The Enetrap is a completely new type of steam trap, provided by Eco First Co., Ltd., a company dedicated to developing environmental measures and energy conservation.
The primary purpose of the Enetrap is to prevent steam leakage. By reducing steam leakage, the plant’s pipelines are filled with hot and sufficient steam, which stops excess steam generation and leads to reduced fuel consumption. Let’s strive for “decarbonization.”
According to research by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and TEPCO, approximately 50% of steam production is not utilized as a heat source in steam-powered plants.
By confirming its high energy savings, we have significantly reduced the number of control tasks at plants using it and estimated that no problems will arise even if the product (main component) warranty exceeds 5 years.
We’ve created a system to help you consider the Enetrap. How about doing the following?
1. Review by Providing Materials
Upon request through the contact page, we will send you digital data. Please review our standard materials. If you contact us and let us know where you would like to use Enetrap, the plant, etc., we will prepare a sample of what we can provide, based on a previous plant.
2. Q&A at Remote Meetings
If you are interested in the materials, you have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session at a remote meeting. Before the remote meeting, we will send you samples of Enetrap itself, nozzles, etc., so you can experience Enetrap firsthand.
Since this is a remote meeting, everyone likely to be involved in the future should also attend.
3. Conduct Comparative Testing
We will conduct a comparative test to confirm the effectiveness of existing steam traps (preferably spare or new factory-fitted ones) and power traps to confirm the effect of steam leakage reduction.
This is an important opportunity not only to quantify the energy savings but also to understand the ease of use of the energy trap.
If access to and from the outside world is difficult (as is the case with our company, Eco First) due to the coronavirus crisis, we will provide you with a test kit.
4. Survey of existing steam traps
After you have confirmed the effectiveness of the comparative test, survey the steam trap to estimate the approximate energy savings (reduced steam leakage: decarbonization) to determine the priority for replacing it with an energy-efficient steam trap.
5. Deployment plan
Agree on your budget and develop an implementation plan that takes into account the priorities for replacing steam traps.
6. Installation and adjustment of nozzles
When installing a steam trap, the first optimization of the nozzles is to apply steam to check for steam leakage. During the comparison test, it’s easy to see the operation, but our technicians will be present as much as possible to help you optimize your injectors.
7. Preparing Energy Savings and Decarbonization Reports
Let’s spend some time working in the energy trap, collecting data as needed, and compiling reports related to energy savings and decarbonization.
