area. The maximum speed, temperature and system pressure to be sealed in the reactor are important factors that affect the design. The mainly overhung agitator shafts are subject to bending stresses that cause the shaft to deflect in the seal plane. The mechanical forces that act on the shaft seal and bearing also have to be analysed carefully, as well as unwanted vibrations caused by internals that affect the flow or special cases, e.g. liquid bearing missing from the agitator. Shaft deflections in the seal area of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm are tolerated as standard, depending on the size of the drive system and agitator. Up to 2 mm is possible in special cases. EagleBurgmann seal systems have proven successfully in many different applications.

DIN standard agitator drives DIN 28161 Requirements on agitator drives covers the most important requirements on the seal. It defines speed limits, direction of rotation, bearing, running accuracy and the stuffing box dimensions for mechanical seals. The running accuracy of the agitator is defined in relation to the shaft diameter, but does not consider dynamic loads on the agitator shaft during mixing. DIN 28161 applies to shaft diameters from 40 mm to 220 mm and a sliding velocity of up to 2 m/s, a pressure of -1 to 6 bar and a temperature from -25 C to 200 C. Within the DIN range EagleBurgmann supplies proven seal solutions tailored to different requirements, for steel or glass-lined vessels, e.g. the M4 ..., SeccoMix and AGSZ series.

Bottom entry installation In contrast to top entry, it is the process medium itself which is sealed in a bottom entry installation. The rotating agitator shaft must be sealed off from the bottom of the tank and is totally immersed in the medium. It is characteristic for this installation that deposits may form in the area of the dynamic and stationary sealing elements, depending on the process medium. These can then hang up the seal. Additionally, the seal directly faces the temperature of the process medium. To cope with these tough operating conditions, mainly double seals with pressurised barrier medium are used. Other design features, such as flushing, may also be used. The materials must also be selected carefully. One decisive criterion in the choice of the barrier medium is its compatibility with the process medium. As with the top entry installation, the maximum speed and temperature, the sealed system pressure in the vessel, the chemical requirements, the bending stresses, the shaft deflection and the bearing must all be carefully analysed and evaluated. EagleBurgmann sealing systems from the liquid-lubricated MR..., MR333 and HSHLU series and process-optimised gas-lubricated seals from the AGSR series have proven successfully for bottom entry installations.

Mechanical seals in mechanical and thermal separation processes

The equipment used in separation processes are often engineered designs, so the seals must be selected and designed particularly carefully. Top, bottom and side entry installations are all used. The forces acting on the seal during operation must be considered in detail in advance and must be taken into account in the seal design in order to guarantee an optimum sealing solution. The emphasis in the seal design is placed on both the relatively high thermal loads (can be in excess of 300 C) and the product deposits in the area of the dynamic and stationary

sealing elements on the product side. They must not prevent the seal from moving as required. Process-optimised seal design with rotating seals on the product side (MR series) have proved particularly successfully. High temperatures can lead to considerable thermal expansion between the dryer drum and drive shaft. There can also be excessive relative movement, depending on whether the seal is installed on the drive side or the non-drive side. These movements must be absorbed with metal bellows or special deflector systems. Such metal

bellows are designed for a specific type of dryer and the additional forces are taken into account.

Examples of equipment used in mechanical and thermal separation processes: Nutsche filter (pressure nutsche filter) Nutsche filters are used for the discontinuous filtration of suspensions with a relatively high solids content. They consist of a flat, cylindrical container with a horizontal filter surface. The modern types are equipped with agitators, which are generally heightadjustable. The filtration process is operated under overpressure or under

vacuum. The operating cycle for such a nutsche consists of the following steps: Filling the nutsche and filtration; the agitator distributes the suspension uniformly over the filter surface. n Washing the filter cake n Removal of the filter cake, e.g. by the agitator or by tilting the entire container
n

Filter dryer (nutsche dryer) The filter dryer is a variant of the nutsche filter that brings together the filtration and the cake drying, generally under vacuum, in a single apparatus with no product transfer. The agitator, tank walls and sometimes the tank base can be heated for drying. Filter dryers are used to process sensitive materials by gentle drying conditions to a low residual humidity.

