Problems in steam condensate recovery
Thread Content
During the recovery of steam condensate on site, it is common to find that the medium recovered is steam rather than water. For example, when heating asphalt pipelines, the required temperature for the asphalt is 130 degrees, while the exhaust temperature from the traps is usually around 150 degrees. Some people suggest that the issue lies in the ineffective operation of the traps upstream, which results in too high a temperature of the gas being recovered. I would like to ask everyone: how do you handle this situation on site, where the conditions do not allow for reducing the temperature of the recovered gas through heat exchange?
The main reason for this is that the trap is damaged and cannot perform its function of draining water, which allows steam to leak out of the trap and results in an excessively high temperature of the recovered gas
Do you use open recycling or closed recycling?
