Starting at the boiler, we survey the entire steam system and compile a report based on data collected.  The report divides the system into plant areas for easy customer reference and includes:

• Number, size & model of each trap
• Inlet & outlet temperatures
• Condensate load
• Steam loss estimates (#hr, #yr)
  

Documentation is such that sizing (for later additions and modifications) can usually be handled by phone.

Boiler Room

Check out steam pressure, header traps and stack temperatures.

Overall System

Check individual steam trap location, condensate and piping.

Tracing

For plants with outside tracing lines, we review inlets & outlets and eliminate unnecessary traps and inefficient parts.

Fuel Savings Estimates

In estimating fuel savings (cost per 1,000 lbs of steam), we utilize existing system information: (1) Pressure drops from main header to E.O.L;  (2) Return line temperatures;  (3) Type of system;  (4) Steam pressure;  (5) Average condensate load per trap;  (6) Customer maintenance schedule. 

We then compare the resulting steam loss calculations (lb/hr) to the system’s projected performance using Enercon units. These estimates consistently prove to be accurate.  They do not include savings from the elimination of trap repair and replacement.
