Helping energy efficiency

07 March 2013

Hughes Pumps condenser washing rigs have been successfully installed at a number of Energy from Waste (EfW) plants to help improve the efficiency of steam turbines and increase the amount of green electricity produced from municipal waste.

Hughes Pumps condenser washing rigs have been successfully installed at a number of Energy from Waste (EfW) plants to help improve the efficiency of steam turbines and increase the amount of green electricity produced from municipal waste.

Non-recyclable waste is burned to produce high-pressure steam.

The steam is condensed back to water in a vacuum steam condenser that consists of a series of 10m long radiators. Over time these radiators become blocked with dust and debris.

Cleaning using hand held washing rigs is difficult because of the location of the radiators.

The Hughes Pumps washing rigs allow semi automatic radiator cleaning, which can be regulated to provide the optimum cleaning effect to increase plant efficiency.
