Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for in-pipe compression of a flow. The invention extends to apparatus for introducing a second flow into a first flow. The invention further extends to a seal assembly for sealing between a housing and a shaft rotatably mounted in the housing. The invention further extends to acoupling assembly between an output shaft of a motor, and an input shaft of a machine, the motor being contained in a sealed housing.
