Steam Trap Surveys

Steam trap surveys test and document the operational status of traps, utilizing both ultrasound and temperature differentials. Survey documentation details a complete trap inventory including location, type, and application engineering. Survey reports also include a full economic analysis (return on investment) and recommendations for specific trap improvements.

 



Compressed Gas Surveys

Compressed gas surveys evaluate and document leak locations, applications and pressures. Utilizing ultrasound technology, we will scan for any compressed gas leaks and identify them. Survey reports also include a full economic analysis (return on investment) and estimated costs associated with compressed air leakage as well as recommendations for station improvements.

 



Installations

Installation is performed by qualified, fully experienced technicians. By utilizing our experienced specialists you avoid post installation problems. Additionally experienced installation teams ensure minimized downtime. Making use of APM’s installation resources allows you to maximize your resources by not taking valuable maintenance or operation personnel from your core operations.

 

 



Steam System Troubleshooting
& Repairs

Having invested in your steam system it makes economic sense to maintain it at its optimum operational efficiency. Steam system troubleshooting can identify causes of large volumes of live and flash steam losses. You can also eliminate waterhammer in the steam and condensate loop. The final report documents recommendations aimed at improving energy/emission losses, steam generation and distribution, engineering practices/correct applications, health and safety and heat recovery/return of condensate..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Inspect and Repair Steam Traps (DOE).
    In steam systems that have not been maintained for 3 to 5 years, between 15% to 30% of the installed steam traps may have failed—thus allowing live steam to escape into the condensate return system...

  • Remove Condensate with Minimal Air Loss.
    Removing condensate is important for maintaining the appropriate air quality level required by end uses. However, significant compressed air (and energy) losses can occur if condensate removal is done improperly...
