Pressure Reducing &
Desuperheating (PRDS) Station
Modular Ready-to-Fit Steam Conditioning Solution!!!
Most modern boilers generate steam at high pressures & temperatures. High pressure steam has
lesser volume than steam at atmospheric pressure, thereby translating into smaller boiler size &
lower diameter of steam piping. Also, high temperature (superheated) steam has more energy,
which translates into higher efficiency for power generating steam turbines.
On the other hand, all process industries use low pressure low temperature saturated steam,
primarily due to the following reasons:
Saturated steam has the highest heat transfer efficiency.

Lower pressures & temperatures translate into thinner pipes, lighter flanges & less
expensive materials thereby significantly reducing initial plant cost.
In any industry, steam is required at different locations, but the required steam pressure &
temperature at each location varies according to the application. Therefore, high pressure
superheated steam is generated at a central location (boiler), distributed to various locations in
the plant through a steam piping network, and then reduced to the operating pressure &
temperature just upstream of the usage points.
IndiTech PRDS station is a modular steam conditioning unit to reduce the steam pressure &
temperature at the point of usage, and it can be directly installed into your existing steam
network.
Some applications of PRDS stations are enumerated below:
1. PRDS for process heating / cooling applications in sugar, food, textile, paper etc. plants
2. Deaerator, Ejector PRDS for boiler
3. Turbine bypass PRDS

PRDS Station Operation Principle
The high pressure high temperature steam enters the PRDS station as shown in the figure. The
steam inlet pressure gauge and dial thermometer indicate the pressure and temperature
respectively of the inlet steam. The steam pressure control valve reduces the pressure of the
steam. The steam inlet isolation valve along with the outlet isolation valve is used to isolate the
steam pressure control valve, whenever maintenance of the control valve is to be carried out. The
steam bypass valve allows steam flow at reduced pressure to continue when the steam pressure
control valve is under maintenance or becomes inoperable. The spray water enters the water line
as shown in the figure. The water strainer at the inlet prevents entry of foreign particles into the
water control valve & desuperheater spray nozzles.

The water inlet pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the spray water. The water flow control
valve regulates the quantity of the spray water going into the spray nozzles depending on the
steam load. The water inlet / outlet isolation valves are used to isolate the water control valve,
whenever maintenance of the control valve is to be carried out. The water bypass valve allows
spray water flow to continue whenever the water flow control valve is under maintenance or
becomes inoperable. The non-return valve prevents back flow of steam into the water pipe line.
The desuperheater lowers the temperature of the steam to the required outlet temperature by
injecting atomized water in the form of a very fine mist into the steam flow. The pressure
transmitter and temperature transmitter sense the outlet steam pressure and temperature
respectively and give a proportional current signal as output to the PID controller. The PID
controller then compares the measured value with a set point, and generates an error signal,
which is then given to the positioner of the steam pressure control valve and water flow control
valve.
PRS Station Operation Principle
The high pressure steam enters the PRS station as shown in the figure. The steam inlet pressure
gauge and dial thermometer indicate the pressure and temperature respectively of the inlet
steam. The steam pressure control valve reduces the pressure of the steam. The steam inlet
isolation valve along with the outlet isolation valve is used to isolate the steam pressure control
valve, whenever maintenance of the control valve is to be carried out. The steam bypass valve
allows steam flow at reduced pressure to continue when the steam pressure control valve is
under maintenance or becomes inoperable. The pressure transmitter senses the outlet steam
pressure and gives a proportional current signal as output to the PID controller.

The PID controller then compares the measured value with a set point, and generates an error
signal, which is then given to the positioner of the steam pressure control valve. The safety valve
opens and relieves excess pressure when steam pressure goes above set value, and re-closes
and prevents the further release of fluid after normal conditions have been restored.
DSH Station Operation Principle
The spray water enters the DSH station as shown in the figure. The water strainer at the inlet
prevents entry of foreign particles into the water control valve & desuperheater spray nozzles.
The water inlet pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the spray water. The water flow control
valve regulates the quantity of the spray water going into the spray nozzles, depending on the
steam load. The water inlet / outlet isolation valves are used to isolate the water control valve,

whenever maintenance of the control valve is to be carried out. The water bypass valve allows
spray water flow to continue whenever the water flow control valve is under maintenance or

The desuperheater lowers the temperature of inlet high temperature steam to the required outlet
temperature by injecting atomized water into the steam flow. This is achieved by means of spray
nozzles that atomize water into a very fine mist. The temperature transmitter senses the outlet
steam temperature and gives a proportional current signal as output to the PID controller. The
PID controller then compares the measured value with a set point, and generates an error signal,
which is then given to the positioner of the water flow control valve.
