CobaDGS - Zero Emission Solution

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document outlines the features and benefits of the CobaDGS, a zero-emission sealing solution designed to reduce methane and process gas emissions in compressors. It highlights the technical specifications, materials used, and the environmental impact of methane emissions.

Features and Advantages
The CobaDGS is a dry gas seal that eliminates methane emissions even under high pressure. It is suitable for upgrading existing compressors or for new installations. Key features include:
  • Gas-lubricated and bi-directional design
  • Ready-to-fit cartridge unit
  • Available in single and tandem seal arrangements
  • Co-axial primary seal with optional separation seals
  • Supplied with clean nitrogen, avoiding dew point and dirt issues
  • Robust and offers higher safety than double seals
  • No compressor modification required
  • Efficient alternative to hermetically sealed systems

Technical Specifications
  • Shaft diameter: 25 to 350 mm
  • Pressure: Vacuum to 160 bar
  • Temperature: -46°C to +230°C
  • Sliding velocity: Up to 140 m/s
Materials include silicon carbide with optional DLC or DiamondFace coatings, FKM or other elastomers, and stainless steel.

Environmental Impact
Methane is a significant contributor to climate change, with a warming potential 80 times higher than CO2. The energy industry is a major emitter, and reducing methane emissions can have a positive business case.

Applications
The CobaDGS is recommended for use in pipelines, gas storages, the oil and gas industry, chemical industry, power plants, centrifugal compressors, turbo expanders, turbines, pumps, and blowers.

Optional Features
A high-pressure nitrogen generator is available, which uses pressure swing adsorption for nitrogen generation and storage. This system is beneficial for remote locations, ensuring a continuous nitrogen supply.

Conclusion
The CobaDGS offers a sustainable and efficient solution for reducing methane emissions in various industrial applications, providing both environmental and economic benefits.

Dimensions on request Standards and approvals • NACE • API 692 Notes Notes/Info Methane Emissions* Methane is the second largest contributor to climate change after CO2. Methane is emitted in smaller quantities than CO2, but it's warming potential is 80 times higher. Behind agriculture, the energy industry is the largest emitter of methane emissions. A convincing argument for action According to the International Energy Agency around 40-50% of current methane emissions from the oil & gas industry could be avoided at negative or at no net cost. This means that many projects to avoid methane emissions even have a positive business case and pay back in a relatively short time because the gas can be sold instead. If all these possible projects would be realized the impact on climate change would be immensely positive.

CobaDGS - Zero Emission Solution-4

Optionally available High pressure nitrogen generator On-site generation of nitrogen Ensures continuous, uninterrupted nitrogen supply Solves the logistics problem, especially for sites in remote, hard-to-reach areas. No more hassle transporting the nitrogen. Nitrogen generation is based on pressure swing adsorption. Storage at 330 bar - for intermittent generation/compression and back-up supply - then reduction to the required pressure. The complete nitrogen production and supply system comes in a container which should be installed out of ATEX area. Required power supply: Heavy current, 400V,...
