International packaging and paper group Mondi is replacing quench-to-drain flushing and lubricating systems fitted to mechanical seals at its Richards Bay mill with AESSEAL® systems incorporating a continuous loop water management design.
The AESSEAL® systems will cut water usage at the plant by more than 60 000 kilolitres per month, helping to conserve scarce water resources in northern KwaZulu-Natal.
Mondi placed its order for replacement systems in February on fluid sealing and wear resistance company Easy Coat, the AESSEAL® agent for Richards Bay. The order provides for 167 AESSEAL® type-SW2 and SW3 water management systems that will use recycled water to cool, lubricate and flush mechanical seals in the Richards Bay plant. They will replace a competitor’s once-through flushing designs that need a constant supply of fresh water.
