The scope of the program consists of the following tasks: (1) Task 1A, survey of current practices for centrifugal and reciprocating coal slurry pump seals; (2) Task 1B, preliminary evaluation of three alternative centrifugal and reciprocating fluid seal concepts; (3) Task 2, detail evaluation of the best two centrifugal and reciprocating fluid seal concepts; (4) Task 3A, design and fabrication of the selected centrifugal and reciprocating fluid seal concept. Design and fabrication of the centrifugal and reciprocating seal testers; (5) Task 3B, laboratory seal testing of the centrifugal and reciprocating fluid seals; (6) Task 4, field testing of the centrifugal and reciprocating fluid seals. Tasks 1 and 2 have been completed. The technical results were reported in the interim technical reports. Task 3A is in process. Design of the selected fluid seal concepts and the design requirements to modify field type pumps for the seal testers was completed during the previous period. 12 figs., 9 tabs.
