Conversion of a spare steam Boiler to a steam accumulator for handling fluctuating steam demand of a dairy Industry to eliminate firing of an auxiliary boiler

ABC Dairy Industry is a batch processing plant that is equipped with a steam generation and distribution system. The steam demand in the process plant is rarely steady due to sudden fluctuations with steam in the application. Load cycles are short-term frequent peaks of short duration but very high instantaneous flow rates. Steam generation should be with minimum fuel consumption, at worst the result is the pressure drop and production downtime due to the instantaneous flow rate in the ultra-pasteurization process.