Conical dryer This type of dryer is used primarily for bulk goods that must not stick or cake too much during drying. The material is circulated gently by a mixing screw which rotates both about its own axis and along the tank wall. The conical dryer can be operated under vacuum or under overpressure. Heat is supplied via the wall heater and additionally via the heated screw. There are variants with top drive or bottom drive design which has significant effects on the operational safety and the ability to empty the apparatus. One particular challenge for the sealing technology in bottom entry installation the sealing of two coaxial agitators moving at different speeds.

Double cone dryer (rotary dryer) In a double cone dryer, the vessel is set in a tumbling motion by rotation. Thereby the product in the dryer is mixed and comes into contact with the heated wall. This ensures a good thermal transfer. Usually the double cone dryer is operated under a vacuum and is suitable for drying free flowing media. The internal space generally has no internals, so the apparatus is easy to empty and clean. Choppers are sometimes used to break up the product. In

this case the apparatus can sometimes be used to process paste-like media. Paddle-dryer Paddle-dryers are suitable for the discontinuous and continuous drying of pastes or free flowing media. A slowly-turning, generally heated shaft that is fitted with mixing paddles keeps the solids in movement. This intensive mixing means that even media that tend to stick together during drying can be processed. Choppers can also be used to break up the media. Smaller

apparatuses can often be opened at the end since the shaft is only mounted at one end. Large paddle-dryers can reach up to 20 m3, in which case the shaft will be mounted at both ends.

Thin-film evaporators are used to increase the concentration of high-viscosity products, to recover solvents and for temperature-sensitive materials under vacuum. Rotor blades distribute the liquid uniformly, which forms a thin film on the heated wall.

Chopper Additional units in the form of cutters or rotor/stator systems can be integrated to accelerate mixing processes and to break up clumps. These choppers are generally arranged at the side, at the base of the tank. High speeds up to 3,000 min-1 are reached. The MR5 as a double seal with pumping screw and with HS grooves, if necessary, has proven particularly successfully for this application.

SeccoMix single seals

Werb-Nr. 2783

With a single seal, the process gas is dissipated to the atmosphere or can be diverted into drainage system. If any leakage into the atmosphere is not permitted, a SeccoMix double seal should be used. This should be pressurised with a barrier gas (preferably N2) and a barrier pressure of 0.5 to 1.0 bar above the pressure to be sealed. The hydraulic conditions ensure that the seal is closed by both the product pressure and a superimposed barrier pressure. Agitator seals from the SeccoMix series are available as components or as factory-tested cartridge units (SeccoMix 481). Connections for steel (SeccoMix 481) and glass-lined (SeccoMix 461) reactors are available to DIN standards or as required.

The AGSZ is not sensitive to radial deflection. A centrally rotating seat, stationary spring-loaded seal face and an integrated bearing, which acts at the same time as a fixed bearing for the seal and as a floating bearing for the shaft, provide effective protection against negative influences on operation. An optimum sealing gap stiffness ensures that the seal operates reliably without contact, even under tough operating conditions.

Agitator seals of the HSHLU-D series are typically used for bottom entry applications such as plastics production. The seals are fully immersed in the process medium and are subject to extreme stresses. On the product side, floating throttle rings with flush prevent the intrusion of medium (e.g. polymer powder) into the seal area. The double acting seals are operated with a supply system. Operating limits d1 = 20 ... 400 mm (0.787 ... 15.748) p1 = vacuum ... 60 bar (870 PSI) t1 = 30 ... +200 C (22 ... 392 F)

The MR333 version of the seal fulfils all the criteria for sterile processes: surfaces on the product side are polished, smooth and free of gaps, CIP/ SIP compliant and conform to FDA guidelines. They can be equipped with aseptic connections, e.g. to DIN 11851.

EagleBurgmann supply systems

Quench system Quench is the term commonly used in sealing technology for an arrangement that applies an un-pressurised external medium (liquid) to a mechanical seals sliding faces. The quench performs at least one of the following tasks: Absorption or removal of leakage by the quench medium n Monitoring of the mechanical seals leakage rate by periodic measurement of the level of the quench medium in the circulation vessel or thermosiphon vessel n Preventing of the contact between leakage and atmosphere for media which react undesirably with oxygen n Protection against dry running n Cooling n Lubrication
n

