Efficient. Compact. Engineered for Maximum Energy Recovery.
SED’s Condensate Flashing System, commonly known as FLASH CIGAR®, is a heat recovery mechanism designed to extract energy from condensate streams. Using a horizontal multi-chambered flash vessel, it recovers condensate heat as flash vapor, eliminates the need for multiple condensate pumps, and simplifies plant condensate management.
Ideal for modern sugar factories, FLASH CIGAR® enhances energy efficiency, reduces operational complexity, and ensures sustainable steam utilization.
