John Crane already provides SK Advanced with its entire installed base of dry gas seals. This latest GSMP contract is to provide maintenance and refurbishment of these seals. Maintaining dry gas seals in the field can be difficult due to the harsh environments in which industrial processes operate.
The maintenance program is gearing up to two significant ‘turnaround’ events for SK Advanced. These are scheduled events where a process unit of the industrial plant is taken offline for maintenance, inspection, and upgrades. For SK Advanced, 10 of its Dry Gas Seals are scheduled for turnaround in 2024, and another 10 four years later, in 2028.
Bernard Cicut, president of John Crane, said: “We are proud that John Crane is trusted by SK Advanced to ensure the stability and reliability of its critical plant equipment. We know this will enable maximum productivity and efficiency. We are looking forward to supporting SK Advanced and serving other customers in the region.”
