Steam Generators and Exhaust Gas Boilers 150 - 40,000 kg/h
	Blowdown Savings
		Blowdown Savings can be illustrated by the following example:   Make-up Water TDS Level 300 ppm Make-up water temperature: 60°F / 15.6°C % of Make-up: 100% Blowdown TDS level in conventional boiler: 3000 ppm TDS level in Clayton feedwater: 6500 ppm Average boiler load: 300 BHP / 2943kW Boiler Efficiency: 80% Steam Pressure 125 psig / 9.6 barg Hours of operation per day: 16 hours per day Days of operation per year: 312 days per year Cost of natural gas: £0.03 per kW.h In this case, the savings in blowdown, is 360 kg. of water per hour, which equates to annual savings, based on the assumptions shown, of just over £18,000. This could easily represent greater than 6% of the installed cost of the new equipment and, most importantly, these savings are ongoing.		Copyright © 2007
