What is Complete Steam Trap Management?
Whether you want to check the health of your steam traps, or partner with us to ensure your processes run trouble free, our Complete Steam Trap Management programme can be tailored to suit your needs, offering a total customer solution.
The benefits of Complete Steam Trap Management:
Ease of maintenance whilst ensuring maximum up time
Supply and installation of replacement components that are quick and easy to maintain by either your maintenance team or our experienced service teams to ensure reliable delivery of steam to your process. This reduces the risk of unplanned failures and lowers the overall cost of ownership of the steam system.
Sustainable energy savings and reduced carbon emissions
Returning condensate to your boiler feed tank can save energy costs and reduce the need for replacement water and treatment chemicals, all the while maintaining production and product quality.
Productivity and process improvement
Healthy steam traps enable the steam system to deliver the thermal energy required for your process applications to operate effectively. Condensate in your steam supply can affect the operation of applications, causing issues such as slow start up times and poor heat transfer. Removing the condensate from your system allows the steam to perform its task within your process efficiently.
Easier to expand production
Effective steam trap management is essential if you are expanding your production line or have plans to grow your process in the future. Seamlessly connecting new and existing steam systems requires an integration partner that you can trust. For new steam and thermal energy projects, we have a specialist team dedicated to helping keep your project on track and within budget during design, installation, commissioning and ongoing support.
Improved health and safety
As with all the utilities in your plant, steam must be well managed to ensure safe operation. Steam traps that are unable to remove condensate from your system pose a potential hazard. Effective steam trapping allows condensate to be removed from your system, reducing the likelihood of potentially hazardous situations.

Steam trap survey
A steam trap survey conducted regularly is a good starting place to better understand your steam system. It involves a detailed on-site inspection of your steam traps by our trained technicians who will assess the condition and suitability to ensure optimum performance.
Supply and installation of steam traps
Selecting and installing the most suitable steam trap ensures a more reliable, long-lasting, and efficient system. We can work with you to perform this work as efficient as possible, from offering advice and supervision, performing the necessary maintenance work on site, to project management of more complex installations.
Steam trap management
Our bespoke Steam Trap Management service can be designed around your needs to meet the maintenance requirements of your steam traps. The service can be flexible, but would typically include regular surveys, supply of replacement steam traps and the completion of the necessary maintenance activity.
Wireless steam trap monitoring
Even the most rigorous steam trap survey regime has a risk that some failures could be missed, and during this time performance of the plant could be adversely affected. This service takes the elements in the Steam Trap Management service and adds the solution of continuously monitoring your steam traps.
