Process Steam & Steam Traps
If your facility uses steam boilers, it probably has multiple steam traps. Steam traps are automatic valves that release condensed steam while preventing the loss of live steam. They allow steam to flow at a controlled or adjusted rate for optimal energy efficiency. Eventually steam traps fail -- and when they do, steam can be wasted and energy lost. Even one major leak can cost your business thousands of dollars!
Cash incentives are available for a variety of process steam projects, including:
- Steam trap surveys
- Steam trap repair or replacement
- Mass replacement of steam traps (without survey)
Please Note: The Process Steam/Steam Trap program was first introduced on June 23, 2011; therefore, only projects that are started after June 22, 2011 are eligible for these incentives.

Real Results
A private university in Illinois replaced 500 steam traps in their buildings with the help of $15,000 in cash incentives from ActOnEnergy. The university is now expected to save over $9,000 annually in energy costs thanks to these new steam traps.
