Optimizing Steam System Performance:
an Introduction to the U.S. Department of Energy’s BestPractices Program

Steam plants can typically improve steam-system efficiency by 15 to 20 percent. If you are responsible for maintaining reliable, safe, and cost-effective steam operations, this event is for you! This workshop provides access to industry experts, money-saving software tools, and reference material for optimizing steam systems. This workshop will help you, identify major and minor improvement opportunities; measure and prioritize improvement projects; access technical and financial resources; and use energy efficiency to achieve your goals for reliability, productivity, safety, codes compliance, and profitability. A recent follow-up survey found that 94% of respondents said that the workshop was moderately or very helpful, even after time had passed. 79% of respondents made improvements since the workshop, including those respondents who attended a workshop only six months prior to the survey.
