We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Condensate",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Compressed air for Spanish power station from
CompAir UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "CompAir system offers the best overall solution, with economic air production and a guaranteed oil-free supply for a new AES Energia Cartegena power station at the Port of Escombreras,
Spain".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Warehouse solves compressor condensate problem from
Condensate Systems: "Keen to comply with environmental regulations and maintain a clean, safe warehouse floor, WPS Automotive chose to abandon conventional compressor condensate filtering in favour of a new method".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Spirax Sarco
concerning its Bandvulc boiler feed pre-heating
- take a look at Heat recovery system saves 8% of energy costs
which says: "Bandvulc Tyres has knocked 8%, or around GBP10k, off its energy bill, by fitting a Spirax Sarco system, which uses flash steam from the returning condensate to preheat the feed to the boiler".
Take a look also at the news release from Ultra.Air Group, An intelligent filter housing from Ultra.air,
as well as Refrigerant-based compressed air dryers from Boge Compressors,
and Multi-channel high purity PPB sodium analyser from Hach Ultra Analytics.
