The MagTecta-OM is a face seal that prevents oil mist pollution and has applied to thousands of pieces of equipment in the hydrocarbon processing industry.

The unique inboard face of the MagTecta-OM allows oil mist to enter through its face grooves. Once inside, the oil mist liquefies to provide an oil splash environment at the external seal faces. This provides seal face lubrication, making the MagTecta-OM ideally suited for this environment.

Features:

• Unique oil mist collecting and retainment system for improved seal life
• Sizes available from 0.750” to 5.875” (16mm – 145mm) larger sizes 6.000” to 12.000” (150mm – 300mm) also available on request

MagTecta-OM— Oil Mist Applications
The Modern API Compliant and Environmentally Friendly Option

In most modern day refineries, oil mist is the preferred method of bearing lubrication. Many refineries however, rely upon labyrinth technology which requires the oil mist to leak out and contaminate the surrounding area. In many parts of the world, this practice is not
viewed as environmentally acceptable. Because labyrinth seals leak, refineries usually over-compensate the supply of oil mist, by a factor of four to maintain pressure.This means wasted energy and loss of oil mist, both of which are expensive.
The MagTecta-OM is designed specifically for oil mist recirculation applications: Minimizing leakage into the environment so there is no need for over compensation of oil mist supply. Costs therefore reduce. The MagTecta-OM is also suitable for use on oil splash lubrication, especially at higher shaft speeds. The MagTecta-OM cannot use if the oil mist system design to leak through
a labyrinth seal and pollute the environment.

API Compliant
API 610 (ISO 13709) considered by many to be the premium equipment specification
for centrifugal pumps in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.
Since the 10th edition the standard recognizes the need for proper bearing protection:
5.10.2.7 “Bearing housings shall be designed to prevent contamination by moisture, dust
and other foreign matter. Also Bearings shall equipp with replaceable type labyrinth
or magnetic type seals. Lip-seals shall not use.”
