The Advantages:

• Elimination of steam leaks through oversized, worn, malfunctioning or failed steam traps.
• Complete and continuous condensate removal.
• Unmatched extended use life.

The Results:

• Immediate reduction of steam related fuel consumption of 12-54%. First year savings remain effective in years following conversion.
• Immediate improved heat transfer of all equipment.
• Immediate reduced production time for steam serviced equipment.
• Immediate improved process temperature control.
• Immediate improved humidity control.
• Elimination of potential freezing hazards, water hammer, sub cooling, CO2 corrosion and other forms of mechan­ical damage.
• Improvements in water quality and corrosion reduction are reported but are difficult to quantify at this time.
• Immediate elimination of normal trap testing, trap re­moval, trap reconditioning labor, trap spare parts purchase, trap spare parts inventory, trap replacement inventory and trap replacement labor. Trap maintenance crews may be reassigned.
