Steam injection heating is helpful in a variety of markets and industries, but each project is unique. At ProSonix, we've worked on projects of all sizes and levels of complexity. With that experience comes valuable knowledge. Our team is happy to share a few summaries from past projects which may help provide insight and ideas for your own application.
Boiler Feedwater
Power generating plants utilize steam boilers to produce electricity energy for their operation. These boilers often have feedwater heaters which are an integral part of the plant’s thermodynamic cycle. The presence of the heaters in the cycle improves the thermal efficiency of the power plant by lowering the amount of thermal energy required to generate a given amount of electrical by re-using produced steam in a heat exchanger to heat feedwater prior to the Deaerator.
Anaerobic Digestion and Wastewater
There are two general types of heating sludge digestion processes known as aerobic and anaerobic digestion. Aerobic uses oxygen and anaerobic is an oxygen free environment. Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that breaks down for organic solids. In this process wastewater sludge is stored in large vessels, referred to as digesters that range from 0.5 – 3.0 million gallons of storage capacity.
