APPLYING ELECTRIC HEATERS IN STEAM RECOVERY SYSTEMS
Recovery systems are essential for achieving emissions goals and reducing operational costs.
Electric heaters in carbon capturing systems, for instance, allow for the recovery and capture of carbon as it is being produced. The carbon is then stored to prevent it from entering the atmosphere and then reused as energy. This reduces emissions from the initial process and decreases the energy required for ongoing processes.
Steam recovery systems work on a similar principle. Although instead of capturing carbon, the process recaptures steam and uses its heat energy. Even though steam itself is generally non-toxic and environmentally friendly, the energy used in steam generation can be harmful. By recapturing the steam, you reduce energy use, lowering operating costs.
The recaptured steam supplies energy and heat in processes as water or steam. A typical breakdown of recovered steam goes to ~60% water and ~40% steam.
