Thermax offers High Pressure Condensate Recovery System (HPCRS) where recoverable condensate is more than 80% of the total steam consumption. The term HPCRS refers to recovering the condensate directly to the boiler shell and injecting it into water space without entering it into feed water tank.

With this system we eliminate condensate flashing as flashing reduces the pressure and temperature of condensate. The heat of both flash steam & condensate cannot be held by BFW in a FW tank as, feed water temperature is likely to go above 100 deg C if condensate & flash are recovered in FW tank.

Also since condensate temperature is close to saturation, significantly less fuel is required to generate the same amount of steam. The system is estimated to give fuel saving between 10 to 20 %, when compared with conventional atmospheric condensate recovery system.

HPCRS is operated by PLC based controlled system with key specialized products like high temperature Centrifugal Pump, Control valve, Pressurized tank, Condensate pumping system to handle very high condensate temperature and as well as pressure.
