Gestra’s flash vessels separate flash steam from condensate. Condensate is then returned and reused in steam generation and flash steam is fed into a steam system for further use in your steam process reducing energy cost.
Flash vessels considerably lower running costs by making especially cost-effective use of the heat from the condensate. They can be used in all steam systems in which flash steam can be recovered from steam consumers at a lower pressure. This process releases heat that gives rise to flash steam. In the flash vessel, this flash steam separates from the water and is fed into a steam system at low pressure for further use. Such a process can be repeated several times, depending on whether and how the steam system can be operated with different pressure ratings. The residual condensate in the flash tank is conveyed to a collection tank and reused as boiler feedwater
