Steam consumption per batch of platten presses often varies by 20-30%, resulting in increased costs.
In today’s dynamic and competitive landscape, where energy costs continue to rise, maintaining an efficient steam system is imperative. An increase in specific steam consumption (SSC) per batch and a drop in condensate recovery factor (CRF) leads to incremental fuel and fresh water consumption.
SSC and CRF variation causes include:
- Design of the steam condensate system,
- Uptime of components and control loops,
- Operating pressures and temperature set-points
- Operating procedures
- Ply / laminate quality and type
- Batch time
- Operator experience
