Smart monitoring for steam trap systems

Many steam trap sites are still working with steam trap surveys that are only undertaken annually, with survey results that can be many months out of date. Out of date data prevents timely maintenance of faults – raising the cost of steam leaks, reducing product quality with suboptimal steam delivery, and increasing the safety risks from failed traps.
Gloucestershire( UK) based DCO Systems is working to modernise steam trap monitoring with cost-effective smart monitoring systems that eliminate manual monitoring, enabling real-time analysis and information sharing.
Individual steam using sites vary significantly from a single boiler system to multiple boiler campus wide installations. Sites may require a full end to end solution or simply wish to integrate steam trap monitors into their own data warehousing and analytics platforms. DCO can supply monitoring equipment from a standalone steam trap monitor for end-user integration, through to a fully installed end-to-end solution to meet site requirements.
The Easy STM range of wireless, energyharvesting steam trap monitors feature the broadest set of sensor data for an unmatched view of the performance and operation of your steam system. With minimal installation requirement and zero maintenance through use of energy harvesting technology that enables battery-free operation.
DCO’ s range of Steam Trap Monitors( STM) introduces more capabilities in 2025 to the class leading sensing options already available. Designed and manufactured in the UK the Easy Steam Trap Monitor range is expanding with new options for enhanced sensing and easier installation and commissioning.
