This National Science Foundation (NSF) SBIR Phase I award of $275,000 to Imperium Technologies, Inc. is funding the development of an innovative Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) electromechanical steam trap system. The project aims to address the issue of undetectable steam trap failures, which contribute to significant energy losses and greenhouse gas emissions across diverse industries that rely on steam generation. The new steam trap design will incorporate electronic sensors to monitor water condensation levels, provide real-time performance monitoring, and double the lifespan of traditional mechanical traps from 2-4 years to 10 years. This work is funded under the NSF's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, which supports translational R&D to commercialize scientific discoveries. The goal is to create a reliable, cost-effective steam trap system that can retrofit existing infrastructure and help reduce the environmental impact of steam generation.
