KNOWLEDGE

How to create & maintain efficient steam systems

BOILER:

•Operate Boiler close to design pressure

•Maintain Feed water treatment

•Keeping the feed water hot

•How to create and maintain efficient steam systems

•Correct Boiler blowdown

•DISTRIBUTION:

•Correct sized pipes, with fall in flow directions

•Adequate condensate drain points, Air Vents

•Insulation and appropriate lagging

•CONTROL SYSTEMS:

•Should support your production process, Valves sized to

•pass required flow at allowable pressure drop,

•Check noise level

•REMOVE CONDENSATE:

•Select Steam Traps to support your process application

•Example; Steam controlled & high back pressure = PUMP-TRAP

•RECOVER CONDENSATE:

•Return condensate to your Feed water system

•Clean hot condensate, reduces cost - increase efficiency

•FLASH STEAM:

•Pressurised, high temperature condensate can generate

•‘FREE’ low pressure steam

•MAINTENANCE:

•Faulty Valves and Steam Traps reduce productivity, general Steam leaks

•are not only a Health and Safety issue, but wasted energy.

BETTER & CLEANER STEAM PLANT PERFORMANCE

Common Short Comings in Steam Systems

1. Incorrect installation of pipes

2. Incorrect pipe sizes

3. Unlagged pipes

4. Incorrect Air / Condensate drainage

5. Steam leaks

Production Losses

Only Dry saturated steam delivers effective energy

Excess condensate & Air in the steam pipes can reduce the

steam temperature by up to 10%.

Example

10Bar saturated dry steam = 184degC

10Bar “wet steam” = 166degC

Monthly publication A04 / November 2003 STEAM TRAP - IMPORTANT PROCESS STEAM SYSTEM EQUIPMENT

A steam system that has not been maintained for a period of time undoubtedly will have a significant number of steam traps that have failed. One of the main

causes of trap failure is due to the dirt created from chemical treatments and or pipe scaling, These contaminants carried through the piping system eventually collect at the trap and cause problems, in most cases, prevents the valve from

closing, allowing live steam to escape into the condensate return line or atmosphere.

Another costly mistake is the incorrect selection of steam traps that can have

an adverse effect on maintaining required process temperatures. These conditions not only waste energy, but also negatively affect overall cost.

A routine preventive maintenance program should be implemented to preclude any waste of energy, efficiency and dollars. If the maintenance department is unable to perform the steam survey, STEAM LINK can assist with training or

conduct a steam system survey.

Using the TLV – TRAPMAN – Steam trap testing system, our technician can detect correct working, blocked, leaking or blowing steam traps. Upon

detection, the bad trap is recorded and a cost analysis is generated. Whether large or small, companies will find increased energy savings and

reduced production cost with a vigilant steam system preventive maintenance program.

Steam Energy Wasted

10 Metres of 50mm unlagged pipe at 10bar wasting 10kg of steam/hr = 5kw

LEAKING STEAM TRAPS 2mm whole in the steam pipe at 10bar

wasting 20kg of steam/hr = 10kw

In QLD alone there are over 500+ steam plants

Based on a plant operating

You’re Products, the Company and the People associated with it are all judged on PERFORMANCE. To reach and maintain the high level of presentation to attract the target client base, who perceive your product as value for money and have the funds to purchase, you implement and monitor reference points. This will enable you to react quickly to any changes effecting your market position.

Rising energy cost, required waste reduction and greenhouse emission targets, warrant the capital expenditure to monitor the performance of the production

PROCESS ENERGY - STEAM –

The process steam systems sole purpose is to supply your production process with the

required effective energy, on demand. Steam is a proven energy medium, easy to control, but with no reference points or benchmarks in place, how can you compare, check performance and quantify cost efficiency?

Today’s process plant installations and modern high capacity machinery is expensive. Uninterrupted production runs are expected to recoup investment. To achieve this, your process steam installation must be up to the task. A costly exercise if your steam system cannot supply energy as required.

Inspection and assessment of your steam system can provide you with basic data to

create your check points. We can even design a “Tune Up” plan for your steam system. This has the same effect as it has on your car; less energy required (improved productivity), predictable system performance (precise control) and reduced Greenhouse Gas Emission.

YOU TO CAN ACHIEVE, COST CONTROL AND IMPROVED PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE!
