How Smarter Seals Helped a LNG Producer Reduce Unplanned Downtime By 8 Days

2 Pages

This case study describes how an LNG producer used John Crane Sense® Turbo—dry gas seals with embedded sensors and online monitoring apps—to verify true seal health and avoid unnecessary compressor shutdowns. The system revealed that vibration alarms were unrelated to seal failure, allowing the plant to skip a full teardown. This reduced unplanned maintenance by eight days and saved $4 million in lost production, while improving MTBR and enabling predictive maintenance across multiple compressor trains.
