Condensate Steam Systems
John Herbert
Director
Kelcroft's helps business assess the economics for condense in
steam systems.
Steam and Condensate systems are primarily used for energy in large
scale properties, including district heating systems, hospital,
healthcare, manufacturing, industrial process,catering, chemical,
and industrial sectors, but often the resulting condensate is
dumped as waste water.
In fact, the condensate produced by steam equipment is a
very valuable commodity, its already chemically treated, high
grade hot water about 80 degC, and if returned to the boiler it
can be reused in the steam boiler, significantly lowering fuel
consumption, reducing raw water usage, and the chemical
treatment that the raw water requires.
The condensate discharged from the process, is inherently hot,
so dumping condensate in to the drainage requires a extra
step. The hot condensate must be mixed with water to lower
the temperature needed to comply with the local regulations.
For example, in New York USA, mixing valves are installed
to cool the hot condensate before discharging into
the sewer.
Using condense water lowers your energy operating cost
that improves profitability, lowers water and
sewerage charges, therefore lowering your environmental
footprint also.
