Back Pressure Vessel

Back Pressure Vessel Function and Working Method

The Back Pressure Vessel operates by receiving high - pressure steam from the main steam line. Inside the vessel, the steam is distilled and regulated to the required pressure and temperature levels for downstream processes. The vessel acts as a central distribution point, ensuring that steam is efficiently directed to different process points while maintaining consistent pressure and temperature. This helps optimize energy usage and ensures that each process receives the appropriate amount of steam for its specific requirements.

Back Pressure Vessel Material and Construction

Constructed from Carbon Steel Grade 151 in accordance with BS 1501 Pt.1, the Back Pressure Vessel combines strength and durability. The carbon steel material ensures that the vessel can withstand the high pressures and temperatures associated with steam distribution. The vessel is designed with a hydraulic door sealing method, ensuring airtight closure and preventing steam leakage.
