About Imperium Technologies, Inc.

Imperium Technologies is redefining how industrial steam systems are managed. Our patented InteliTrap® is the first electronic steam trap, engineered to last 8–10 years and deliver reliability mechanical traps cannot match. Paired with SteamView®, our IIoT monitoring platform, each trap becomes a real-time data source — turning a single device into a full steam system health monitor.

This combination empowers operators and service providers with continuous visibility, quantified energy losses, and verified repairs, shifting steam management from reactive to proactive. The result is reduced operating expenses, minimized downtime, improved reliability and safety, and measurable reductions in fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions. Early customers have validated this value by purchasing at premium prices and requesting additional units after initial trials.

Problem statement

Imperium Technologies addresses a critical gap in the steam industry, where inefficient and failing steam traps cost companies millions annually in energy loss, equipment damage, and unplanned downtime. Traditional steam traps are prone to failure, require manual inspection, and lack real-time data capabilities, resulting in significant operational inefficiencies.

Steam production consumes 37% of all fossil fuels worldwide, yet outdated steam traps waste more than $100B of steam every year. These mechanical devices fail silently every 2–4 years, forcing operators to replace up to 20% of traps annually. The result is massive energy loss, millions in operating costs, equipment damage, and unplanned downtime across industries.

Beyond financial waste, failing traps are a major source of unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions, undermining corporate ESG goals and climate commitments. Current solutions — periodic audits or short-lived mechanical replacements — fail to provide reliability or real-time visibility. This leaves the steam industry locked into recurring OPEX spend while missing opportunities to cut costs, improve uptime, and reduce emissions at scale.

Traction information

Commercial Demand – Sold out first production run; purchase order secured for the second; 10% LOI already placed for the third.

Customer Validation – Trial with a major San Francisco Bay Area energy provider showed clear cost and reliability savings;two customers immediately ordered more units and paid 2.5x price to secure early devices.

Patent Protection – 1 awarded and 2 filed patents cover both InteliTrap® and SteamView®, ensuring strong defensibility.

External Recognition – Awarded an SBIR grant, providing non-dilutive funding and third-party validation of innovation.
