558 Tonnes of steam saved through 80% increase in mainline steam trap uptime for a food processor in Indonesia

A food processing plant manufacturing crackers in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, had only 20% uptime of its mainline traps. Forbes Marshall recommended thermal energy conservation solutions to improve mainline steam trapping.

Objective

PROBLEM

Trap uptime was 20%

Maintenance of the existing system was difficult

Inline maintenance was not possible

Solution

SOLUTION

Forbes Marshall recommended and implemented thermal energy conservation solutions. Leaking traps were replaced by compact module thermodynamic traps (CMTD) to ensure efficient trapping, reducing steam loss.

Benefit

BENEFITS

Steam trap uptime increased from 20% to 100%

Compact module thermodynamic traps are easy to maintain with inline maintenance being possible

Annual steam savings of 558 Tonnes (1,230,178 Pounds)

Annual monetary savings of USD 12,200 (~IDR 203,776,547 *converted based on exchange rate)
