Using its latest TrapMan TM5
testing equipment, TLV Euro
Engineering is contracted to
provide regular steam trap surveys at
all 13 UK-based BOCM Pauls
animal feed sites.
To gain ISO14001 accreditation each site needed to monitor energy use to improve efficiency and reduce energy. TLV was asked to carry out a steam survey to not only determine whether a trap is working correctly, but to accurately quantify the steam losses in traps that are leaking.
A total of 552 traps were tested, of which 89 (16%) were found to be leaking. TLV estimates the cost of the leaks at £95,000 and 435t of CO2.
