Some auxiliary steampipes at Eems 20.
The unit can supply it's own auxiliary steam when it's in service but during standstill or startup the steam is coming from the "new" units throug a steampipe which is a few years old now. It became necessary when the old auxiliary boiler of Eems 20 had too much shortcomings and failures like leaks and so on.
The auxiliary steam is used for the shaftsealsystem, heating and driving the main feedwaterpump which is driven by a steamturbine of appr. 20000 KWatts
