Emerson Confidential 4 Emerson Confidential Slide 4 Why Monitor Steam Traps Send personnel to the trap only when necessary and better prepared SafetyReliabilityEnergy Quality & Throughput EnvironmentProductivity Prevent damage to equipment caused by water hammer, water impingement, erosion, corrosion, and freezing Take action when failures occur. Don’t wait weeks, months or years. High value traps can fail open costing $10,000- $100,000/year Focus plant resources on core competencies and less time performing manual steam trap audits Improve yield and product quality by assuring steam quality; resulting in better temperature control and transfer of steam enthalpy Reduce the environmental impact from failed open steam traps, which can waste 50-500 tons of CO 2 annually when using natural gas boiler fuel

Emerson Confidential 11 Emerson Confidential Slide 11 Pressure Relief Valve & Steam Trap Monitoring The first audit showed 25% of steam traps were failing, that were unknown. Payback in one year in energy savings by correcting issue. Continually reduce environmental impact by reducing energy usage, but unable to determine how much energy they were wasting. Fluor Global Services “A simple cost analysis based only on energy savings, the installation of the steam trap monitoring was easily justified, because the solution paid for itself within one year. Not to mention the savings from avoiding equipment damage, and avoiding safety or environmental incidents” - Fluor Global Services, Emerson Exchange 2013 CHALLENGE Monitoring of 187 steam traps and 63 pressure relief valves to ensure proper operation, avoiding equipment damage and wasted energy via lost steam. SOLUTION RESULTS

Emerson Confidential 12 Emerson Confidential Slide 12 Real Solutions “We know that if we don’t take care of our steam traps on some routine basis, after a few years we could have anywhere between 25% and 35% in some failed condition… We would impact our fuel bill by anywhere between 8% and 10% a year.” Dan Dvorak, DuPont Engineering Technology In steam systems that have not been maintained for 3 to 5 years, between 15% to 30% of the installed steam traps may have failed. Energy Tips – Steam, U.S. Department of Energy A large pharmaceutical company recently experienced four plugged traps causing severe hammering and shock waves for hours, resulting in a 6-hour site shut-down and more than $250K in repairs.
