Pre-fabricated modules are expertly engineered, ready-to-install units that integrate various steam accessories (like steam traps, air vents, and check valves) into a single, compact, and optimised package.

They offer significant advantages over traditional on-site assembly, including faster installation, reduced labour costs, improved system reliability, and enhanced safety by ensuring proper component selection and layout. These modules provide a standardised, high-quality solution for efficient condensate and air management. In complex steam systems, installing individual components like steam traps, isolation valves, and strainers can be time-consuming, labour-intensive, and prone to installation errors. Thermax's pre-fabricated modules address these challenges by providing complete, factory-assembled, and tested units. Each module is designed for a specific function (e.g., condensate drainage, air venting) and combines all necessary components into a single, compact block. This approach not only simplifies installation but also ensures consistent performance, reduces the potential for leaks, and minimises the overall footprint. They are a "plug-and-play" solution that accelerates project completion and enhances the long-term reliability of the steam system.

 Key Industries/Applications:  

  • Industries: All industries utilising steam, particularly those with new plant constructions, expansions, or those looking to standardise and improve existing steam distribution networks, such as power, chemical, food & beverage, textile, paper, etc.
  • Applications: Draining steam mains, process lines, steam tracing headers, heat exchanger outlets, and any location where efficient condensate and air removal is required with minimised installation effort and enhanced reliability 

Technical data

  • Product capacity / performance range: Designed to integrate steam traps and other accessories of various capacities and pressure ratings, the module's performance is dictated by the installed components
  • Compliance or standards: Manufactured under strict factory quality control, the components meet relevant international standards, and the module design ensures compliance with piping and pressure safety standards
  • Design, flexibility or customisation:  
    • Module types: Available for various functions (e.g., thermodynamic trap modules, float trap modules, air vent modules, compact TD trap modules)
    • Component integration: Combines steam traps, isolation valves, strainers, check valves, and sometimes sight glasses into one block
    • Materials: Typically constructed from durable materials like forged steel or stainless steel
    • Connections: Standardised screwed or flanged connections for easy integration into the main piping
    • Customisation: Can be selected based on specific trap types, pressure ratings, and connection requirements to match application needs 

Product features

Ease of installation & operational flexibility
Dramatically reduces on-site installation time and labor. Simply connect the module to the main piping. Their compact design saves space, and integrated components enhance operational flexibility by providing all necessary functions in one unit
Fuel flexibility & performance output
By ensuring correct installation and optimal performance of integrated steam traps and air vents, these modules directly contribute to improved steam system efficiency, leading to lower fuel consumption and maximum heat transfer
Innovative technology & smart controls
Innovative system assembly approach using integrated, pre-engineered units to minimise human error and optimise component synergy
Structural strength, load handling & efficiency metrics
Factory-assembled robust construction ensures structural integrity and minimises leak risks from on-site joints, improving efficiency through effective condensate and air removal and reduced energy waste
Environmental impact & cost saving
Reduced installation time and labour costs with lower leak risks and optimised performance deliver operational savings, while reduced energy use lowers carbon footprint and supports sustainability
