Steam Trap Performance Assessment in Razi Petrochemical Complex

Steam traps are automatic valves used in steam lines to remove condensate, air, and other non-condensable gases and their performance significantly affects the passing of steam. If condensate is allowed to be collected, it reduces the flow capacity of steam lines and the thermal capacity of heat transfer equipment. In addition, excess condensate can lead to "water hammer," with potentially destructive and dangerous results. About 20ʹ/. of the steam leaving a central boiler plant is lost via leaking traps in typical heating systems without proactive assessment programs. By using portable test equipments, the losses can be significantly and easily reduced. TrapMan is a computerized steam trap management system for predictive trap maintenance, including a software program for evaluation of the test results. This survey has been conducted to measure steam leakage from 50ʹ/. of steam traps at Razi Petrochemical Complex. In this survey, implementation of a comprehensive program suggested, resulting in 13.7 $M.Yr cost effective energy saving.
