Condensate pumping station with electric pumps

The condensate collection and pumping station is designed to return the condensate back to the boiler room. Reuse of condensate in steam production can significantly reduce the consumption of raw materials and save significant money. It is used in cases where the condensate's own pressure is not enough to reach the boiler room or when it is necessary to separate the consumer and the condensate line.

The condensate pumping station is made on the basis of electric pumps, with the use of a condensate collection tank and an automatic control system.

An example of designation of a condensate collection and pumping station produced by OPEX ENERGOSYSTEM:

МТП-НС№-М№-V TU 29.2-31777170-001: 2006,

where

• НС - the purpose of the unit is a make-up pumping station with an indication of the number of pumps;
• М№ - model number of installed pumps;
• V is the volume of the condensate collection tank.

The condensate pumping unit consists of the following main elements:

• 1. Tank for collecting condensate
• 2. Pumps
• 3. Frame
• 4. Indicating level (gauge glass)
• 5. Level sensors
• 6. Pressure gauges
• 7. Thermometers
• 8. Pressure sensors
• 9. Automation cabinet

The condensate collection tank is equipped with condensate inlet pipes, a pressure header, a ventilation pipe, an overflow, a water gauge glass and an inspection hatch.

The condensate collection tank is available in either carbon steel or stainless steel, depending on customer preference.

The selection of pumps for each installation is carried out individually, depending on the required pressure and capacity of the condensate system.

The automation cabinet provides automatic and uninterrupted operation of the station:

• Monitoring the level of condensate in the tank
• Automatic changeover of pumps working / standby
• Dry-running protection of pumps
• Signal transmission to the dispatching system (dry contact)

The advantages of using a condensate pumping unit are as follows:

• 1. Development of the installation is carried out on the basis of technical specifications
• 2. Each module is developed in accordance with the requirements and wishes of the customer
• 3. Full automation of all processes
• 4. Fast and easy on-site installation
• 5. Compact design
• 6. Factory production using modern technologies
