    eHandbook: Turn Up the Heat on Steam System Efficiency

    June 24, 2025
    Steam systems are essential to heat transfer and plant operations — but without proper upkeep, they can lead to rising energy costs and reduced reliability.

    Steam systems play a critical role in plant performance, but inefficiencies in heat exchangers, valves and utility management can create costly disruptions. To help you overcome these challenges and strengthen system performance, Chemical Processing has assembled this eHandbook full of expert guidance with articles including:

    • Tackle Tricky Kettle Reboiler Issues 
      In a 2-part series, Andrew Sloley examines kettle-reboiler failures and offers solutions.
    • Tackle Tricky Kettle Reboiler Issues, Part 2
      Andrew Sloley takes a look at another uncommon kettle reboiler problem as heavy liquid accumulation reduces heat transfer.
    • Optimize Steam System Performance with Smarter Valve Servicing 
      For reliable steam distribution and energy efficiency, consider rethinking your servicing approach to control valves to improve uptime and reduce losses.
    • Case Study: Petrochemical Complex Reduces Utility Costs
      Steam system optimization plays a key role in this petrochemical site’s successful effort to cut energy costs and improve overall utility efficiency.
