Client challenge
On a quest for energy gains, the client conducted a comprehensive study of the energy efficiency of its entire steam boiler room.
The client was prepared to carry out a global study of its consumption levels (all sources combined) in order to bring them into alignment with its production.
That work was performed over several years.
ODYSSEE Environnement directed the client to a simple and efficient solution that would meet its needs :
A 100% organic treatment made with film-forming amines.
Solution ODYSSEE
ODYVAP VA40A is injected into a boiler’s feed water tank to provide complete protection for the tank, the boiler and the condensate return lines.
ODYVAP VA40A eliminates the need to manage the recovered condensate: the injections are proportional to the softened make-up water.
ODYVAP VA40A was injected with no modifications other than a simple change in treatment product.
In conclusion
ODYSSEE’s solution made it possible to cut the system’s costs by: 1.5% for water consumption and 2.9% for gas.
This represents a 1.9% estimated total-factory cost reduction for gas.
