STEAM TRAP SURVEY
Typically as many as 25% of steam traps in an installation are faulty,
costing many thousands of dollars in wasted energy.

Delta is able to offer a full survey of your steam trap installations by utilising the
Armstrong SteamStar software management system detailed below.

Achieve Best Practice Steam Trap Management with SteamStar™

The first and only Web-based application for measuring,
monitoring and management steam trap information, SteamStar™ can:

• Improve steam system efficiency.
  SteamStar provides diagnostic reporting at various levels of organisational responsibility.
  The reports permit the evaluation of current conditions and provide the knowledge necessary to make money-saving decisions.
• Achieve best practice energy management goals. History has shown that companies maximise sustainable cost savings only when energy results are measured, monitored and managed on a consistent basis. SteamStar is the Web-based tool that can bring data together – by site, by region and by company – to help achieve your best practice energy management goals.
• Save valuable time. Steam trap data from multiple sites are usually presented in different software formats and with different qualifying terminology.These variables can make managing steam system information difficult and time-consuming. SteamStar offers a platform for company-wide steam data to be viewed and analyzed without wasted time.
• Eliminate software-licensing costs. Licensing agreements can cost tens of thousands of dollars for initial software purchase – and thousands more if the software is to serve multiple users.
  The Web-based SteamStar platform eliminates licensing fees, slashing the up-front investment.

The SteamStar™ Web-based application will also:

• Evaluate steam trap data. Continuous steam trap monitoring captures real-time
  steam trap operation data from SteamEye (the automated steam-trap monitoring tool
  that provides accurate and constant information from each steam trap).
  SteamStar translates this information into actionable reports.
  All of the reports in SteamStar are designed for best practice management.

Executive Summary

• Steam and Monetary Loss
• Defective Trap Report
• Manufacturer’s Summary
• Trap Evaluation by Application

Provide company benchmarking.
This report offers management a wide analysis of which sites are working to reduce steam losses and which are lagging behind.
It also highlights any areas of concern in terms of high steam trap failure rate compared to total monetary losses.

Prioritise work orders.
The work order report was designed for optimum facility payback on
labour and materials while keeping energy losses to a minimum.
The report is available at the site or unit level and will create a
work order for steam trap repairs based on payback.

Plot historical trends.
The trend analysis report will assist managers in comparing data from multiple years.
The data available for comparison are steam loss, monetary loss, fuel consumed and emissions created.
As with other reports, the trend analysis can be compared by site and/or region.
It will also track emissions of CO2, SOx and NOx and highlight the progress made toward steam system efficiency and dollars saved

Summarize emissions data.
This report focuses on the quantifiable emissions of CO2, SOx and NOx and provides one summary view.
The report is especially beneficial to users who are penalized by governments for high levels of emissions.
