The contract will support the development of predictive control systems for biomass dryers that will increase energy efficiency and provide significant cost savings. The technologies being developed by the project can be used in wood pellet and solid biofuel product, as well as in second-generation thermochemical biorefinery facilities producing biofuels and ...
In addition it can improve product processing by enhancing process control of the cleaning system, and also reducing equipment repairs, downtime and replacement costs. ...
Since then a total of 30 GEM traps have been installed on drip legs, kettle reboilers, heat exchangers, heating batteries and humidification systems with a further 20 traps being ordered for installation this year. ...
The GEM steam traps provide a fast payback - on some processes within a matter of days - from reduced energy costs and increased equipment reliability due to a reduction in damaging condensate in steam systems. In addition it improves product processing by enhancing the quality of steam and also reduces equipment repairs, downtime and replacement costs. ...
Thermal Energy International’s local engineer began converting the whole site including drip legs, heating systems and tracing applications. Support was provided by ELANTAS Deatech’s Technical Department in sizing the traps for some specific chemical processes. ...
At the trial site a complete condensate return system was converted over to a GEM system and metered analysis of both pre and post installation was conducted to verify the energy reduction. ...
Instead of utilising a valve mechanism to close off steam, the highly efficient GEM steam traps use the patented venturi orifice design to effectively drain condensate from the steam system. As the GEM steam traps have no moving parts to wedge open or fail, it provides the ultimate in reliability necessitating only minimal maintenance and requiring no spares, testing or ...
Biomass Drying For Bioenergy A DRY-REX low temperature biomass drying system was installed at a Uniforet pulp and paper mill in Quebec to dry sludge produced during the paper making process into a high efficiency biofuel. ...
