Barrier gas installation. Externally supplied barrier gas is used to positively prevent process fluid from leaking into the atmosphere. Pressure of the barrier gas is higher than the medium pressure on the technological process side of the inner seal. Venting of the gland box may be required prior to start-up and operation, to avoid the collection of gas in the pump.
