A Steam Trap Survey carried out on a regular basis is the most efficient way to eliminate costly losses, maximise energy efficiency and minimise production downtime. Having a leaking steam trap in your steam system is like having a hole in your wallet. Steam trap failure can be due to a number of factors, however a steam trap that is not working properly allows live and valuable steam to escape. Replacing or repairing steam traps may seem expensive at first, but the cost is nothing compared to the amount of money you’re losing because of a leaking steam trap.

A Valveforce Steam Trap Survey involves a detailed inspection of your condensate return system and delivers the following:

• Identification and an inventory of the complete steam trap population.
• Precise operating conditions for each trap (at time of survey).
• A detailed report on the condition of the steam traps and associated ancillaries.
• Independent checking of each steam trap to ensure that it is correct for the application.
• Visual inspection of each steam trap to check that it is installed correctly.
• The latest ultrasonic testing of all steam traps in operation.
• Highlight other issues that may be observed in you steam and condensate system.
• Generation of an independent report as a result of the steam trap survey.
• Accurate steam losses will be highlighted and calculated using your exact operating costs.
• Calculated return on investment will be given for any remedial work that may be needed.
• Advice on other system recommendations that may be required.

We can save you money, reduce your carbon footprint and also ensure that your traps are working at maximum efficiency!

Money Saving Example: As a rule, just one passing 15mm Thermodynamic steam trap will cost you about £750 per year in live steam loss.
