Steam traps are a significant source of water and energy use, and proactively addressing potential leaks can create more sustainable operations. Conagra Brands’ facility in Imlay City, Mich.—known primarily for its Vlasic pickles brand—set out to review and optimize its steam traps to reduce steam and water loss, which has the additional benefit of carbon emissions reduction associated with that process.

After an initial analysis by a third-party, the Imlay City facility identified 12 trap assemblies with improvement opportunities. With new steam traps, the independent assessment determined that nearly 139,000 gallons of usable boiler feeder water could be saved each year and carbon emissions associated with the 12 steam traps have the potential to be reduced by 78 tons per year.
