Blowdown Separators

 

Wilson boiler blowdown systems are built around the Wilson centrifugal blowdown separator. The boiler blowoff is piped tangentially into the separator. In the resulting vortex the pressure is released, allowing the steam flash to rise through the vent while the water and sludge fall through the drain. A stainless steel wear plate protects against erosion in the blowoff entry area. No water is retained in the separator.

Vents sized for maximum of 5 psig in separator. The drains sized for flow of blowdown effluent plus aftercooler water for maximum temperature 140F to sewer. For sizing details refer to Wilson separator selection charts A&B. Note: Custom sizes are available. Consult the factory for more information.

Notes:
1) Vessel connections may be threaded, flanged, or welded or any combination required by your application. Consult factory.
2) Material thickness must comply with state and local regulations. All separators shown are constructed to A.S.M.E. Code.
3) Separator design pressures are suitable with boiler maximum allowable working pressures to four times the separator design pressure (Per National Board recommendations). Ex:A separator with a 150 psig design pressure may be used with a 600psig
maximum allowable working pressure boiler.
4) Separators may be registered with the National Board (optional).

Aftercooler For Hot Liquids

Aftercoolers are configured to match separator drain size

Blowdown Heat Recovery

Wilson Engineering’s CBHR is a low cost continuous blowdown heat recovery system that saves enough energy to pay for itself in just a few months. Flash is directed to the deaerator, remaining heat is transferred to the makeup water with a brazed plate hx. No source of power or air is required, this system is totally self contained.

Exhaust Heads

The use of Wilson Exhaust Heads eliminates objectionable noise created by high velocity discharge of steam, air, or other gases. They also offer protection from exhausted moisture by collecting and draining off liquids entrained in steam vapors. The WILSON Silent Exhaust Head – whether vertical or horizontal type – uses a reverse flow double expansion principle. The flow area is increased 1-1/2 times on the first pass to 4 times on the second pass through the unit. Through this expansion the speed of the exhaust is greatly reduced thereby eliminating objectionable noise.

Blowdown Tanks

Wilson engineering builds all sizes of tanks. Please contact us for more information.

Condensing Units

National, state and local anti-pollution laws, either existing or proposed, generally include maximum temperature limitations for waste water drained into lakes, streams, etc. These restrictions may include storm drains as well as direct discharge into public waters. Most areas have long had such limitations with regard to sanitary sewers. Anti-pollution laws may require modification of many existing boiler blowdown arrangements, as well as consideration in design of new facilities.

NOTES:
1. TOP OF VENT SHOULD BE ABOVE HEAD HEIGHT (7′-0″).
2. DRAIN MUST HAVE FREE FLOW TO SEWER.
3. TEMPERATURE OF DRAIN LIQUID IS CONTROLLED BY COLD WATER SUPPLY.
4. CONNECTIONS CAN BE FURNISHED THREADED, FLANGED OR BEVELED FOR WELDING.
