High Pressure Condensate Recovery System — Recovering Energy Your Steam System is Currently Wasting
In industrial steam systems, condensate returned from process equipment carries significant thermal energy — typically at temperatures between 80°C and 150°C. When this condensate is discharged to drain instead of being recovered, three things are wasted simultaneously: fuel, treated water, and water treatment chemicals.
SEACPL designs and supplies high-pressure condensate recovery systems that collect condensate from high-pressure process applications and return it efficiently to the boiler feedwater circuit — recovering energy before it is lost.
The Business Case:
• Fuel savings: Hot condensate requires significantly less energy to convert back to steam
• Water savings: Reduces makeup water requirement and associated treatment costs
• Chemical savings: Treated condensate contains minimal dissolved solids — less chemical dosing required
• Extended boiler life: Cleaner, hotter feedwater reduces thermal stress and scale formation
• Reduced blowdown: Lower dissolved solids means less blowdown required — further fuel saving
Most plants recover less than 40% of available condensate. A single assessment can identify how much your plant is currently losing — and what recovery is worth in rupees per year. Contact SEACPL for a complimentary review.
