API Plan 52

Non pressurized buffer fluid circulation in outboard seal of a dual seal configuration through a seal system.

Neither process contamination occure Nor direct process leakage to atmosphere if used Plan 52 seal support system

In Piping Plan 52 there is an external reservoir providing buffer liquid for the outer seal of an Arrangement 2 seal. The buffer liquid shall be maintained at a pressure less than seal chamber pressure and less than 0.28 MPa (2.8 bar) (40 psi).

Buffer liquid is circulated to and from the reservoir by means of an internal circulating device. To maximize buffer liquid circulation, the piping losses should be minimized through the proper selection of pipe size, elimination of fittings, use of large radius bends, and reduction in the length of piping runs.

Piping Plan 52 works best with clean, nonpolymerizing, pure products that have a vapor pressure higher than the buffer system pressure. Leakage of higher vapor pressure process liquids into the buffer system will flash in the seal reservoir and the vapor can escape to the collection system.
