Steam systems serve as the backbone of numerous industrial processes, providing the essential thermal energy required for a wide range of applications across various sectors. From powering machinery ...

This week, we're diving into the intricacies of high and low pressure condensate. Learn why it's crucial to keep them separated and their specific roles in steam systems. Safety notice: Always consult ...

A century-plus of steam-generated power production has shown the importance of water and steam chemistry. Just one boiler tube failure in a conventional unit or heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) ...

In previous Power Engineering articles, we examined the importance of trace iron monitoring to determine the extent of carbon steel corrosion in heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) condensate and ...

Steam distribution from the boiler to the points of end use should occur with minimal loss of energy. However, the total amount of steam distributed (figure 1) never matches the amount of steam coming ...

It is well-known that a conventional boiler or heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and related steam turbine have innumerable pieces all working in conjunction to produce the end product of electric ...

Notwithstanding the effects of erosion due to wet steam acceleration through bends in the pipework, clean high-quality steam is not normally chemically corrosive in its gaseous state. But when steam ...
