MJCronin:
I apologize for the confusion, but I am not asking for how to size the pump or the line or the system. I can provide you all of this information, but I am capable of performing that analysis myself. My question is are there other issues (perhaps operational or inlet nozzle design)...
Considering change to pump coal spray (fuel oil) to/from 20k gal vertical cone bottom ASME liquid storage tank. I want to utilize existing pump and decant line coming off side of tank just above cone. Besides controls, line size, pump capacity, etc., are there any specific issues I should...

Such as? A pump? I don't believe so, everything is electric here. We use the LP (25 psig) steam to heat our buildings in the winter, in the summer we only condense it. Perhaps you are suggesting that I consider other applications (i.e. pump) instead of a generator(?)... interesting.

MJC,
I am assuming the latter, no condensers, a skid unit to replace a PCV would consist of following: Single Stage Steam Turbine, Synchronous Generator (1,800 rpm rated @ 700 kW), Speed Reduction Gear, High & Low Speed Couplings.
We produce approx 29,900 lb/h of 285 psig saturated steam...
Thank you for responding, rmw. I figured it out; the exhaust vapor fraction was less than one (yes, some condensing) which yeilded a greater delta ethalpy than I originally calculated when I assumed all vapor exiting. This is a back pressure turbine generator and after realizing that there was...
A vendor quoted a steam turbine generator that will take 29,900 lb/h of saturated steam (300 psia/417°F) inlet & 40 psia/267°F saturated steam exhaust yielding between 700-800 kW electricity. My calcs only yield 290 kW (from steam tables)... what am I doing wrong?
