Condensate and flash-steam recovery

Return hot condensate or use flash steam where the receiving system can accept it.

Start with site dataOpen the assessment tools
01

What the measure changes

Return hot condensate or use flash steam where the receiving system can accept it.

02

Evidence required

Condensate mass flow, pressure, temperature, contamination risk, current return rate, receiving duty and operating schedule.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment
Equipment heat loss

Measure exposed hot surfaces

Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.

  • Design target: surface temperature at or below 45 °C, subject to the application and design review
  • Claimed heat-loss reduction: up to 96%, subject to the measured boundary and insulation specification
  • Removable construction for inspection and maintenance access
  • Calculation record available for the selected equipment and operating conditions

Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.

03

Constraints and risks

Contamination, water hammer, back-pressure and incompatible operating schedules can invalidate a simple heat balance.

04

Possible applications

Sector membership does not establish feasibility. Confirm the actual process duty.
