we have a problem with water hammer on a condensate system on a chemical plant. Joints an valves are starting to leak, is there a way to stem this problem

A basic check would include reviewing closure / opening times of valves and understanding what causes velocity changes within the system. There could be column separation due to poor piping design which can aggravate the waterhammer phenomenon.

If this is the case, you need to find a way to either cool the condensate or increase the system operating pressure slightly, if possible.
For pressurized systems, sometimes the problem is leaking steam traps allowing steam into the condensate system. Or it may be a poorly operating heat exchanger (fouled or excessive flows) which is not condensing all the steam and maintaining a liquid level. Again this would let hot steam into the condensate system causing hammering.
