Steam Trap Survey and Condensate System Management

Failed steam traps silently blow live steam or waterlog systems, wasting large amounts of energy on African factories, mills and hospitals. This programme trains maintenance and energy staff to survey, test and maintain steam traps and manage condensate recovery. Delegates learn to quantify the losses from failed traps and build a survey routine that protects both energy and process performance.
