Urgently ask again: Should a steam-water separation tank be used for the 1.0MPa steam output from the unit?

My unit supplies steam to the system via a separation tank, and the system units pass across the separation tank, right? What is the reason?
The turbine driving the cycle hydrogen compressor in our facility is powered by 3.5 MPa steam, with a back pressure of 1.0 MPa steam in the downstream side. There is an excess amount of 1.0 MPa steam available in this facility, and all of this excess steam is discharged into the system. As for our unit, I personally believe that not installing a steam-water separator for 1.0 MPA steam has no impact on our unit. Personally, I suggest that you measure the temperature of the steam before it reaches your 1.0MPA output device. The saturated temperature of steam at 1.0MPA is 180°C; if the temperature at your 1.0MPA output device is 240°C, then there is basically no problem.
My catalytic unit doesn’t have a steam-water separator for the steam being sent out
It depends on where it will be used, for example, in the stripping section of a settler or in a steam-water separator.
I installed a 1.0 MPa steam delivery system that passes through a liquid separation tank, because only by using this process can I monitor the flow rate of my steam based on the direction indicated by the instrument orifice plates.
Our unit is equipped with a water separator when 1.0 Mpa steam is supplied to it
Specifically, it comes down to the steam temperature; if the temperature of the steam being sent out is high, then there’s no need to add anything. However, since externally supplied saturated steam always contains some water, it is necessary to add something in such cases
The steam sent out from the catalytic unit does not have a steam-water separator
Check the temperature; at 1 MPa, if it’s above 180 degrees, it’s not suitable. Use for temperatures below 180 degrees.
