BUFFERCondensate collection tank Boilte Buffer
Boilte Buffer – the tank that returns condensate to the steam cycle
Condensate coming back from steam consumers is already treated and hot water. Dumping it to the drain means paying twice — for water treatment, chemicals and the fuel to heat it again. The Boilte Buffer tank collects condensate from all lines, evens out its temperature and feeds it to the deaerator or straight into the feed line.
The shell is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, because condensate is aggressive to carbon steel due to dissolved carbon dioxide. The range includes seven sizes from 0.2 to 5 m³, covering everything from a small process boiler house to a large plant.
Why choose BUFFER
AISI 304 stainless steel
Resists the carbonic acid corrosion typical of condensate lines.
Fuel and water savings
Returning hot condensate cuts make-up water, chemicals and gas consumption.
7 sizes
Volume from 0.2 to 5 m³ — for boiler houses of any scale.
Buffer for the deaerator
Smooths uneven condensate return and stabilises boiler feeding.
24-month warranty
Factory warranty on tanks, subject to correct installation and operation.
Ready for piping
Nozzles for condensate inlet, overflow, drain and outlet to the feed pumps.
Serial model
parameters
For non-standard requirements, custom builds to the customer's drawings are available.
*Lifetime warranty applies during the declared design service life of the boiler and is subject to BOILTE Warranty Terms.

Frequently asked
Why is the tank made of stainless steel?
Condensate carries dissolved carbon dioxide, which quickly attacks carbon steel. AISI 304 resists this corrosion and keeps oxidation products out of the feed water.
Which volume should I choose?
The volume depends on how much condensate returns and how unevenly it arrives. An engineer will calculate the right size for your steam distribution scheme.
Where does condensate go from the tank?
Usually to the deaerator, where dissolved gases are stripped out before the water reaches the boiler feed pumps.
What is the warranty on the tank?
24 months, subject to correct installation and operation.
