In Reply to: what to do with over a billion pounds of steam? posted by larry on August 14, 2002 at 16:39:29:
Need more details. What is the temperature and pressure of this steam and where is it coming from?
For example:
Many industrial plants with back pressure turbines have excess low pressure steam that was generated to support electrical power demands. If this is the case then additional condensing capacity is needed, but sometimes the return on investment is excessive. In that case it may be best simply to vent the steam from an economical not engineering point of view.
