The following outlines water treatment requirements at different steam pressures and some of the important reactions at high- and low-pressure ranges.... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/thermal_and_energy_mgmt/boilers_and_steam_handling/10176.html Fri, 1 Feb 2013 0:00:00 EST The main focus of the ASME boiler code is on power boilers, rather than on petroleum refinery or petrochemical heaters, so definitions are sometimes not clear. Furthermore, it can be difficult to define which authority has jurisdiction over steam generation systems in the CPI. Even in the U.S. This article provides guidance on the requirements for stamping within the ASME code and explains how state boiler codes can affect the requirements... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/thermal_and_energy_mgmt/boilers_and_steam_handling/10086.html Tue, 1 Jan 2013 0:00:00 EST 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... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/thermal_and_energy_mgmt/boilers_and_steam_handling/9765.html Mon, 1 Oct 2012 0:00:00 EDT The RediHeat instantaneous water heater can produce hot water instrantly within ±4F of the set temperature under widely varying demands.

The valves provide an alternative to the... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/thermal_and_energy_mgmt/boilers_and_steam_handling/9657.html Sat, 1 Sep 2012 0:00:00 EDT 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 increased interconnectivity and interdependency. Many CPI facilities have a central steam-production area containing boilers and boiler feedwater treatment, as well as additional steam generators scattered throughout the facility (for example in the petroleum refining sector there are ethylene and catalytic cracking units). If a facility is built in several stages, as is often the case, steam generating systems may be separated by considerable distances. Over these distances, the stability of the integrated steam system could be jeopardized by inappropriate control strategies. How should one go about setting up a control strategy and verifying that it is stable and appropriate for a particular complex?... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/thermal_and_energy_mgmt/boilers_and_steam_handling/9388.html Fri, 1 Jun 2012 0:00:00 EDT The P46S steam trap is the newest model in this company’s PowerDyne product line. The design is said to optimize durability, energy efficiency and reliability. The design of... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/thermal_and_energy_mgmt/boilers_and_steam_handling/9279.html Tue, 1 May 2012 0:00:00 EDT 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... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/thermal_and_energy_mgmt/boilers_and_steam_handling/8728.html Thu, 1 Dec 2011 0:00:00 EST
