One of the most common energy carriers in the petrochemical industry is water vapor, which is mainly used as a heating medium in process plants. The effective functioning of steam supply, condensate collection and return systems is one of the criteria that affect the cost of production. Improper organization of the steam supply system leads to overuse of heating steam, uneven operation of the steam system and emergency situations. This paper analyzes possible problems in steam supply systems in the absence or incorrect operation of steam traps. The specific indicators of the object of study, circuit solutions and the economic efficiency of the use of steam traps are calculated.
