STEAM & TODAY’S INDUSTRY
The U.S. Department of Energy found that in total, over 50% of the input fuel used by the U.S. manufacturing sector is used to generate steam, at an annual cost of over $18 Billion! (Fred Hart, David Jaber., Steam Digest 2001“Best Practices In Steam System Management”) Note: At the same time, the DOE estimates that a typical industrial facility can achieve steam savings of as much as 20% by improving its steam system.
