Thermal recovery package
Flash separation and condensate recovery brought into one skid so both the flash steam and the hot condensate are returned to use.
The application
High-pressure condensate being let down to a lower pressure, flashing at the receiver and venting to atmosphere, with the hot condensate underneath it going to drain.
What was engineered
A skid-mounted package combining flash separation, condensate collection and pumping, with the recovered flash routed to a suitable low-pressure user and the remaining condensate returned to the boiler house.
Result on the plant
Flash steam put back to work instead of vented, and treated condensate returned rather than made up. Recovered energy is quantified per installation from the operating conditions before and after.
