Declining performance of a large compressor-driven steam turbine's surface condenser at Shell Chemical LP's petrochemical complex in Norco, La., was constraining an associated process unit to a ...

Bionetics reintroduces Helium Leak Detection and RheoVac monitoring to optimize steam condenser performance, reduce fuel costs, and enhance efficiency. WESTERVILLE ...

Researchers have figured out how to keep condensed droplets from coalescing into a film, and to make the droplets jump high enough to move away from the condenser surface. Hold a cold drink on a hot ...

Steam surface condensers are by no means one of the more “glamorous” pieces of power plant equipment. Keeping them running effectively, however, can result in substantial economic savings due to ...

Hold a cold drink on a hot day, and watch as small droplets form on the glass, eventually coalescing into a layer of moisture (and prompting you to reach for a coaster). This basic physical process, ...
