Our expert industrial steam system audit helps you evaluate overall infrastructure efficiency. We perform detailed steam trap inspections to identify safety risks and hidden production losses, ensuring your system operates at peak performance?
Steam system audit
Identify risks and efficiency losses within your steam & condensate system.
Detailed energy saving potential and ROI assessment for infrastructure upgrades.
Comprehensive boiler house efficiency and heat recovery roadmap for higher performance.
Why do you need
a steam system audit
Due to equipment failures and wear steam system can be different to design parameters and less safe and efficient than the design parameters.
This is a risk and limit to your growth opportunities.
We deliver plant-wide steam and condensate system audit to benchmarks performance, identify shortcomings and provide advice on energy utilization and production risk management and raising efficiency.

Steam System Audit Insights
What are the primary safety and operational risks of neglected steam systems?
1
Beyond financial losses, faulty steam traps and poor system maintenance pose significant safety risks. The most critical is water hammer — a high-velocity impact of condensate slugs against pipe walls or valves. Water hammer can cause catastrophic pipe bursts, damage expensive instrumentation, and lead to serious personnel injuries.
Furthermore, leaking traps increase backpressure in condensate return lines, which impairs heat transfer and can lead to unplanned production shutdowns. A professional steam audit is not just about efficiency; it is a vital component of your facility’s Industrial Safety and Risk Management strategy.
How do faulty steam traps impact a plant’s carbon footprint and emissions?
2
Every kilogram of wasted steam represents fuel burned that performed no useful work. One failed steam trap leads to the loss of approximately 350 tons of steam per year.
To generate this wasted steam, a boiler must burn additional natural gas, resulting in roughly 70 tons of excess CO2 emissions per year, per faulty unit. Implementing a regular audit and monitoring system is one of the fastest ways to optimize your ESG performance and reduce carbon credit expenditures.
How much water is lost through faulty steam traps in a typical industrial system?
3
The losses are often much higher than they appear. A single standard steam trap (DN15/20) failed in the "open" position can leak approximately 1 ton of treated water per day. In an average facility where ~20% of traps are typically faulty, this results in the loss of over 700 tons of water per month.
This is equivalent to an entire swimming pool of purified and treated water being flushed down the drain every month — water for which you’ve already paid utility fees, chemical treatment, and pumping costs.
