If the amount of dissolved solids is too high, scaling will occur throughout the steam system.
There are many impacts, including:
Heat transfer efficiency decreases and fuel costs increase
As more maintenance is required, the number of times to repair shutdowns increases and the cost increases
The heat transfer efficiency of key processes decreases and the production efficiency decreases
GESTRA's BAE valves are equipped with wear-resistant nozzles that are designed and looked to allow for continuous blowdown.
This is a reliable solution for a large number of continuous blowdowns and can handle boiler blowdowns at high differential pressure.
