Energy can be as much as 35% of a facility's total operating cost. Operating profits can be significantly improved by implementing a comprehensive energy management program. In many cases, a facility's total energy picture is out of focus with respect to equipment needs and dollars lost in day-to-day operations. Energy management programs are value added tools to recoup disappearing profits. These VALUE ADDED tools can trim millions of dollars from a facility's operating costs.

ADDED VALUE #1 - Steam Trap Services

CLICK TO DETERMINE YOUR STEAM TRAP LOSS

Initiating a periodic steam trap survey program will identify failed traps in your system. These failed traps cost a facility money in lost steam and condensate as well as decreased thermal efficiency in your steam system. In addition to these problems, water hammer and corrosion are directly correlated to ineffective condensate removal. An effective steam trap management and repair program can reduce trap failure to as low as 5%, saving a facility as much as $500,000 per year or more depending on the size of the steam distribution system. Team offers you:

• Professional technicians to test individual steam traps
• A steam data management system to maintain your facility's steam survey information and data
• Reports that (1) allow you to determine the status of your steam system, (2) predict product loss, and (3) contain recommended maintenance actions that are cost-effective
• Experienced Team technicians to replace failed traps
• Periodic resurveys to insure your steam distribution system maintains a predetermined efficiency

ADDED VALUE #2 - Steam System Leak Survey

CLICK TO DETERMINE YOUR STEAM LEAK LOSS

Significant losses associated with steam system often come from leaking valve packings and flange/connectors. TEAM's experienced technicians can perform steam leak surveys separately or simultaneously to a trap survey. In addition, TEAM's leak sealing experience can be utilized to cost effectively fix steam leaks without a process unit shutdown. Team offers you:

• Professional technicians to perform leak surveys
• A data management system to maintain your facility's data
• Product loss predictions to allow you maintenance prioritization
• On-stream leak repair services to help you avoid costly shutdowns or product losses until scheduled shutdown.

ADDED VALUE #3 - Air System Leak Survey

CLICK TO DETERMINE AIR AND NITROGEN LOSS

Air system leaks are routinely ignored by many manufacturing facilities. This area alone may have the greatest potential for savings for a facility. A single leak can cost a facility thousands of dollars depending on the system's pressure and effective leak size.
