The achievement of sustainable steam system improvements can be realized through long term effective management of the steam resource and the tailoring of system improvements and component upgrades to achieve the lowest overall cost of ownership.

As a first step in the process, Novaspect proposes to partner with your facility in the on-going management of your steam trap population. Our experienced testing crews will perform an initial survey of your trap population using TLV’s TrapMan steam trap management tool. The TrapMan is the only testing device certified by Lloyd’s Register to the ISO 7841 standard that makes an objective judgment of steam trap operation based on known data. Together, we will create a data base of condensate drainage points and begin to build a sustainable steam trap management system.

We will work with you to map, number, tag and test the trap population; documenting trap performance and quantified savings opportunities. We will identify cold traps, allowing you to reduce the risk of damage caused by freezing and report low temperature traps that may indicate process improvement opportunities through complete condensate drainage.

At the conclusion of the survey, you will receive a suite of TLV TrapManager reports as PDF documents and a copy of your survey data in Excel format. For the second and subsequent surveys we will also provide a historical Inspection History report to identify repeat failures, indicating the need for further evaluation of the specific application.

Ten years of steam trap survey data indicates that of your total trap population:• 59.8% are functioning correctly • 2.4% are blowing at an annual loss of $1,835.19 per trap• 11.1% are leaking at an annual loss of $495.52 per trap• 16.7% are out of service• 4.9% have a low temperature reading, indicating sub-cooled

condensate• 4.7% are blocked• 0.4% are failed due to other miscellaneous causes

Effective, accurate management of the steam trap population pays dividends through reduced steam consumption, lower utility costs and improved process efficiency, control and throughput; every steam dollar saved contributes directly to company profitability. Increased system safety and reliability is realized through the elimination of leak and / or freeze caused piping issues.

TLV TrapMan Steam Trap Survey $1,250.00 / 8 Hour Day Travel & Expenses additional

Survey to consist of:

• Two person testing team• Steam trap survey conducted using TLV TrapMan steam trap testing tool• Labor to install permanent metal tags with area and trap number if required

- Customer to provide direction specific to tag area and trap number to be installed • Labor to install temporary visual identification of failed traps via a plasticized paper tag; tags to be marked with trap

number and mode of failure using permanent marker - Not in Service - Blocked - Low Temp - Leak, Small - Leak, Medium - Leak, Large - Blowing

This proposal assumes the following:

• Customer to provide a plant map marked with trap locations or a blank plant map and an orientation tour of areas to be tested for the testing team prior to the commencement of the survey

• Inlet of each trap to be tested is accessible and un-insulated• All traps are accessible from a safe, normal working platform; customer to provide access to traps not accessible

from a normal working platform or in restricted areas

No later than 14 days following completion of the survey, Novaspect will provide:

• TrapManager electronic database in Excel format• TrapManager Master Log Report as a PDF document• TrapManager Failed Trap Report as a PDF document• TrapManager Inspection History Report as a PDF document

- Applicable for second and subsequent surveys

Options:

• Temporary Area / Trap number tags – per package of 50 $15.00• Temporary Failed Trap tags - per package of 50 $15.00• Permanent Stainless Steel Area / Trap number tag - each $ 1.50• Pre-survey TrapMan Database population - data entry - per hour $25.00
