2. Safety:
• Water Hammer – Can cause larger reliability issues, introducing safety risk
• Minimize Time in Plant – Eliminate routes to unsafe areas
• Slips and Falls – Condensate released into atmosphere can increase risk of slick floor
Energy Loss:
• Blow through – Live steam being blown into the environment can have a major impact on steam
generation costs and ultimately, operating budgets.
Steam Quality:
• Critical for certain industries like tire manufacturing, life sciences and food & beverage
• Cold traps can affect the steam consistency through the entire steam system
Reliability:
• Water hammer, impingement, corrosion or freezing can be caused by failed steam traps,
resulting in major reliability issues.
Time / Focus:
• Steam traps take a long time to manually monitor. It usually can only be done once or twice per
year. If a steam trap fails, it will likely not be noticed for 6+ months.

1. Risko, J., Understanding Steam Traps, Chemical Engineering Progress, Feb 2011
2. U.S. Department of Energy
Statistically, expected steam trap failure rates
range from 12.5% to 25% every year1
5-10% of total energy cost are typically lost
through leaking steam traps2
Cold steam traps can cause water hammer,
ruptures and out of spec product resulting in
millions dollars of damage
Blow-through steam traps can result in tens of
thousands of dollars in excess energy costs
Steam Trap Failures Impact Energy Use, Safety, Environmental and Financial Performance
“20% of steam leaving a boiler is lost
through failing steam traps”2

Blow Through, no communication)
Emerson installs an enclosure on-site
that includes a 1410 WirelessHART
Gateway, Cellular Router and a edge
computer (if necessary)
Steam trap diagnostic information is
sent to Emerson Center of Excellence
(CoE) via cellular signal
Emerson CoE uses Plantweb Insight
to generate weekly failure reports and
monthly energy reports

Alert Codes
Steam Trap Status Activity Report
Blow Through Trap:
1) Steam Trap may have a mechanical failure causing it to stick open.
2) Steam trap may have a temporary failure due to improper installation.
3) Steam trap may have acoustical interference due to surrounding equipment failure.
Cold/Plugged Trap:
1) This steam trap may have a mechanical failure or could be plugged with solids.
2) It could also be flooding or undersized for application making it unable to remove enough condensate.
3) Otherwise the steam supply could be turned off.

Fast ROI for Steam Trap
Monitoring
Fluor Global Services
Lacked visibility into steam system,their
largest energy consumer. Wanted to improve
energy efficiencyand overall productivity.
Their need for high quality steam meant that
60% of traps were critical. 708s were
installed on the critical traps to monitor
operation.
Saved $100kin Preventive Maintenance.
Led to increase in productionof 5,000 tons.
Increased Productivity
North America Coffee Plant
Unable to find cold or leaking steam traps
early to reduce energy use.
Simple installation: site visit to identify critical
traps. Quote, order,ship 90 units. Install,
commissionand configure.
