[0036] The positive pressure steam pipeline is connected with a steam buffer tank 11. In this design, by setting the steam buffer tank 11 on the positive pressure steam pipeline sent to the process demand point 7, the pressure stabilization and steam storage of the positive pressure steam are achieved, which is further convenient for subsequent production steam.
