Electrical energy savings
Published: 20 June, 2014
SPIRAX SARCO says its new White Paper explains how microturbine technology can deliver substantial electrical energy savings for steam system operators.
The company says the White Paper provides a clear and easy-to-understand guide to this technology and highlights the cost and energy savings that steam system operators can expect to achieve by using microturbines.
Most steam systems raise higher pressure steam in the boiler, then reduce the pressure before the point-of-use.
By using a microturbine, the steam is reduced to the required pressure as it travels through the turbine, with the energy released by the pressure drop being used to generate electricity.
The electricity produced can be used locally, for example to run pumps or other equipment, or exported to the power grid, cutting utility bills and overall carbon footprint.

With the launch of the its B850 Flow Computer, SPIRAX SARCO says steam system operators can now accurately measure true boiler efficiency without the need for Building Management or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems that can be costly and time consuming to implement.
An infra-red system from HERAEUS NOBLELIGHT has reportedly dramatically reduced energy costs in the coating of board for food packaging at the Stroud factory of The Olympic Varnish Company.
WOOD WASTE TECHNOLOGY says Putzmaus is a precision-engineered tube-cleaning system that has been designed to increase boiler efficiency and reduce fuel-consumption, saving money on both energy and repair costs, whilst also saving time on routine-maintenance.
BOFA INTERNATIONAL says industrial laser operators can now benefit from the most powerful fume extraction system ever manufactured.
