ATMECO CIMS - Steam Trap surveys

Facilities without a periodic program to monitor steam trap performance and an associated maintenance response plan typically have failure rates for failed open steam traps of 15-30% of a facility's steam trap population.

For a facility with 1000 steam traps this failure rate translates into a reduced profitability of at least several hundred thousand dollars per year in steam loss alone! And this does not take into account other full or partial failure modes – all of which compound losses.

ATMECO steam trap surveys typically have paybacks of less than one year.

Benefits include:

	Savings through reductions of steam loss through failed open traps and through leaks associated with the steam trap stations.
	Increased equipment reliability due to reduction in damaging condensate in steam lines.
	Improved product processing through improved quality of steam (hot and dry).
	Reductions in equipment repairs, down-time, and replacement costs.

ATMECO steam trap monitoring surveys

ATMECO steam trap surveys are structured, regular programs monitoring steam trap performance using latest thermographic and ultrasonic sensing technologies – all failure modes are detected, both partial and complete.

Detailed certified reports are provided to the client indicating the observed condition of each steam trap, test results, and steam/energy loss estimates.

ATMECO’s steam trap programs also feature aggregated summaries and prioritized maintenance response reports.

When undertaken in conjunction with a certified ATMECO Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) program, clients can achieve considerable cost savings.

ATMECO’s steam trap programs also build upon the extensive component identification, analytical software and database tools that support other aspects of our ATMECO Component Integrity Management System – CIMS.
