What size steam expander is required for 15 tons of condensate per hour? What is the cost of the accompanying equipment? How much benefit can be obtained? ? ? If there are similar modifications, please let me know. . .

The physical properties of the condensate from different hydrophobic sites vary. If condensate is recovered from locations with higher temperatures and pressures, a flashing effect may occur upon entry into the expansion vessel, thereby affecting the proper discharge of fluid through the pipelines at other recovery sites. It is recommended that the original poster consult a specialist in thermal engineering to discuss the matter based on the actual conditions.
Yeah, this one condition of yours is hard to calculate, right?
For the flash tank, it is also necessary to know the temperature of the incoming water, the expected operating pressure of the tank, and the possible amount of flash vapor; with this information, it is possible to estimate the tank volume, which is likely to be between 5 and 10 cubic meters.
The pressure and temperature before expansion, as well as the pressure after expansion, need to be provided.
