Soluciones Integrales de Combustión is carrying out steam installations in an industrial waste management plant, responsible for the treatment, recovery and valorization of raw materials through distillation treatments. 

Thus, the waste from numerous chemical processes from sectors such as automotive, painting, pharmaceuticals or water treatments will have a second life and will be used again in new industrial processes.

Steam installations transform water from its liquid state to a gaseous state with an increase in temperature, promoted through the use of a fuel. Once the steam is generated, it will be used as heating energy in the distillers and fractionation columns of the industrial waste treatment and management plant. Likewise, the facilities provide energy in the distillation and evaporation processes.

Industrial waste management. Lyres in steam installations

Steam continues to be one of the most used fluids in industrial production processes today. They are mainly used in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and metallurgical industries. Their purpose is basically to heat equipment and provide energy, although they are also used in cleaning or sterilization lines and equipment.

In the aforementioned industrial waste management plant, the steam installations installed by Soluciones Integrales de Combusción deploy the lyres or loop pipes to facilitate the dispersion of heat, protecting the instrumentation equipment that measures from heat and pressure shocks in the circuit. the pressure of the pipes through which the steam circulates. The lyres are the protection elements that are mounted between the measuring instrument and the processes. Another function of the lyres is to function as a thermal barrier, dissipating heat and reducing the risk of deterioration of the facilities.

The way these lyres operate, also known as pigtail siphons, is that they allow a phase change to occur before the fluid reaches the pressure gauge. That is, thanks to its design, the steam that circulates through the siphon at high pressure condenses, so that a part of it goes from the gaseous state to the liquid state and avoids direct contact with the pressure gauge at very high temperatures. In addition, this condensate is stored in the pigtail siphon or lyre-type siphon and allows heat dissipation, which maintains the temperature at appropriate levels for the operation of the pressure measuring equipment.

Turnkey combustion solutions

Soluciones Integrales de Combustión XXI, S.L. is an engineering and thermal services company. It specializes in “turnkey” engineering projects, manufacturing, supply, installation and commissioning, maintenance and repair of all the elements that make up a Thermal Power Plant. The combustion engineering service offers comprehensive solutions for any type of industrial process. In addition, it adds added value in fields such as energy savings, sustainability, reliability and the reduction of unnecessary stops in facilities.

The company remains faithful to its vocation of service and to comprehensively cover the needs of engineering and turnkey services for thermal and combustion installations, from the design of the plants and maintenance to the supply of spare parts and repair, so covers a wide range of industrial services and products.