Closed circuit: Thermosiphon system / pressure booster or cooling circuit with refill unit Here, all the components are under the same pressure. They are pressurised via an external pressure source or nitrogen (TS system) via a refill system (SPN) or by the process pressure (DRU system). Before double seals start-up it is vital, to ensure a sufficient rate of circulation of the barrier liquid. The barrier liquid pressure should be 10 % or at least 1.5...2 bar above the maximum pressure to be sealed. To ensure that the sliding faces are lubricated well, the outlet temperature of the barrier medium must be regulated via the flow rate so that the boiling point of the barrier medium in the sealing gap is not exceeded at atmospheric pressure. The maximum acceptable inlet/outlet temperature differential is 15 K. The barrier liquid outlet is situated at the highest point of the seal chamber for automatic venting of any vapour. The basic operating conditions define the following functions of the supply system: Build-up pressure in the barrier interspace n Compensation of leakage n Circulation of the barrier medium n Cooling of the barrier medium n Cooling of the seal n Lubricating of the sliding faces
n

Glass-lined agitated tank for producing various intermediate products. Sealed with AGS, supplied with nitrogen via GSS4016 (background) and SP25 pressure booster pump (foreground).

Depending on the type of equipment in which they are used, and on the medium, mode of operation and environmental protection requirements, etc, agitator seals may need additional design features to ensure efficient operation. As the requirements on mechanical seal increase, their design, mode of operation and ultimately their supply systems are changing. The following pages show the most commonly used and proven supply systems used in state of the art sealing technology for agitator seals. Barrier or quench systems for liquid-lubricated single and multiple mechanical seals Mechanical seals can only be guaranteed to work efficiently if the space between the product and atmosphere side of the mechanical seal is completely filled with clean medium. The liquid reservoir may be un-pressurised or pressurised.
20

Supply systems Supply systems for liquid-lubricated mechanical seals can essentially be divided into two types: Open circuit: Buffer fluid system A circuit which provides both circulation and pressurisation via a supply system (e.g. EagleBurgmann SPA). The barrier medium is depressurised after it has circulated and is collected in an unpressurised tank.

EagleBurgmann DRU Pressure booster system With the DRU system it is possible to supply barrier fluid to double seals for a wide range of applications. It works similar than the TS system but, in this case, the barrier pressure is generated by the reference pressure (e.g. tank pressure) without additional superimposed nitrogen. Perm. operating temperature 60 ... +200 C (76 ... 392 F) Perm. operating pressure 63 bar (913 PSI) (DRU2063) Transmission ratio 1:1.1 or 1:1.5

Thermosiphon systems The EagleBurgmann TS system TS 1016 or TS 2000 is used to supply barrier fluid to double and tandem seal arrangement for a wide range of applications. TS vessels are equipped as standard with all the necessary connections and brackets. Additional components (e.g. circulating and refill pumps, measuring equipment, level switches and valve groups) may be installed as required. The vessel is used for storage, pressure maintenance and cooling of the quench or barrier liquid in the sealing circuit. Design, construction and production according to the EU Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC. All pressure-loaded welds are butt-welded or counter butt-welded by MIG and TIG process. Sockets with recessed gasket (no contamination of the circuit by thread sealant). Cooling water connections at top (Out) and bottom (In) for venting and draining.

supply system SPA 2000 for supplying an M481

Barrier pressure systems of the SPA series The basic version performs and fulfils all four tasks of a supply system essential for operating double seals: Circulation and cooling of the barrier medium, pressurisation of the barrier medium and compensation of leakage. EagleBurgmann SPA units have a high quality standard, are easy to operate and maintain, and are adaptable and rugged. Their function is based on the principle of the open circuit.

Supply systems of the SPN series with SPU These are automatic refill units with pressure switch (SPN 1000 series) or pressure control valve (3000 series) for manual barrier pressure regulation. The pressure control valve (SPN 3000 series) allows a constant barrier pressure irrespective of hysteresis-induced pressure fluctuations (hysteresis of the pressure switch). Temporary maintaining of the barrier pressure when the pump is switched off by the accumulator. Several outputs can be provided for setting different barrier pressures. The basic version of the automatic refill unit SPN only performs two of the four tasks of a barrier system, compared to an SPA: pressurisation of the barrier medium and compensation of leakage. The energy needed for pressurisation (piston pump) is supplied via a pneumatic and an electric drive, either in combination or individually. Separate components are installed in the seal barrier circuit to cool and circulate the barrier medium.
