The Problem

A client faced critical issues with their existing waterjet propulsion system due to significant wear on internal components, which compromised sealing performance. Additionally, key structural elements, including the aluminum flange, were damaged or broken, impacting the system’s integrity and operational efficiency.


Client Impact

These failures resulted in the inability to reinstall the shaft seal system, leading to operational downtime. Furthermore, the client lacked manufacturer support to address the problem effectively. Compounding the issue, they required a comprehensive maintenance solution for their entire propulsion system, which called for specialized expertise and technical support.

The Solution

To address these challenges, the existing sealing system was replaced with a PSS Flange System and a PSS Type B Shaft Seal—chosen for its robust design, reliability, and compatibility with the propulsion system.


"This upgrade not only resolved the structural and sealing inefficiencies but also provided a modern, easily maintainable solution for the client’s operations."
