Steam-System Water Preparation
Supplying steam that meets process needs while protecting steam-system components, such as boilers and steam turbines (Figure 1), against scale, fouling and corrosion, requires purified feedwater (condensate plus makeup water). Depending on the steam pressure required, the specific approach of the water treatment may be shifted to account for a variety of issues. For example, caustic corrosion and...

Applying ASME Boiler Code to Steam Generation Systems
The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME BPVC), which is administered by ASME (New York, N.Y.; www.asme.org; founded as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers), is a well-established standard for the design and fabrication of boilers and pressure vessels. ASME code-symbol stamps show compliance with the requirements of the standard, but code stamping of steam systems in ethylene and other large...

A Steamy Situation
Today’s chemical processors must cope with rising labor costs, increasing global competition, escalating fuel costs and more-stringent safety and environmental regulations. To improve productivity and reduce costs in today’s competitive environment, many facilities are operating leaner than even before. And, downsizing strategies have seen the reduction of maintenance staff, which often results...

Dynamic Modeling for Steam System Control
One of the most energy-intensive utilities for many facilities in the chemical process industries (CPI) is the steam system. Traditionally, steam-use optimization has centered on efficient heat transfer and eliminating waste [ 1]. Further optimization can involve a broader look at how steam supply and consumption interact dynamically throughout a large complex. This type of optimization often results in...

Detecting steam-trap leaks gets easier
Steam traps are designed to allow condensate, but not steam, to escape from a steam line. When they malfunction, however, numerous costly consequences can result including energy losses, insufficient heating to processes, maintenance issues and more. At its Global Users Exchange in late October...

Steam generator operation and thermodynamics
A well-operated steam generator can save money. In a steam-driven turbine system, water is heated in the steam generator to produce high-temperature, high-pressure steam. Steam is then expanded in a turbine to produce electricity from a generator. Turbine steam is condensed back into water in the condenser. A pump then returns the water to the steam generator. Engine thermodynamics Theoretically, the most...

Court decision indicates that EPA's Boiler MACT stay is at risk, ACC says
Yesterday, U.S. District Court judge Paul Friedman denied a legal motion by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA; Washington, D.C.; www.epa.gov) that would have prevented environmental groups from challenging EPA's stay of proposed changes to the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standard for industrial boilers. While the decision was procedural, it suggests to ACC that the stay is...

Boiling uncertainty
Last year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA;Washington, D.C.; www.epa.gov) proposed new emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted by industrial boilers and solid-waste incinerators (CISWI) based on the performance of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The so-called “boiler MACT” final rules were signed by the EPA Administrator on February 21...
