DESIGN ENGINEERING
Steam and condensate system design requires in-depth understanding of the numerous interacting factors which have to be considered for long term, trouble-free operation.
While many of our projects have heat recovery as their focal point, often other operational and maintenance issues come to light once a plant modification is looked at in detail.
We can assist with providing design input into any size project, from commercial laundries to utility power stations.
Typical design applications have included:
-
Elimination of chronic steam leaks caused by less than ideal piping layout.
-
Redesign of condensate return piping to eliminate waterhammer problems.
-
Design of flash steam utilisation schemes.
-
Pump selection for low NPSH applications typical for condensate return.
-
Integration of boiler TDS control with boiler water sampling and chemical dosing.
-
Design of single or multi-loop PID and digital control systems, particularly for boiler drum level, steam pressure and temperature control.
