From generation to distribution to utilization and back to the boiler — Spirax Sarco has the answer

Boiler Controls & SystemsRequirements for greater productivity have led to increasing boiler house automation and limited levels of supervision. Spirax Sarco has developed a range of boiler controls that improve levels of both efficiency and safety in the boiler house. • Surface (TDS) Blowdown Systems • High and Low Level Alarm Systems• On/Off and Modulating Level Controls • Boiler Bottom Blowdown System • Condensate Contamination Detection Systems • By measuring boiler water conductivity, Spirax Sarco surface blowdown systems provide automatic TDS control. The same operating principle is used to monitor and control retuning condensate lines ensuring contaminated condensate is not retuned to the boiler house.• Using “state-of-the-art” conductivity and capacitance probes, Spirax Sarco systems provide automatic On/Off and Modulating level controls for boilers, deaerators, feedwater tanks, etc.• High integrity, self-monitoring level alarm systems incorporating conductivity probes offer low maintenance, high and low alarms that provide warnings of system faults and allow safe shutdown of plant. These systems are suitable for steam boilers, particularly for those operating with only limited supervision, and can be used with other vessels.

Available in cast iron or fabricated steel (ASME code stamped) with stainless steel internals and stainless steel check valves. The rugged body allows a maximum pressure of 125-300 psig. This system solution saves energy and provides optimum system efficiency with low maintenance. • Pressure Powered Pump • Packaged Pressure Powered Pumps• High Capacity Pressure Powered Pump • Electric Pumps

• Combined Automatic Pump Traps For easy installation, Pressure Powered Pump packaged units are pre-piped and combine any Pressure Powered Pump, with a receiver, strainer, isolation valves and traps as requested. Electric pumps are packaged units, assembled, wired and tested. Electric condensate return pumps are available in simplex units with an integral float switch or a mechanical alternator on the duplex units.

High Purity ProductsAvoidance of the risk of contamination across many industries has resulted in a growing need for clean steam, pure steam and water of WFI (Water For Injection) quality. Products suitable for these high purity systems must be designed and manufactured to a high standard to ensure compliance with the exacting rules and regulations set for example by the biopharmaceutical and healthcare industries. Spirax Sarco’s extensive range of high purity products extends from generation through distribution to usage.• Sanitary control and instrumentation• Pure and clean steam trapping• Sanitary ancillary products• Fabrication and service

TrainingYears of accumulated experience has enabled the development and nurturing of in-depth expertise for the proper control and conditioning of steam. Experienced field personnel work closely with design, operations, and maintenance engineers, continuously evaluating ways to improve productivity. Often, these solutions pay for themselves many times over.

The four U.S. training centers located in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and Columbia, SC., have on-site steam systems providing hands-on training. Education programs include the theory of steam, the application of steam products, plant design, energy and system efficiency, to name just a few. Programs also can be tailored to meet individual needs. Thousands of engineers, maintenance personnel, operations managers, energy and plant managers complete Spirax Sarco training programs each year and return to continue broadening their knowledge of steam systems.
