Inspections steam and condensate systems 

Steam and condensate systems (condensers, steam traps, and condensate lines) form a relatively neglected area. Yet proper engineering and management may lead to substantial savings outside the boiler house. Through a focused inspections programme ETS assists you in improving on the performance of your installation in a safe way.

Feasibility studies 

Low-energy installations are advantageous from the viewpoint of rising energy prices and greenhouse effects, but need to be profitable as well. ETS evaluates financial and technical feasibility of investments on the basis of two economical principles: “SPOT” (Simple Pay Out Time) and “Internal Rate of Return”. In the evaluation we take into account factors such as technical and financial rate of depreciation, maintenance costs and costs of personnel.

Purchase advice and management 

Given the expected life span of steam installations (>25 years) the purchase of a new steam installation is a rare occasion. ETS has the required expertise to support you in this process. Together with you we lay down the requirements, taking into account technical management, price versus quality, reserve capacity, and any specific demands. Based on these requirements we invite tenders from a select number of suppliers of whom we expect (based on our expertise) a fitting and favourable proposal. We visit the location with these suppliers to ensure that their tenders adequately address your needs. The tenders are compared with regard to the fulfilment of specifications, proposed technology, and the relation between price and quality. ETS comes with a report on this comparison and a sound advice on which offer to accepet. ETS takes care of all communications and thereby takes a lot of work off your hands.

Project management 

Mistakes during the construction of an installation may lead to delayed delivery or even breakdown during operations. With supervision by ETS in the construction phase you may prevent this sort of problem. We ensure clear agreements before and during construction and record these in an encompassing report. We also co-ordinate any changes in construction plans. If necessary we negotiate with the supplier on your behalf.

Training and information 

The individual components of a steam installation may be relatively simple in technical terms, but the interrelations are often complex. ETS provides information and courses regarding steam installations as well as on the job training. Our services further include the set up of custom tailored logbooks and experience logs (both required by law in the Netherlands).

In 2008-2010 we developped an modulair training manualin the english language. You can decide wich parts of thsi manual are applicable for your company. Trainings are given in-company, your personel is trained on your installation and only subjects applicable for your steam system are given in this traningsprogram.
