New White Paper outlines benefits of clean steam
Spirax Sarco has published a new White Paper highlighting the increasing need for clean steam in industrial applications to meet regulatory and guidance, customer safety and product quality requirements.
There is a growing recognition that plant steam may not be clean enough for some processes. While this has long been understood in pharmaceutical production, healthcare and electronics, demand for clean steam is now on the rise in other industries, such as food and drink.
This white paper looks at the different grades of steam available, including plant steam, filtered steam, clean steam and pure steam. It also considers where they might be most applicable. For instance, some food manufacturers are happy with filtered (culinary) grade steam, while others are opting for steam generated by a dedicated clean steam generator.
It considers the potential advantages of switching to clean steam, including reduced costs from product wastage and the ability to demonstrate the use of best practice to demanding customers such as supermarkets and ultimately consumers.
Finally the white paper recommends a six-step approach to determine whether an application would benefit from adopting a clean steam supply, including identifying potential sources of contamination and devising a steam quality testing regime.
