A future-proof industry today must focus on two factors in particular: efficiency and sustainability. From the food and beverage industry to the textile industry and parts of the pharmaceutical industry, companies benefit from the sustainable power of steam. To maximize their potential, choosing the right steam system plays a key role. We’ll show you what’s important.
Steam plants as a relevant cost factor in industry
Steam generators are used in many industries. The choice of the right system depends on, for example, the spatial conditions, the steam demand, and the individual requirements of the company.
A company with a particularly high steam demand, for example, can use a multiple steam system and thus harness the power of several steam boilers.
Those with limited space in the hall but a large outdoor area can work with a container steam system that is installed outdoors. Alternatively, there is the compact steam system, in which all components are perfectly coordinated, requiring a small footprint.
The advantage of correctly adapting the steam system to the spatial conditions in the company includes not only the saved usable space but also the reduced energy consumption, which is achieved through a small piping network.
The systems can also be combined depending on operational requirements. A compact steam system, for example, can always be configured as a multiple steam system. This means there is a suitable, customized solution for every company.
Energy efficiency also means operational efficiency
The current situation is also forcing industrial companies to rethink their processes. This has advantages, as technical modernization not only saves energy costs but also personnel resources. Therefore, it’s worth taking a closer look and considering: Where can electricity consumption be reduced or CO2 emissions saved? Can pressure degassing eliminate the use of chemicals, saving water and energy at the same time? How can installation and maintenance be simplified?
Clarifying these questions helps improve operational processes, not only before purchasing a new system, but also as a follow-up. It turns out that in the area of steam generation, environmentally friendly production can be accompanied by lower operating costs and greater efficiency. Anyone who familiarizes themselves with 7 simple tips for an energy-efficient steam supply can notice positive changes in their operating costs after just a short time.
Energy-efficient steam generation in practice
A look at theory and practice shows that effective production can also be economical. Specific applications, such as pm-innovative, a specialist in innovative knitwear, illustrate this clearly. The company opted for a compact steam system that consistently maintains a high steam pressure. Despite the consistently high output, the compact pipe network ensures energy savings, resulting in noticeable energy cost savings. In addition, intuitive operation saves time and thus personnel costs, as maintenance requires hardly any personnel resources. doemens academy reports a similar story, using the modern and easy-to-use design of its steam system as a showcase project for students.
A look at practice shows that clinging to outdated or unsuitable steam systems often causes unnecessary costs. Depending on the application, installing a new steam system is the most economical and sustainable approach to operation, after both the steam consumers and the steam network have been checked for efficiency. After all, what good is the best steam generator if the steam network is defective and losing energy?
