Title: TEAM UP FOR STEAM AND CONDENSATE PIPING SYSTEMS SAVINGS


1
TEAM UP! FOR STEAM AND CONDENSATE PIPING SYSTEMS
SAVINGS
  • It can be as easy as
  • fixing a leaky steam trap.

2
Why should we care?
  • For the environment
  • For the bottom line

3
Why should we care?
  • For the environment
  • Fixing a leaky steam trap can
  • capture big environmental
  • gains.

4
Why should we care?
  • For the bottom line
  • Ten pairs of uninsulated NPS 6 flanges will cause
    an annual
  • heat loss of 1,000.

5
Where is energy wasted?
  • Redundant pipes
  • Steam leaks
  • Steam trap losses
  • Heat loss through uninsulated
  • pipes and fittings

6
What can we do?
  • Housekeeping
  • Low-cost opportunities
  • Retrofits

7
What can we do?
  • 1. Housekeeping (cont.)
  • Regularly inspect and maintain
  • steam traps.
  • Fix steam and condensate leaks.
  • Ensure good steam quality by maintaining chemical
    water treatment.

8
What can we do?
  • 1. Housekeeping (cont.)
  • Repair damaged pipe insulation.
  • Shut down equipment when
  • not needed.
  • Shut down steam and condensate branch systems
    when not needed.

9
What can we do?
  • 2. Low-cost opportunities
  • Overhaul pressure-reducing stations.
  • Insulate pipes, flanges, fittings and equipment.
    (Three metres of uninsulated 10-centimetre steam
    pipe will waste more than twice as much money in
    steam costs per year than it would cost to
    insulate.)

10
What can we do?
  • 2. Low-cost opportunities (cont.)
  • Remove redundant steam and condensate piping.
  • Re-pipe systems or move equipment
  • to shorten pipe lengths to minimize
  • heat loss and steam leaks.
  • Repair, replace or add air vents.
  • Optimize the location of sensors.
  • suggestion Put sensors in the best
    locations.

11
What can we do?
  • 3. Retrofits
  • Upgrade insulation.
  • Eliminate steam use where possible.
  • Replace old steam traps or ones that are the
    wrong size or type.

12
What can we do?
  • 3. Retrofits (cont.)
  • Optimize pipe sizes.
  • Oversized while undersized pipes require higher
    pressure, lead to higher leakage and require
    extra pumping energy.

13
What can we do?
  • 3. Retrofits (cont.)
  • Depressurize condensate.
  • Recover heat from condensate.
  • Install a closed-loop pressurized condensate
    return.
  • Measure steam and condensate flows with a meter.

14
How can we do it?
  • We have the people.
  • We have the tools.

Thank you
  • Together we can make it happen.
  • Its good for the environment.
  • Its good for the bottom line.
