Steam Solutions

Steam is the lifeblood of your process.

The steam system, often an overlooked and neglected utility, holds the key to improved equipment reliability and process efficiency, reduced energy costs and emissions, and ultimately increased profitability.

Let us help you unlock the potential of your steam system. With over 60 years in the industry, Spartan Controls combines our steam experts, Emerson’s broad technology portfolio, local service, and a consultative approach to evaluate your plant - we will help you achieve real results.

Optimize Operations & Energy Efficiency

Emerson’s leading steam solutions include: thermodynamic, thermostatic and mechanical steam traps; blow-off and blowdown valves for removing sludge and dissolved solids from the boiler drum; gauges for monitoring the boiler drum water level; and automatic recirculation control (ARC) valves for protecting the boiler feed pump. Our experts can conduct steam system surveys and recommend solutions to ensure optimal operation and enhance energy efficiency.

Stable utility operations are needed to support all production. Energy is a large part of your operating costs and emissions constraints which can increase due to poor steam system performance. Make utility performance reliable and responsive; improve efficiency; maximize low cost fuel use; and lower emissions… all at the same time.

Broad Portfolio of Reliable Steam Solutions

Steam Traps

Yarway™ steam traps have a strong reputation for reliable operation and are suitable for a wide range of applications. Our Unibody steam traps offer in-line repairable solutions for easy replacement. Our experts can conduct steam trap surveys or implement our wireless steam trap monitoring solution to ensure proper steam trap operation and minimize steam loss.

Boiler Level Instrumentation

Various solutions are available that meet the ASME requirements for direct or remote indication of boiler water level. Penberthy™ and Yarway level gauges are available for low, medium and high-pressure applications. Our portfolio of direct level indication solutions includes the Yarway Color-Port Level Gauge which has a maximum pressure rating of 3000 psig. Our Yarway electronic level solutions are suitable for remote indication of the boiler water level.

Steam Conditioning and Desuperheating

Desuperheaters can be used in many applications to efficiently reduce the temperature of superheated steam to the desired set point. Available variations are mechanically atomized (both fixed geometry and variable geometry) and steam assisted.

Steam University Seminar

A Practical Approach To Understanding Steam Systems

Steam University is a comprehensive introduction to final control applications in steam systems. The purpose of the course is to provide an overview of key steam generation and distribution applications, including boiler blowdown, boiler level monitoring, pressure relief, steam trapping, pump protection and pressure reduction. The course includes real-world examples, best practices, selection criteria and maintenance tips for effective operation.
