PyroPure Pure Steam Generators

The Mueller PyroPure P7000 Series Advantage
Mueller PyroPure pure steam generators are capable of producing pyrogen-free pure steam that, when condensed,
meets all U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP) requirements for use in autoclaves, critical area humidification, and routine steam-
in-place (SIP) sterilization.

Feedwater enters the system and flows through two level control valves and then into the tube side of the blowdown
cooler. In the blowdown cooler, heat is transferred between the feedwater on the tube side and the blowdown exiting
the system through the shell side. Correspondingly, the blowdown exits the system at a lower, safer temperature, and
the feedwater enters the system at a higher, more efficient temperature.

The heated feedwater flows into the steam separator while filling the lower part of the steam separator, the tube side
of the evaporator, and the level indicator assembly to a factory-determined range controlled by level indicator switches.
At the same time, utility steam enters the shell side of the evaporator. Latent heat from steam is rejected to the feedwater
through the walls of the evaporator tubes. The feedwater is evaporated, and the resulting vapor is propelled from the
evaporator into the steam separator where any impurities are removed from the steam by centrifugal force. Pyrogen-
free steam exits from the top center of the separator and feeds the pure steam distribution system.

Simple Design, Reliable Operation

An external evaporator provides improved access
for inspection and preventative maintenance on
critical o-rings and gaskets.
The separation column contains no internal
components that require inspection or periodic
maintenance.
All maintenance (including replacement of critical
components) can be performed with only 24" of
space on all sides (including the top) of the
equipment.
Minimal instrumentation is required for equipment
operation. Only one control loop is needed which
minimizes the calibration required, as well as the
potential for downtime.
All components are fully drainable, including the
feedwater pump.
All elastomers in contact with feedwater and
product are provided with USP Class VI
certifications.
ASME BPE certified fittings are used throughout
the design.
All product contact surfaces are polished to 20 Ra
maximum and electropolished. Surfaces in contact
with feedwater are polished to 25 Ra maximum.
All surfaces in contact with feedwater and product
are manufactured from 316/316L stainless steel.

System Components
Evaporator. The natural circulation design of the PyroPure
double-tubesheet evaporator ensures maximum surface
wetting, eliminating the hot, dry areas that lead to the
stress cracking associated with other designs. The tube
bundle creates a large heat transfer surface that vaporizes
feedwater almost instantly to allow the unit to respond
to large loads. Mueller PyroPure pure steam generators
have a fully drainable external evaporator, eliminating the
need for the excess headroom required for evaporator
removal with other designs. All surfaces that come into
contact with pure vapor or distillate are made of type
316L stainless steel, including the sanitary clamp-type
connections and seamless tubes.
Blowdown Cooler Assembly. The blowdown cooler
assembly serves two functions in making the PyroPure
pure steam generator as reliable and efficient as possible:
pre-heating the feedwater and cooling blowdown. By
transferring heat from blowdown to incoming feedwater,
the blowdown cooler serves to preheat the feedwater
while cooling wastewater and preventing it from flashing
into steam as it exits the high-pressure separator. Blow-
down temperatures are consistently less than 140F (60C)
when constantly fed with ambient temperature feedwater.
Steam Separator. As the mixture of water and vapor
leaves the evaporator at high velocity and enters the steam
separator through a tangential port, a natural vortex is
formed. The centrifugal force of the vortex separates water
droplets and contaminants out of the spiraling vapor. Pure
vapor rises up through the steam separator and out of the
pure steam outlet at the top of the generator. Because the
separator has no baffles or demister, there are no auxiliary
surfaces for condensation to accumulate and stagnate.
Consequently, concerns over potential bacterial growth
are eliminated.
Controls. The standard control system is an Allen Bradley
PLC with an Allen Bradley operator interface mounted in
a NEMA rated panel. Ethernet is provided on the standard
control system to facilitate communications with adjacent
equipment or data archiving systems. Mueller can also
provide other Allen Bradley control components, as well
as control systems from Siemens and Mitsubishi. Control
and electrical panels are supplied with a UL 508a label.
Options
Feedwater Pump System. The feedwater pump system
enhances feedwater pressure and should be installed if
feedwater supply pressure does not exceed the desired
pure steam operating pressure by 1530 psig (12 bar).
When furnished, the feedwater pump system will be
installed on the pure steam generator framework.
Pure Steam Condensate Sampling System. Regular
product testing for regulatory compliance. The sampling
system will simplify your sampling methods and enable
you to draw samples for testing. The sample valve is
located near the control box for easy access.
Pure Steam Analyzer. This option works mutually with
the pure steam condensate sampling system to measure
and record the temperature and conductivity of the
condensed pure steam. If the conductivity rises above
the user-selected setpoint, the analyzer will signal an
alarm on the operator interface.
Stainless Steel Sheathing and Frame. Sheathing made
entirely of Type 304 stainless steel enhances the general
appearance of your unit and adds value to any facility.
The sturdy Type 304 stainless steel frame enhances the
generators overall appearance, as well as improves the
resistance to corrosion. Standard equipment includes a
painted carbon steel frame and embossed aluminum
insulation sheathing.
Feedwater Analyzer. The feedwater analyzer option
continuously measures and records the conductivity of
the feedwater. If the conductivity rises above the user-
selected setpoint, the analyzer will signal the operator
interface.
Degasser. To ensure compliance with regulations limiting
the non-condensable gas content in pure steam the
degasser may be desired. The degasser uses steam from
the steam separator to heat the feedwater. As the feed-
water is heated the non-condensable gases are expelled
and vented from the equipment.
WFI Production. A pure steam condenser may be
included with the pure steam generator to produce up to
150 gallons per hour (568 LPH) of WFI. The condenser
may be provided integral to the pure steam generator
skid or as a separate skid.

1 Capacity is based on a steam supply pressure of 120 psig, a pure steam header pressure of 50 psig, and a feedwater temperature of 70F.
2 Feedwater flow rate must be 5 to 10 percent greater than the pure steam volume produced to allow for blowdown (e.g., 100 lb/hr [12 gph]
pure steam requires 110 lb/hr [13.8 gph] feedwater).
3 If feedwater temperature is at least 160F (71C) then plant steam must be 20 percent greater than pure steam capacity (e.g., 100 lb/hr pure
steam requires 120 lb/hr plant steam). If feedwater temperature is approximately 70F, then plant steam must be 30 percent greater than
pure steam capacity.
4 Generator performance curves assume no back pressure on the condensate outlet. Any back pressure must be subtracted from the inlet
supply steam pressure to figure the net effective inlet steam pressure and actual unit performance.
5 If a feedwater pump is used, feedwater must be supplied at a minimum pressure of 10 psig and connection size may be larger than indicated.
6 Other electrical services must be specified at time of order.
7 Dimensions and weights do not include options. All specifications subject to change without notice.

Pressure and Temperature Charts

PyroPure Pure Steam Generator Capacity Curves
1. Select the chart(s) with pure steam capacities closest to the one you need.
2. Locate your supply steam pressure on the vertical axis.
3. Follow that line across to the point where it intersects with the curve representing your required pure steam
pressure.
4. Drop down from this point to the horizontal axis to determine the models pure steam capacity.
5. Select the model which most closely fits your capacity needs given your pressure requirements.

Note: Capacities shown are approximate and do not include an allowance for pure steam sampling.
