Marspec Technical Products was recently awarded an order for the design and construction of a steam trap manifold for an Alabama manufacturer of thermoplastic products.Originally, the customer used different types of steam traps from various manufacturers without knowledge of how the traps would affect production. Marspec's Craig Simons and Wayne Hoggle performed a walk-through survey focusing on improvements to reduce energy usage and improve productivity. The team realized that by using correctly selected steam traps in a well thought out installation, the facility could cut the amount of steam used per unit of production.
Craig and Wayne recommended that the customer install TLV J-series free float steam traps and SpeedWrap high tech thermal insulation. The TLV J-series team traps are unequaled in removing air and large slugs of condensate on batch processes. Reduced startup time means more production and improved profitability. The SpeedWrap insulation product keeps more of the conden
sate's heat in the line for return to the boiler. Hotter returned condensate means less fuel is needed to create steam.Marspec was given the go ahead to develop the manifold in the photos. In a matter of days, the Marspec shop assembled the manifold and added the removable insulation.
Marspec can design a unique steam trap manifold for your plant, too.
