Water hammering

Frequent shutdown

Noise pollution

To achieve a sustainable zero leak steam system by implementing a steam trap management system.

Steam Trap System Management - audit, rectification and sustenance by Forbes Marshall.

Phase 1 :

Total steam traps population : 12,000

Steam trap performance rate: 29.72%

Steam loss identified: 23 Ton/hr

Phase 2 :

Supervision of the steam trap system rectification by Forbes Marshall and replacement with Forbes Marshall products.

Improved steam trap performance rate : 97.6%

Steam savings achieved: 21Ton/hr

Phase 3 :

Sustain the achieved performance for next 30 Months.

Steam trap performance rate : 98%

Steam savings achieved further: 4.39 Ton/hr

Reduction in Steam losses.

Increased steam system reliability.

No water hammering.

Increased steam trap life.

Savings in fuel consumption.

Reduced noise pollution.

Improved steam leak factor from 0.96 Kg/MT (2017) to 0.37Kg/MT (2019) - CHT audit.
