Flash and Condensate Savings Calculator

The document analyzes the potential flash steam and condensate savings from recovering 1000 lbs/hr of condensate that operates for 3470 hours annually. It finds: 1) The system would produce 70 lbs/hr of flash steam, worth $1214.50 annually in steam costs avoided. 2) Recovering the full condensate load would save $3763.30 per year, achieving a 1.35 year payback on the $5063 equipment cost. Recovery of less than 100% condensate would lower savings but still achieve payback within 5.38 years for a 25% recovery system.

Flash Steam Savings Analysis

Part I: Determining the amount of flash steam produced

A. Condensate Load 1000 lbs/hr


B. Annual hours of operation 3470 hours
C. Steam Cost 5 /1000 lbs produced
D. Flash Steam percentage from chart below 7%
E. Flash steam produced: 70 lbs/hr
D x A = Flash steam produced

Part II: Determining the Dollar Value of the flash steam

F. Annual potential flash steam savings 1214.5

Flash Steam Savings = E x B x C
