Steam hybrid systems: the strategy to reduce emissions and costs

The pressure to reduce emissions, contain energy costs and gain resilience has prompted many industries to rethink their thermal generation model. One of the most efficient and flexible solutions is the hybrid steam system, which combines a high-efficiency electric boiler with a conventional gas boiler. By intelligently managing the sources, this system can adapt to […]

Why use solid state relays in electric steam generators?

In industrial applications where very precise control of steam flow, temperature or pressure is required, the type of power switching in an electric boiler can make the difference between a stable and an inefficient process. In this context, solid state relays (SSRs) have become a key solution over traditional electromechanical contactors. In this article we […]

5 common problems in electric steam boilers (and how to avoid them)

Electric steam boilers are a clean, safe and efficient solution for many industrial processes. However, even the most reliable equipment can fail if not properly operated and maintained. In this article, we review the five most common electric steam boiler problems we see on a day-to-day basis with our customers and how to avoid them […]

The use of steam to generate hot water instantaneously

Instant hot water generation is a fundamental need in many industrial and domestic processes. Using steam as a heat source allows this need to be met efficiently and quickly. In the following, we will analyze how the process of instant hot water generation with steam works, its advantages, and some concrete examples of application. The […]

Sterilization of substrates for plant cultivation

Substrate disinfection is an essential step to ensure healthy and productive crops. For decades, the use of chemicals for substrate sterilization has been the norm, but the negative effects on human health and the environment have driven the search for more sustainable solutions. This is not the first success story in steam solutions for plant […]

The economic relevance of condensate reuse in steam generation

Condensates are the result of the condensation of steam after its use in industry. They are usually wasted, but there is a way to reduce water consumption and electricity demand through the process of reusing condensate in steam generation. In industry, steam generation is a fundamental process in sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals or […]

Qualitative advantages of electric steam boilers over firetube boilers

In industry, steam generation is key to a wide variety of processes, from food production to chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. However, there are many ways to generate the steam needed for such processes, hence this comparison of electric vs. pyrotube steam boilers. Of the different technologies used to generate steam, electric boilers are the most […]

Steam quality: applications according to steam purity

Have you ever wondered what the requirements of different steam applications are? Did you know that a determining factor with respect to steam quality is the purity of the steam? Steam used in hospitals is not the same as steam used in the energy sector or in specific applications such as the cleaning and disinfection […]
