A quick guide to condensate recovery | Plant Engineering

One of the best energy-saving measures for most steam systems is returning condensate to the boiler instead of dumping it to drain. Installing condensate recovery systems or enhancing existing systems are highly effective in improving steam plant efficiency. Here's an overview of condensate recovery and why it deserves your attention.

Introduction to Condensate Recovery

Reusing hot condensate can lead to considerable savings in terms of energy and water resources, as well as improve working conditions and reduce your plant's carbon footprint. Reduced Fuel Costs. Condensate contains a significant amount of sensible heat that can account for about 10% to 30% of the initial heat energy contained in the steam.

Condensate Recovery | Flash Steam

The condensate enters the steam trap as saturated water, at a gauge pressure of 7 bar g and a temperature of 170°C. The specific amount of heat in the condensate at this pressure is 721 kJ/kg. After passing through the steam trap, the pressure in the condensate return line is 0 bar g.

Flash Steam Recovery Using Condensate Tank Vent Condensers

The process fluid consumes the flash steam and allows the condensate to drain back into the condensate tank. Therefore, the flash steam is consumed and the condensate is recovered. In the case of a modulating steam process condition, the process steam system should use the lowest steam pressure, therefore producing the least amount of flash steam.
