Solution
Forbes Marshall carried out a detailed study of the plant, determined areas of concern and redesigned the entire steam system.
Following changes were implemented in the new design :
SteaMon vortex flowmeter for steam flow monitoring incorporated.
The 26 MF dryers were divided into 06 thermal groups, with 06 individual pressure control stations and PID-based control valves.
Steam header for thermal groups equipped with compact module thermodynamic trap, air vent, pressure gauge and piston valve.
Each of the MF dryers equipped with a complete single orifice float trap based steam trapping solution.
Separate flash vessels to optimize flash steam recovery at pre-section and post-section.
Multivalve steam operated condensate pump MV55 to pump hot condensate.
