Condensate recovery
Thread Content
In the plant’s condensate recovery system, the temperature and pressure of the condensate at various discharge points vary; this condensate flows into the main pipeline and then enters the water treatment unit, where flash vapor is generated, causing vibrations in the pipes. I would like to ask the experts if there are any effective ways to address the issue of vibration in these condensate pipes.
Entering the condensate tanks separately should solve it
Under saturated operating conditions, flashing is almost unavoidable; the only solution is to reinforce the pipes. If the distance is very large, it is also possible to consider adding a cooler before sending the fluid onward.
First, it enters a collection tank, and then the soda is sent to the workshop
Pipelines are spread throughout the plant area; the temperature and pressure of the condensate vary, making it difficult to eliminate issues in these pipes. What about adding some cold desalinated water?
For systems under high pressure, a gas-liquid separation unit should be installed before the condensate enters the pipeline network.
If back pressure permits, an orifice plate is added at the end to reduce flashing.
Condensate is recovered and cooled in separate sections, with pressure enhancement
