Food & Beverage Major Australian Bakery Rises with Low-Pressure Steam Major Australian Bakery Rises with Low-Pressure Steam Issue: High product reject rate after oven start-up due to lack of moisture in steam Solution: COSR pressure reducing valves installed at oven entry to regulate steam moisture, improving batch quality and saving time, energy, and resources SteamAqua Offers Instantaneous Hot Water via Indirect Heating with Steam SteamAqua Offers Instantaneous Hot Water via Indirect Heating with Steam Issue: A large water heating tank inside the factory causes problems for the workers and cannot reliably supply hot water Solution: Switching to SteamAqua for their hot water supply improves cleaning and production efficiency, saves factory space, and reduces costs TLV Helps China Brewery Greatly Improve Equipment Reliability TLV Helps China Brewery Greatly Improve Equipment Reliability Issue: Frequent steam leaks require constant maintenance, lower production efficiency Solution: Optimizing the mash tun’s steam heating system prevents leakage and eliminates failures TLV supplies steam equipment to Ringwood Brewery TLV supplies steam equipment to Ringwood Brewery Issue: Undetected trap failures responsible for excess energy costs each year Solution: Performing a steam trap survey reveals 8 out of 30 traps have failed; replacing these with TLV products and installing COS-Rs at the brewery yields higher efficiency and dependabilty. TLV Provides a Sweet Solution to Tangerine's Hot Water Supply TLV Provides a Sweet Solution to Tangerine's Hot Water Supply Issue: Unable to consistently produce hot water needed for cleaning processes Solution: TLV provides the HeatPack, a packaged heat exchanger capable of rapidly supplying high volumes of hot water TLV valve improves heat transfer at Greencore site TLV valve improves heat transfer at Greencore site Issue: Greencore wishes to increase the efficiency of 10 cooking vessels on site Solution: TLV’s CV-COS, a pneumatic control valve with a built-in separator and steam trap, improves the quality of Greencore steam and allows for quick changes in pressure needed to cook different sauces. 2. Oil Refinery PETRONAS Refinery Achieves Significant Savings with Help of TLV & Enproserve PETRONAS Refinery Achieves Significant Savings with Help of TLV & Enproserve Issue: Trap failure rate of 53% causes huge financial losses Solution: Failed traps swapped for TLV models, maintenance plan implemented to keep failure rates to a minimum Singapore Refining Company Teams Up with TLV for Major Energy Savings Singapore Refining Company Teams Up with TLV for Major Energy Savings Issue: High trap failure rate and low reliability causes problems for management Solution: Implementing TLV products and strategizing with TLV results in improved steam trap management and financial savings 3. Animal Feed Processing TLV to provide regular steam-trap surveys of all BOCM Pauls animal-feed processing sites TLV to provide regular steam-trap surveys of all BOCM Pauls animal-feed processing sites Issue: BOCM Pauls suspects steam trap failures at many of their sites, but cannot identify the failures without proper equipment Solution: Using the TrapMan TM5, TLV diagnoses each trap and estimates the potential losses caused by failures. Finding the results very useful, BOCM Pauls extends the survey to all of their sites. 4. Textiles & Laundry Services TLV Helps Synthetic Leather Manufacturer Achieve Energy Savings TLV Helps Synthetic Leather Manufacturer Achieve Energy Savings Issue: Leakage from steam traps and bypass valves, as well as poor steam distribution and condensate discharge piping design, causes energy costs to rise Solution: TLV replaces valves and improves the design of piping, which leads to lower fuel consumption and energy costs Johnsons Stalbridge Linen Services' laundries utilize TLV steam pressure reducing system Johnsons Stalbridge Linen Services' laundries utilize TLV steam pressure reducing system Issue: Steam pressure must be reduced from 10 bar to 6-8 bar for synthetic linen processing Solution: TLV introduces CV-COS to the system, allowing for automatic pressure control as well as condensate separation and an improved system layout TLV's flash steam recovery system cuts launderer's costs and reduces emissions TLV's flash steam recovery system cuts launderer's costs and reduces emissions Issue: Meeting an annual steam demand of 870 tons requires improvement in system efficiency Solution: TLV develops a flash steam recovery system, allowing steam to be re-used and reducing the burden on the boiler TLV monitors steam trap conditions at Sunlight TLV monitors steam trap conditions at Sunlight Issue: Steam trap failures undetected, unable to address Solution: TLV supplies the PT1 Pocket Trapman, allowing on-site engineers to regularly test steam traps and quickly address failures 5. Logistics TLV Fixes Fukutsuka Transport's Water Heater Failure TLV Fixes Fukutsuka Transport's Water Heater Failure Issue: Steam-fired water heater leaking, with temperature adjuster broken Solution: Faulty water heater replaced with the SteamAqua®, allowing for trouble-free sterilization with large volumes of hot water on tap 6.
