Products
Name: RST Series Mechanical Seals - P838
Description: The P838 series is a heavy duty single cartridge seal intended to provide an excellent sealing performance for pumps. As one of the member of RST Mechanical Seals, it is designed to operate in a wide range of process fluids.
Details:
P838 particularly exhibits high performance in the operation of critical process fluids of hydrocarbon, boiler feed water, sour gas, propane and butane, non-flashing hydrocarbon and flashing hydrocarbon. The improvements in design reliability and robustness are made possible by the utilization of sophisticated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engineering Software. These features are further verified by the usage of ProEight’s high-end testing equipment, the patented mechanical seal static tester – AccuTEST and mechanical seal dynamic tester – AccuDYN (Patent Pending). Coupled with added interchangeable feature, P838 series seals are able to fit in various conditions, wider range of operating pressures, temperatures and process fluids. This concept ensures that the P838 series seal requires only minimum change-out on its seal face to suit these conditions, eliminating the need to redesign a completely different mechanical seal configuration.
Name: RST Series Mechanical Seals - P878
Description: The P878 series is a dual unpressurized cartridge seal intended to provide an excellent sealing performance for pumps. As one of the member of RST Mechanical Seals, it is designed to operate in a wide range of process fluids.
Details:
P878 particularly exhibits high performance in the operation of critical process fluids of lubrication fluids, aqueous solutions, chemicals, light hydrocarbons and water services. The improvements in design reliability and robustness are made possible by the utilisation of sophisticated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engineering Software. These features are further verified by the usage of ProEight’s high-end testing equipment, the patented mechanical seal static tester – AccuTEST and mechanical seal dynamic tester – AccuDYN (Patent Pending). This concept ensures that the P878 series seal requires only minimum change-out on its seal face to suit these conditions, eliminating the need to redesign a completely different mechanical seal configuration. To cope with temperature sensitive environment, Low-temperature Inducing Face, ARCAF is designed for this particular need. ARCAF can be interchanged with other RST Standard Faces to suit other different operating conditions.

The Seal Deal
ProEight has investedin research and development focused on mechanical seals, and has developed and patented its own mechanical seal design, the only company to do so in Asia. ProEight exemplifies a small, but growing, cadre of innovative Malaysia’s engineering and oilfield services companies. It specialises in marine engineering and equipment manufacturing for the oil and gas industry. ProEight has simplified the mechanical seals’ design by reducing the number of internal components. This designsimplification minimises the number of failure points, thus resulting in an increase in seal reliability and performance. Mechanical seals are among the most integral components of pumps in upstream and downstream operations, preventing leaks. Seals designed to last longer than one year present advantages to operating expenditure arising out of maintenance and replacement. ProEight's adoption of computer numerical control manufacturing machines in the facilities havereduced the turnaround time of mechanical seals from 48 hours to 30 minutes, while making the seals more tailored to operators’ needs and specifications. By employing 3D computer-aided design technology and intelligent manufacturing, in five years the company has reduced the cycle from design of the product to installation to just within 24 hours. This lean production chain complements operators’ desire to trim capital expenditure on stock. These innovations in speed of manufacturing, delivery and fast engineering services have resulted in zero stock keeping in mechanical seals parts for operators. The innovations in research and development has resulted in several patents registered, and mechanical seals design that is robust and reliable, complementing the operators’ need to increase equipment Mean Time Between Failures. Uptake of new technology or innovation in the oil and gas industry is often slow at first, but with complimentary value-added services such as state-of-the-art computer-aided engineering analysis and advanced testing facilities, ProEight is able to swiftly expedite mechanical seal related services. With an international ambition, the company is venturing abroad, together as a supplier to PETRONAS, and other international oil company operated in countries such as Thailand, Turkmenistan and Oman. While many innovators fear imitation, ProEight invites adoption of its design with the aim of becoming the new industry standard and join the top five leading mechanical seal manufacturers over the medium term.The Company’s investment in innovation of its product, Engineering research and development, and the production process has captured the attention of the largest operator in the country – PETRONAS Carigali. ProEight and PETRONAS Carigali penned a five plus two year agreement for the former to supply, install and refurbish the national exploration and production giant’s mechanical seals. In 2011, the company was awarded the Most Promising Vendor Award among PETRONAS Vendor Development Program member companies. The government has also recognised the firm’s achievement, with ProEight winning the Most Innovative SME Company and Best Company in Manufacturing Innovation in 2011.
Speed and innovation vital for successful business
Speed is of the essence to any business. Meeting consumer needs in the shortest timespan coupled with the right products is one of the corner stones for a successful venture. ProEight adopts the blue ocean strategy where speed in the delivery of products is the hallmark of its success. This strategy is about creating uncontested market space compared to the red ocean strategy, which is a more conventional approach to business by beating the competition in an established sector. The company, which started 13 years ago as a consulting engineering company, now manufactures mechanical seals, journal bearings and pumps mainly for the oil and gas sector. ProEight commands about 95% of the domestic market in the mechanical seals segment and is setting an ambitious target of capturing 30% of the global market in the next 10 years. ProEight, a leading Malaysian mechanical seals and post-installation support provider of flow solution products and services in Asia Pacific, has grown as a leader in the industry under the Petronas Vendor Development Program. ProEight will continue to innovate and improvise our products and participating in such an event and winning the award is a recognition for us to improve further.
