Boiler Feedwater Pump Package

In addition to the boiler, there are several other items required to provide for a complete steam generation system. The second item to consider is the boiler feedwater pump package. This package consists of a prefabricated skid containing two boiler feedwater pumps and necessary piping and valves. One pump is the designated run pump and the other is a designated spare pump. A flow meter, pressure gauges and temperature gauge are provided for monitoring the performance of the package. Pumps are sized for 125% of design capacity and are intended to run continuously to maintain desired boiler drum level. Pump packages are sized to match the heat recovery steam generator units.
