To produce one ton of steam per hour you need one ton of water per hour, plus a safety margin to ensure that your boiler doesn’t run dry.

The amount of steam needed to produce one ton of feed varies depending on the type of feed, the desired moisture content, and the specific production process, but a typical range is between 200 and 500 pounds of steam per ton of feed; however, for accurate calculations, consult your specific feed mill operation and equipment details.
The higher the desired moisture content in the final feed, the more steam will be needed.
Pelleting often requires significant steam injection to condition the feed material.
Different feed ingredients may require varying levels of steam for optimal processing.

The boiler horsepower required for steam can be calculated using the formula
