Normal float traps fail to work under vacuum/stall conditions on the process application. Under such circumstances, the steam trap is either bypassed or the process vessel gets water-logged leading to multiple issues.

The Forbes Marshall Steam Operated Pump Trap is an innovative product which can work either in trapping or pumping modes automatically, depending on the pressure difference across the trap.

In case vacuum/stall condition arises, SOPT uses the pressure of motive steam to discharge the condensate. Under normal circumstances, it operates like any other float trap. SOPT can significantly improve productivity and product quality of processes prone to stall and vacuum conditions.
