Targeted Drip Leg Improvements Reduce Steam Loss and Strengthen System Reliability

Steam Survey Reveals Hidden System Losses

When a large chemical manufacturing facility experienced excessive condensate across its steam system, a site-wide drip leg survey uncovered hidden losses affecting equipment performance and reliability. The survey identified 90 plugged drip legs and an estimated $114,000 in annual steam losses, giving the facility clear opportunities for corrective action. By addressing excess condensate, the site reduced stress on critical equipment and improved overall system efficiency. Download the case study to see how targeted steam system improvements reduced operating costs and supported long-term reliability.
