Live Steam Condensate System Desktop Study

Solution Provided | Carnac was tasked to commission live steam condensate recovery systems that had been delayed due to installation issues discovered post-construction. In addition, Carnac was tasked to construct a consistent standard for setting the conductivity across all whiteside facilities.

Disciplines | Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering

Carnac – Project Delivery Services Pty Ltd (Carnac) provided engineering services to investigate the live steam condensate system and whether a business case exists to re-commission the recovery systems. Carnac’s assessment included the following:

  • Reviewed original design information against operations;

  • Performed an Infield Assessment to identify construction or design anomalies;

  • Marked-up P&IDs with modifications to allow re-commissioning;

  • Developed sketches and quantities of modifications to allow re-commissioning; 

  • Developed a unique SysCAD model of the original and modified system to quantify condensate savings; 

  • Developed a cashflow analysis to calculate a NPV; and

  • Provided recommendations and a plan to progress to a concept study.
