The U.S. Chemical Safety Board released its final report into a 2017 explosion involving an industrial steam generation system that resulted in the death of four people at the Loy-Lange box company in St. Louis.

It is no secret that corrosion prevention in steam generators is vital. It is common knowledge that chemistry can be successfully utilized to minimize corrosion in steam-generating and condensate-return systems.

Thermal liquid heating is a specialized form of process heating that harnesses the forced circulation of a special heating medium, called thermal fluid, as a liquid. In many types of process heating, high temperature rather than high pressure is essential where heat — not vapor or steam — is required. 

Line of unfired clean steam generators provides controlled steam generation utilizing demineralized water services and steam from standard boiler plant. Model CSM-C 600 compact clean steam generator can produce up to a maximum of 1,275 lb/hr of clean steam at 45 psig – dependent on plant steam pressure and feedwater temperature.

A benefit of a modular, once-through watertube design is the ability to rapidly generate full steam even from a cold start (on-demand steam). On-demand steam can improve steam generation operations by matching the actual load demand with boiler output in near real time. While traditional boilers typically are placed in a standby or idle mode when not in use, such operating techniques are not required with on-demand watertube boilers.

Unfired steam generators produce clean steam with steam or high temperature hot water as an energy source.

Unfired steam generators produce clean steam with steam or high temperature hot water as an energy source. The steam generators are suited for clean steam applications, humidification, sterilization, food processing and parts cleaning. 

One California packaging company utilizing industrial steam generators to prepare the packaging materials before shaping will expand its use of Clayton equipment.

The skid-mounted CSM-C 600 is designed to provide dry saturated steam that meets the requirements of HTM2031, HTM2010 and EN285 standards.
