Your plant may be running smoothly and at peak productivity, but are you missing opportunities in your steam system to meet energy efficiency targets?
Spirax Sarco can help you to create a sustainable steam system for the future.
All without compromising on system performance and safety.
Undertaking a steam system audit will help you identify improvements that will improve process efficiency, energy efficiency and even improve productivity. These are all compelling reasons to invest in an audit to review your steam system.
As a part of the steam system audit, your local Spirax Sarco engineer can work with you to assess all aspects of your system from the boilerhouse, through to distribution and condensate return to identify energy saving and energy recovery opportunities within your processes.
Our steam system audit will help you plan for the future by demonstrating areas where there are clear efficiency gains and system improvements.

Complete an audit to find optimisation opportunities
The medical centre discovered significant energy savings as well as improved boiler operations.
There is much to gain from assessing your steam processes and equipment in your steam system. By undertaking a steam trap survey, you could uncover opportunities to recover and reuse residual energy and improve the performance of your steam traps.
As a fundamental component within your steam system, steam traps play a vital role in the successful day-to-day running of your system.
When steam traps are regularly maintained, your steam system will run smoothly, ensuring accurate temperature control, efficient heat transfer and effective condensate removal.
Your goal of saving energy can be achieved when you have the support of your local Spirax Sarco engineer. They are on hand to help you manage and monitor the performance of your steam traps in a way that works for you.
MillerCoors Brewery, USA
Review current systems to assess energy and water usage, to improve efficiency.
Steam trap survey uncovered opportunities in the brewery process to remove condensate.
The brewery saves 5,369,274 gallons of water and 305,894 therms annually.
Are you preparing for a sustainable future?
Do you need to uncover energy savings in your steam plant?
Wholesale gas prices have seen unprecedented hikes in 2021 which has led to many energy companies folding under the pressure. It emerged that the UK’s sixth-largest energy company with 1.7m customers, is seeking a bailout to stay afloat and this trend is set to continue.
Implementing an effective steam trap management plan, doesn’t need to be complicated. Lowering Carbon output, increased production and energy savings are all benefits you could achieve from regular management.
For plant managers, two things in life are certain: manufacturing uses a lot of energy; and that energy costs money. In fact, a survey by The Daily Telegraph and YouGov revealed that 28 per cent of manufacturing companies spend more than £250,000 a year on energy . That’s enough to make anyone’s eyes water.
Surveys cover a wide range of equipment including steam traps, high limit control equipment and condensate pumps. Each survey first measures your system's current efficiency and identifies areas of improvement and the potential savings to be gained.
Thermocompressors help you to save energy by compressing low pressure waste steam to a higher usable pressure so it can be recycled back into your process.
Time. There’s just never enough of it, especially when you’re running a steam system. Your busy job, which is full of deadlines and ever-changing demands, can leave you feeling as though there is no time to stay on top of your steam system’s upkeep.
