Packaged solutions
All our packaged solutions are supplied pre-assembled, minimising the need for on-site fabrication and testing.
Without these packages, a number of individual components would be required to construct the solution. The on-site
labour needed to procure, weld, test and inspect is expensive and after construction installation can be awkward.
However, all our packaged solutions offer fast site installation with minimal hook ups.
Using our expertise in steam, we have devised many packaged solutions to ensure that all
the needs of you and your customers are met. We can also customise these packages where
necessary in order to match your operational requirements.

3 Desuperheaters
STEAM CONDITIONING
Our desuperheaters are compact, easy to install, long lasting and designed to reduce the temperature of superheated
steam to produce steam temperatures approaching saturation temperature. To cool the superheated steam, water is
entrained and flashed into vapour by absorbing heat from the steam.
Desuperheaters can be used in power plants, vacuum distillation units (start-up heater), aromatics recovery unit, thermal
and catalytic crackers, polymerization and olefin units.
A calculated portion of the superheated steam enters the nozzle and is accelerated to a
high velocity in the nozzle throat, dropping in pressure and creating high turbulence in
this area. The jet of steam leaving the nozzle serves to atomise the incoming cooling water where it mixes, due to high
turbulence, as it moves along the internal diffuser.
This steam is accelerated to the same velocity as that within the nozzle throat which serves to balance or equalise
the pressure of both streams as they enter the main diffuser throat. The combined streams then pass out of the
desuperheater into the discharge piping where the final desuperheating takes place.

4 Thermocompressors
ENERGY SAVING
Our Steam Jet Thermocompressors (SJT) are energy saving devices that boost low pressure steam, often waste steam, by
accurately mixing with high pressure steam. This creates a usable pressure that can be recycled back into the process.
Your customers in the oil & gas industry are constantly looking for opportunities to reduce energy costs by optimising their
energy consumption. For many of them this means reducing waste steam to improve steam generation efficiency and
increase profitability. This is where our Steam Jet Thermocompressor can help.
Each unit is available in many materials including carbon steel, stainless steel or chrome molybdenum and is designed
specifically to suit your customer's process requirements and ensure maximum operating efficiency.
All products comply with the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and are CE marked where appropriate.
All of our design and manufacturing processes are quality assured and certified to BS EN 9001:2000.
Our Steam Jet Thermocompressor uses high pressure steam to entrain low pressure steam and discharges at a pressure that
lies somewhere between the two pressures.
High pressure motive steam enters and passes through the nozzle and enters the suction chamber where it is brought
in contact with the low pressure steam. This steam mixture then enters the diffuser where its kinetic energy is converted
to pressure energy. The steam discharged is then put back into the process.

WIRELESS STEAM TRAP MONITORING
5 In some cases, blocked steam traps have caused the solidification of entire product lines, such as sulphur or bitumen transfer
lines. In this case the whole affected section may require removal and replacement; shutting down the process for significant
lengths of time at huge cost in terms of lost production output.
In oil & gas facilities, manually checking a large trap population could lead to failed traps going unnoticed for an extended
period of time. This increases the potential for unexpected equipment or pipeline failure leading to significant energy loss or
more importantly, lengthy process downtime.
A continuous trap monitoring system allows these facilities to take proactive and preventative action to replace or repair traps
as soon as a problem is reported.
Intelligent monitoring also allows customers to prioritise the maintenance of steam traps during scheduled downtime ensuring
high priority processes are protected from potentially avoidable interruptions.
Wireless networks enable a cost effective installation and future expansion of field instrumentation devices to monitor a wide
range of process variables.
Intrinsically safe, the system uses wireless communication protocol and meets the rigid ISA100.11a standards on connectivity
and security.
The steam trap is monitored by an individual ‘head unit’. The head unit measures both acoustic signal and temperature.
This data is analysed in the head using a powerful processor, and is periodically transmitted securely across the wireless
network to either a work station or DCS without the need for any third party software.

INVERTED BUCKET STEAM TRAPS
Our inverted bucket steam traps employ a well-proven principle which relies on the difference in density between steam
(a vapour) and condensate (a liquid). They have a robust design and incorporate a simple density sensitive bucket and
lever mechanism.
4. Any air reaching the trap will also give the bucket
buoyancy and close the valve preventing condensate flow.
The small vent hole positioned at the top of the bucket will
bleed air into the top of the trap. Because the vent hole at
the top of the bucket is small in diameter it will vent air very
slowly. Where the venting of air may be a particular
problem, this can be overcome simply by fitting an external
air vent in parallel.

and the resultant vapour pressure acting on the diaphragms pushes the valve head towards the seat,
fully closing at the selected discharge temperature before any steam is lost.

The PC3000 pipeline connector has an integral piston type stop valve which isolates upstream of the steam trap. It
was designed for use with swivel connector steam traps, however, it is also available with connections for draining
upstream pipework and venting the pipework immediately upstream of the steam trap.

12.4 PC4000
The PC4000 pipeline connector is specifically for use with swivel connector steam traps. It has two integral stop valves which
isolate upstream and downstream of the steam trap. The stop valves are piston type. It is available with connections for the
draining of pipework, venting upstream and trap testing downstream of the steam trap.

The BDV depressurisation valves are designed to drain, blowdown, purge and vent, or depressurise pipework. The BDV1
provides discharge through the valve, generally to be used as a drain or for line depressurisation, where discharge is directed
to grade and/or atmosphere.
The BDV2 provides side connection discharge, generally being used as a vent for top pipe mounting or for line
depressurisation, to ensure discharge is piped to grade and/or atmosphere.

13 Air eliminators
AUTOMATIC AIR & GAS VENT
Our range of air eliminators provide a complete solution that helps reduce noise, corrosion and the maintenance costs. They
can be used to help prevent:
Our automatic air and gas vents use a simple float and lever valve assembly, which opens to air and gases, and closes
tightly against water or liquids.
At start-up, the vent is open to allow gases to pass through the main valve. As soon as liquid reaches the vent the float
is raised and the lever mechanism closes the valve. When more gases reach the vent it displaces the liquid and the float
falls, opening the valve. After the gas is discharged the liquid level rises to replace the gas and the valve closes.
The check valve is essential where there is a possibility of the system operating under negative head conditions. It will
prevent air being drawn back into the system.
