Process steam systems : a practical guide for operators, maintainers, and designers

In the engineering community, the lack of steam design expertise is just as pronounced. Process steam systems design is not taught in many universities, and the old timers are gradually retiring, leaving a significant void that is not being filled by the new engineers. Consequently, most engineers tasked with designing or operating a steam system rely heavily on the steam equipment manufacturers to help them figure it out. Although there is a lot of good individual equipment guidance available today, if you don’t understand the steam system function as a whole, it is very easy to end up with a poorly designed or performing system.

Comprehensively describes the equipment used in process steam systems, good operational and maintenance practices, and techniques used to troubleshoot system problems

• Explains how an entire steam system should be properly designed, operated and maintained
• Includes chapters on commissioning and troubleshooting various process systems and problems
• Presents basic thermodynamics and heat transfer principles as they apply to good process steam system design
• Covers Steam System Efficiency Upgrades; useful for operations and maintenance personnel responsible for modifying their systems
