Success Stories

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

COSPECT® Case Studies

COSPECT is a robust alternative to traditional pressure reducing valves that often offers customers over a decade of reliable service. Here we share with you some long-term results from customers who chose COSPECT.

TLV vortex flowmeters for boiler steam monitoring

This allows the hospital to monitor how much steam is being used by the old and new buildings and, by monitoring and comparing daily gas, water and steam readings, identify any significant jumps in demand.
