STEAM SYSTEM PROBLEM SOLVING
Bill was one of two vendors selected by BP to survey their 27,000-trap population in Whiting, IN. The project was completed ahead of schedule.
Flint Hills Resources selected Bill to test their 5,000-trap population
and plot all traps on internal drawings.
Stepan Co. implement a steam reliability program for their 4,000-trap population. The steam reliability program included testing and tagging all steam traps using scannable QR asset tags.
Cargill selected Bill for their ‘Energy 20-Mile March Initiative’ for steam trap surveys and air leak surveys at selected US and Canadian facilities.
JBS/Pilgrim’s Pride selected Bill as one of seven vendors to join their engineering and procurement group on a 3-Year ‘Drive Cost Savings’ campaign. The team planned projects to reduce energy and water usage and improve process flow.
Directed trap installations and compiled energy savings for refineries in the tar/oil sands of Alberta Canada.
Bill has expert knowledge in the operation, testing, evaluation and sizing of all types of steam traps. His recommendations have led to significant reductions in fuel, chemical and makeup water, solving such problems as inconsistent heat, high back pressure, waterlogged steam lines, water-hammer and air locking.
