OPTISEAL Product Description The OptiSeal incorporates reliable vessel seal technology to meet stringent process requirements in today’s pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing environments. The innovative seal technology was designed with many features that can help users establish compliance with USP and BPE guidelines. The OptiSeal designed for glass-lined reactors was developed and tested in conjunction with A.W. Chesterton, one of the world’s leading seal manufacturers. The OptiSeal is available exclusively through De Dietrich Process Systems. 1 OptiSeal Advantages 2 The OptiSeal offers significant performance advantages over competitive seal technologies and users employing this technology are setting process performance benchmarks. OptiSeal technology has the lowest possible consumption/ leakage rate of nitrogen to process/atmosphere versus all other double seal technologies. Testing has shown that leakage/ consumption of the nitrogen barrier gas can range between zero (measurable) and .01 SCFH. However, while negligible leakage rates are achievable, equipment and operating conditions can also affect the leakage rates. 5 4 3 Performance Capabilities • • Operating pressure up to 100 psig in the seal housing Operating temperature from -20°F to 350°F (-29°C to 177°C) Operates in Full Vacuum conditions .01 SCFH/inch of shaft diameter leak rate is possible Applications outside of these ranges can be permissible, consult factory. • • • 6 PRODUCT FEATURES • • • • • • • No carbon dust contamination, eliminates process contamination from mechanical seal face wear True dry-running design, balanced double cartridge seal, can be run with a barrier fluid Designed to assist end users in complying with GMP standards Minimal maintenance after installation Cost effective Available with FDA compliant materials Designed to help provide sanitary integrity in CIP/ SIP processes and can be customized to suit specific requirements 1 Ceramic Sleeve 2 PTFE Sealing Element 3 Stainless Steel Metal Seal Housing 4 Ceramic Adapter 5 Ceramic Balance Piston 6 Agitator Shaft D014 4/2012 OPTISEAL Model Nom.
