Steam and condensate

Full steam trap programs: we survey and tag every trap with a stamped stainless steel tag, test each trap two independent ways (ultrasonic with UE Systems UltraProbe 15,000 and surface temperature), and deliver a baseline report of failed-open, failed-closed and leaking traps with estimated steam loss in pounds per hour. We replace failed traps with quick-change trap stations and install wireless acoustic and temperature monitoring that reports through our own cellular gateways, so nothing touches the customer's network. We also repair steam and condensate piping, valves, strainers and condensate return lines in tunnels and mechanical rooms.
