Condensate Recovery in a Plant and its Improvement
Condensate recovery systems help us reduce three tangible costs of producing steam: • Fuel/energy costs • Boiler water make-up and sewage treatment • Boiler water chemical treatment The amount of steam generated and the condensate recovered was calculated for the plant. These values were used to find out the Condensate Recovery Factor (CRF) which can be defined as the ratio of the amount of condensate recovered to the amount of steam generated. This paper concentrates on the condensate recovery factor calculation of a Distilled Fatty Acid (DFA) Plant and its improvement by suggesting various methods.
