Pure Steam Generator

Product Details

GMPMax  pure steam units  are designed for the production of sterile, pyrogen free pure steam for  pharmaceutical applications.

GMPMax  pure steam generator consists of two main components, an  evaporator and a vapor-liquid disengaging section, combined as one cylindrical  column.

Heating steam flows through the shell side of the  evaporator section, while the feed purified water flows through the internal  tubes, from the bottom to the top, the pure steam generated within the  evaporator section flows upward to the vapor- disengaging  section.

The  vapor liquid disengaging section is positioned at the top portion of the  vertical cylindrical column. The high velocity of steam, coupled with enhanced  centrifugal separation provided by the vapor liquid disengaging components,  ensures the extremely high quality steam is produced.

Main  features of GMPMax PSG - DTS

The Immediate start up: due to the design as per  “accumulating boiler” technology, the pure steam is immediately available. The  unit is able to pass from stand-by to full capacity in a few  seconds.

• High  Flexibility: the production capacity can be varied automatically from 0 to  100% according to the demand.

•  Unique purification system:  gravitational purification principle for better guarantee of steam,  purity.

•  High Quality Steam: the  quality of produced steam is constant in terms of pyrogen contents, superheat  value and dryness fraction, independently from pressure and production flow  rate.

•  Simple and clean mechanical construction: baffle free decontamination chamber - no welding.  Granting the best inspectability, minimized corrosion risk, for the longest  expected life of the equipment.

•  Extremely limited maintenance. No moving parts, expansion joints or mechanical seals. No  extra space in height is needed.

• Compact construction and low weight. Little extra head  room needed for dismounting and inspection.

Operating Principle

GMPMax’ PSG - DTS Pure Steam Generators design is based in  the “accumulating boiler” technology. The system is composed by two parallel  bodies: the heat exchanger and the evaporator - decontamination column. Feed  water is fed to the decontamination column (main body), while industrial steam  is fed to the heat exchanger, shell side. Industrial steam heats the feed water  to evaporation temperature, so creating a strong circulation inside  the

two bodies. The steam develops in the evaporator: steam  low velocity and the height of the decontamination

column eliminate any possible impure water droplets  entrainment.

A pressure transducer, installed in the evaporator,  controls the feed of industrial steam to the heat exchanger, thus granting  constant pressure of the produced pure steam.

The feed water flow is controlled by a level transmitter  installed in the evaporator.

Construction Characteristics

The plant is completely made in AISI 316L  stainless steel. Standard finishing of the active surface is pickled and  passivated; mirror or electropolishing can be made on  request.

The heat exchanger is a DTS type; the pipes are  expanded into the plates, avoiding any welding for a totally hygienic execution,  and a better resistance against dilatation stress.

The design and construction of the  decontamination chamber, which is a totally empty column, ensure the best  inspectability. The absence in this area of welding dramatically reduce the risk  of corrosion, for a very long expected life of the  equipment.

The general construction design, coupled with  the described decontamination process, ensure a very compact layout, together  with an extremely limited space needed for maintenance.
