As its product range and customer base have expanded, IPL has constantly consulted with itscustomers and worked with them to develop advanced technical services that meet their needs forfast, cost-efficient solutions in crucial areas of their business.

IPL guarantee that customers get technical supportworthy of world-class products through:

The company having achieved accreditations forquality, business processes and performanceincluding:

• The industry standard quality awards approvedby Lloyds of London ISO 9001 2008

• Achilles Verify UVDB quality process systems

• A Green Business Award

• A Member of the British Valve and ActuatorAssociation

• NECC Member

• Tees Valley Small Business Award Winners

Our staff and teams of highly trained and qualifiedengineers and technicians having acquired a rangeof accredited training awards and skills through bothexternal and in house programmes.

All of these initiatives allow IPL to provide its globalcustomers with the fastest and most effectivesolutions to their specific process problems.

• Energy Loss Management Services:IPL’s flagship programme uses the following 3-stage process to stop steam and/orcompressed air systems leaking money andwasting energy: - Phase 1: a high-techsurvey; Phase 2: planned repair/replacement;Phase 3: on-going condition monitoring.

• Steam Trap and Valve Surveys: the latestultrasonic and thermodynamic equipment isused to carry out a steam trap and valve surveythat quantifies steam losses from faulty traps.

• Compressed Air Surveys: while compressedair is commonly regarded as a ‘low costenergy’, it is estimated that 10% of allindustrial energy is used to producecompressed air. This is not so surprising, whenthe cost of cooling, drying, preparing anddistributing the air is considered alongside themajor cost of operating the compressor.

THE UNIT CONSISTS OF:

The unique patented universal steam trap withintegral strainer and check valveTwo high-quality bonnetless forged steel specialstop globe valves mounted on either side of thetrap. The valves are connected by the bypasspipe, enabling the steam trap to be isolatedwhile the steam flow is maintained.Piping King units are used extensively in powerstation marine and similar applications wherecontinuous operation is essential during routinemaintenance.

Steam TrapsEssential components in every steam system,steam traps are automatic valves that maximiseefficiency by removing condensate and air fromthe flow while trapping the steam to prevent heatloss.

When they are working effectively, so is thesteam system. If they are neglected, they canleak steam and money at an alarming rate.Experts estimate that up to 50% of traps will leaksteam in a plant without a monitoring and repairprogramme – and just one leaking trap can costhundreds of pounds in wasted energy.
