    Project Brief

    Our remote area client required a custom leak seal solution to seal and stop a medium pressure Steam Leak while the plant remained on-line, under pressure and temperature.

    Leak sealing utilises specialist compounds and a mechanical retaining device to effect a seal. The process combines stringent procedures and risk assessments with highly experienced trained personnel and specialist equipment to ensure a safe process and an effective seal.


    Solution

    BLJ technicians were required to design and manufacture a clamp solution to meet clients specific application. They installed the peripheral seal clamp around the bonnet leak on the 6” 600# valve and utilised specialist compounds and a mechanical retaining device to effect a seal. Design Temp: 400 deg C. Design Pressure: 3800 Kpa.


    Results

    Leak sealing and repair was completed with clamps designed to ASME VIII or AS1210 design codes.

    This is a temporary fix to get the plant through to the next plant maintenance or scheduled shutdown, when the item is repaired or replaced to work within the clients timeframe and resources.

    We look forward to working with you.
