Overview

The importance of trapping steam, steam trap types and operating principles. Basic design considerations including line sizing, costs associated with poor trapping, sizing and selection examples, operational condition monitoring, consequences of incorrectly operating steam traps and trouble shooting.

This is an entry-level presentation, aimed at those who may have never interacted with a steam system previously, or who may benefit from a refresher. This is also a good foundation for those considering moving on to the remaining seven topics on the subject of steam in our suite of presentations.

This webinar is aimed at:

• design engineers
• installing contractors
• project managers
• C&I engineers
• commissioning engineers
• quality engineers
• process engineers
• production managers
• utility engineers
• boiler house operators
• carbon energy and sustainability managers
• health and safety managers.

You will gain a high-level understanding of how (un)reliable design, maintenance and operation of the steam generation system can impact on individual objectives.
