Steam Trap Management: Your Short Video Guide
Effective steam trap management ensures that you retain the benefits that efficient steam traps provide. A Spirax Sarco steam trap survey is the first step to realising these benefits.
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 Management plans
A Spirax Sarco Steam Trap Management Contract will give you complete peace of mind that your steam traps are being regularly surveyed and maintained. Any steam traps found to be needing maintenance will be specified, supplied and installed as part of the fixed price contract. The cost of a Steam Trap Management Contract is typically far less than the cost of the average energy loss caused by not maintaining your steam trap population regularly.

Steam Quality - 5 Key Questions You May Ask
Steam is an incredible heat transfer medium. Every kilogram of steam contains around 2200 kj of condensable energy. That’s 26 times more usable energy than a kilogram of water in a typical heating system based on flow and return temperatures with a delta of 20oC.
The evolution of steam and what does 'good' steam look like
Steam is an incredible heat transfer medium and, it’s come a long way from its traditional associations with locomotives and the Industrial Revolution. Today it’s an integral, clean and essential part of modern technology. Without it, our food, textile, chemical, medical, power, heating and transport industries could not exist or perform as they do.
Rising fuel prices – what you need to know
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.
