A sealing arrangement for use in a gas delivery system to a rotating tubular member has first and second disposable seals spaced apart to form a sealed buffer zone within the rotating tube. A supply coupling is connectable to a source of buffer gas and has an insert member which has one or more channels for routing the buffer gas into the buffer zone. The supply coupling is also connectable to a low pressure source and the insert member has one or more channels for routing the gases contained in the buffer zone out of the zone to the supply coupling, thus creating a continuous circulation of buffer gases.
