STEAMGARD® Technology/ Petrochemical, Ethanol And Biodiesel Industries

STEAMGARD® Technology/Applications

THE STEAMGARD SYSTEM® is appropriate to a wide spectrum of applications within the petroleum and petrochemical industries:

  • Process Reboilers, Evaporators, Dryers, Condensers, Melt Drums, Boiler Preheat Coils, Storage Tanks, Turbines and Turbine Pumps, Jacketed Vessels (Reactors) and Catalytic Crackers
  • Steam Distribution Superheated and Saturated Steam, Condensate Return
  • Tracing Tubing, Jacketed Piping and Traced Tanks

STEAMGARD® Technology/Summary

Some of the many problems typically encountered with mechanical steam traps in the petroleum and petrochemical industries include:

  • Process Frequent Downtime, Pressure Surges, Slow Start-up, Energy Loss and Misapplication of Steam Traps
  • Distribution Steam Loss, Water Hammer, Steam Quality and Maintenance Cost
  • Tracing Inefficiency, Misapplication, Energy Loss and Inconsistency in Trap Applications
  • Some of the causes of these problems: Improper Sizing of Steam Traps, Inadequate Condensate System, Insufficient Insulation, Misapplied Traps, Incorrect Sizing Of Steam Tracing and Malfunctioning Control Valves

STEAMGARD® Technology/Results

First year results in a plasticizer plant generated $158,000 in savings with THE STEAMGARD SYSTEM® installed in process, distribution and tracing applications.

In another chemical producing facility, an $85,000 project generated payback in three months due solely to reduced steam consumption.

In a third resin producing plant, where steam consumption dropped from 3,600 lbs/hr to 3000 lbs/hr, originally skeptical maintenance personnel reported that "nothing but condensate was being returned to the boiler."

In a fourth facility, a major US-based refinery, steam losses conservatively valued at $1.7 million per year forced consideration of an additional boiler. After installation of THE STEAMGARD SYSTEM®, savings in fuel and steam were expected to exceed $1.7 million and the greatly improved efficiency eliminated the need for another boiler.
