Flash steam is a name given to the steam formed from hot condensate when the pressure is reduced.
Flash steam is no different from normal steam, it is just a convenient name used to explain how the steam is formed. Normal or “live” steam is produced at a boiler, steam generator, or waste heat recovery generator – whereas flash steam occurs when high pressure / high temperature condensate is exposed to a large pressure drop such as when exiting a steam trap.
High temperature condensate contains an excess of energy which prevents it from remaining in liquid form at a lower pressure. The result is that the excess energy causes a percentage of the condensate to flash.

Saturated steam occurs when water and steam are in equillibrium. Saturated steam is typically subjected to flashing before interacting with the turbines in order to convert it into superheated steam. Flashing removes the remaining moisture from the saturated steam which may prove to be harmful for the tubines and can destroy them.
Superheated steam is basically saturated steam devoid of any moisture.
