PRODUCTS: DIRECT CONTACT CONDENSER Products: Direct Contact Condenser An 11 MW turbine-generator set at a geothermal power producing plant in Papua New Guinea. 34

Products: Surface Condenser Supports a steam turbine and enables the conversion of maximum energy in high pressure steam into power. 35

VITAL PROCESSING COMPONENTS Vital Processing Components CONDENSERS AND EJECTORS A condenser supports a steam turbine and enables the conversion of maximum energy in high pressure steam into power. An ejector system lowers the pressure in the distillation column to allow crude oil to boil at a lower temperature. This allows for more efficient and cost-effective separation of crude oil into valuable products, such as diesel, gas oils, kerosene, and other fuels.
