Best Practices...Steam Systems Optimization Start with STEAM TRAP SURVEYS

BEST PRACTICES

Start with Steam Traps...and look upstream and downstream for collateral opportunities to hone your competitive advantage.

A client with 3,500 steam traps did a Phase I, survey/repair in 2010. In 2011...Phase II. In 2011 the client reports saving NET $1,000/day attributed to this steam trap survey/repair program. This program not only pays back under a year, each year...each phase...it improves safety and production throughput. 

The objective of the plenary program is to integrate specifications (product selection and sizing) and standards complemented by installation best practices.  The program includes:
  1. Site-wide steam trap study (more deliverables than a performance survey)
  2. Audit of Specifications
  3. Audit of Standards
  4. Audit of Purchases/Warehouse stock
  5. Development of integrated solutions

Replacing Spargers Saves Thousands!

EZ Heater® is the most efficient and easy to use water heating steam valve available on the market. Use it for utility or process water heating in multiple applications. This patented steam valve uses 100% of the steam's energy to heat water and replaces heat exchangers, spargers, and multiple steam/water mixing tee stations.

Heat Exchangers Hammering?

Do you have heat exchangers (i.e. Reboilers) HAMMERING and/or losing tubes like this heat exchanger?  This device is not evacuating condensate, thus the significant temperature differential.  This backing up of condensate in the heating space reduces surface area AND poses a potential for thermal and hydraulic shock that will damage tubes, create leaks and destroy steam traps.  It also reduces throughput and can impact product quality.
