There are some factors of
steam-water separation which influence the effectiveness of its process. Steam
should be separated out of the mixture of steam-water. The factors of
steam-water separation process will depend on specific factors either operating
factors and design factors.
The following below are the operating factors that influence steam-water separation process:
- Amount
of water.
- Treatment
of chemical process in the boiler water.
- Load
type of steam.
- The
quantity of steam flow or boiler load.
- The
operating pressure of steam boiler.
The following below are the
design factors that influence steam-water separation process:
- Design
connections of riser and downcomer to steam drum.
- The
supply of feedwater.
- Design
and kind of separators.
- The
amount of inlet steam.
- The
steam generation rate.
- Diameter
of drum and length of drum.
- The
design pressure of steam boiler.
- Arrangement of equipment for discharge steam.
Main equipment for water-steam
separation commonly can be mechanical primary separation, baffle assisted
separation, and natural gravity driven separation.
