A importância da inspeção e manutenção de purgadores em linhas de vapor: estudo de caso.

Abstract

The maintenance of equipment is essential to ensure the availability and the correct functioning of the productive systems, guaranteeing their safe and and continuous operations. With this, we know that steam traps are critical in systems which steam is used, which is the subject of this work, we deal with the inspection and maintenance of steam traps in steam lines, making the installation and control of these parts. Thus, there will be a deepening on steam and its specificities, operation of steam traps, consumption of the plant, project costs, etc. For the the project the supplier of 40% of the plant's steam traps was contracted with the objective to inspect the 649 steam traps of different models, identifying steam losses and losses and flaws in the correct operation. The objective is to make energy savings during the project, which will start in 2020. And that in 2021, already impacted by a 1% reduction in the company's energy consumption, where the table has an annual goal of 2% reduction reduction and the ambition to reduce energy consumption by 50% by 2050.
