New white paper

Implementing an effective feedwater storage system will help to avoid corrosion damage in the boiler and steam and condensate loop. It helps to ensure the entire steam system runs with minimum energy consumption and that modern package boilers are able to efficiently meet the fluctuating demands required by many of today’s industries. A well-designed feedwater storage system will also help protect a steam system operator’s capital investment by extending the lifetime of the plant.

The White Paper highlights new technologies that can help steam plant owners and operators to get the most from their steam boiler feedwater storage system. These include deaeration, a process of heating feedwater to remove oxygen from the feedwater. Deaeration substantially reduces the amount of oxygen-scavenging chemicals that need to be introduced into the feedwater system to help eliminate dissolved oxygen, reducing the cost of treatment chemicals.
 
It also describes two types of deaerator – atmospheric and pressurised – and explains how correctly specifying the right type can help steam system operators to achieve benefits such as: Greater energy efficiency, improved boiler efficiency, increased productivity, and reduced operating costs.

Finally, the White Paper invites steam system operators to take advantage of a professional survey of their installed feedwater storage system to ascertain the most effective ways to comply with industry best practice and Health & Safety legislation.
