Condensate Recovery Pump Sets
The Force Group can offer condensate recovery solutions to suit your requirements, which include:
- Stainless stell atmospheric collection vessel with electric pump sets
- Duty and cascade pump control for efficient recovery of valuable condensate
- Condensate pump sets pre-fabricated and robust in design for reliable long life
- Reduction on water preheat costs
- Fuel cost savings
- Savings on water treatment - hot condensate is relatively pure water, returning it reduces chemical treatment requirements

What is a Condensate Recovery Pump Set?
Condensate Recovery Pump Sets allows the normally wasted energy in a steam system to be recycled, by recovering the condensate and returning it back to the boiler hot well feed tank for use as boiler feedwater.
This saves significant energy in heating new water and reduces the cost of chemical dosing, as the recovered condensate has already been treated.
The most valuable resources available to your plant are steam and condensate. Steam users should recover every drop as it could contain up to 25% of the total energy of the steam from where it came. This simple concept can be very beneficial to organisations who rely on steam for their process.
Recovering condensate to the boiler offers the possibility to get excellent Return on Investment (ROI). This process is easy to achieve, helping to drastically lower energy bills and often reduce maintenance costs.
You can increase your condensate return rate from 50% to 80% at 80°C,
this will reduce your fuel bill by 4% and you will get payback in a few months.
Condenstate Recovery Pump Sets Explained
What are the main types of Condensate Recovery Pump Sets?
Returning condensate to the boiler house is essential for steam plant efficiency. For applications needing assisted flow we have the right pump for your system.
- Electrical Pumps: Our condensate recovery units are designed to handle hot condensate which is commonly returned for use as boiler feedwater.
- Improve energy efficiency.
- Compliance to regulations and standards
We have a full range of capacities combining single or duplex pumping arrangements.
- Mechanical Pumps: Automatic pumps specifically designed to removed and recover condensate, these often use steam or compressed air as the motive pressure to drive the condensate back to the boiler feedwater tank.
- Quick and easy installation
- No requirement for electrical cabling, useful in ATEX zones.
- Achieve energy savings.
- Compliant to regulations and standards
Condensate Recovery Pump Advantages?
Condensate Recovery Pump Sets have many advantages including:
- Reliable and efficient way to collect and return hot condensate to your steam system.
- Saving heat in the condensate you have already purchased.
- Hot condensate holds approximately 10% of the heat added to the boiler to produce steam.
- Save money in makeup water costs. Every litre returned saves a comparable quantity of cold makeup water.
- Save money in water treatment costs, as the returned hot condensate is pure water.
