PureSys Engineering Services

Technical Consultation

Expert steam and valve engineering advice at every stage of your project — from specification and selection through to post-commissioning performance review.

Engineering Expertise When You Need It

Selecting the right steam engineering equipment requires more than a product catalogue. The correct steam trap type depends on operating pressure, load variation, and drainage location. A control valve specification depends on flow coefficient, allowable pressure drop, process media, and actuator requirements. Getting these decisions wrong costs time, money, and plant availability.

PureSys technical consultation provides direct access to steam engineering specialists who can work through your requirements with you — whether you are designing a new system, replacing ageing equipment, or trying to solve a persistent process problem.

We are independent of any single manufacturer, which means our advice is based on what is best for your application — not what is easiest to supply.

Consultation Is Right for You If…

  • You are specifying equipment for a new project or plant expansion
  • Existing equipment is underperforming and you are unsure why
  • You need a second opinion before committing to a capital purchase
  • Your team lacks steam engineering depth for a specific application
  • You want to review a vendor’s technical proposal independently

Areas of Technical Expertise

Our engineers bring deep application knowledge across the full range of steam and industrial process engineering disciplines.

Steam Trap Selection

Thermostatic, thermodynamic, float, inverted bucket — matching trap type and sizing to operating pressure, condensate load, back pressure, and maintenance philosophy.

Control Valve Engineering

Cv calculation, valve characteristic selection, actuator sizing, fail-safe action specification, and integration with DCS or standalone controller requirements.

Pressure Reduction Systems

PRV sizing, station design with bypass and safety valve, set pressure selection, and downstream pipe sizing to handle flash at reduced pressure.

Condensate Recovery Design

Flash vessel sizing, condensate pump selection, receiver design, return line sizing, and heat recovery integration with feedtank and deaerator.

Instrumentation Specification

Flow meter selection and sizing for steam and condensate, pressure transmitter specification, temperature element selection, and instrument installation standards for steam service.

Process Troubleshooting

Structured analysis of persistent process problems — waterhammer, process temperature instability, trap failure patterns, valve hunting, and unexplained steam consumption increases.

How We Work With You

Technical consultation with PureSys is straightforward and flexible. We adapt to your project timeline and preferred engagement format.

📞 Initial Discussion

A free initial call to understand your requirement and determine whether and how PureSys can help. No commitment required.

📋 Scoped Engagement

For defined projects, we agree a scope of work — covering deliverables, timeline, and the format of outputs — before any chargeable work begins.

📄 Written Recommendations

All advice is documented in writing — product specifications, design notes, equipment datasheets, or formal reports, depending on the scope.

🔄 Ongoing Support

For clients with ongoing project needs, we offer a retained consultancy arrangement providing priority access to our engineering team throughout the year.

Deliverables We Provide

Depending on your project scope, technical consultation can produce:

  • Equipment selection reports with sizing calculations
  • Technical datasheets and purchase specifications
  • Piping and installation schematic recommendations
  • Vendor bid evaluation and technical comparison
  • Root cause analysis reports for recurring problems
  • Energy loss calculations and improvement business cases
  • Pre-purchase technical review of competitor proposals
Note: All PureSys consultation is covered by professional indemnity insurance. We stand behind our engineering advice.
