How does a DSI work?
Direct steam injection transforms thermal energy through direct contact steam condensation
-
Almost instantaneous transfer of energy (heat)
-
Effectively 100% efficient - latent and sensible energy
-
Significant measurable benefits beyond energy savings
Environmental benefits
-
Lower demand for boilers
-
Less water usage: minimal water waste before reaching set point temperature
-
Smaller carbon footprint – minimal energy use to achieve precise temperature
-
Lower footprint environmental impact
-
Less waste water
-
Less cleaning and use of chemicals

Sustainable benefits
-
Almost instantaneous transfer of energy (heat)
-
100% efficiency
-
Energy saving / Reduced steam consumption

Smaller 'environmental footprint'
-
Reduced maintenance costs
-
No condensate return required
-
Handles fluids that are difficult to heat, prevents burns; highly viscous or abrasive sludge
