Products: Surface Condenser Supports a steam turbine and enables the conversion of maximum energy in high pressure steam into power. 2015 Graham Corp. - 35 -
Vital Processing Components 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.
