Steam Boilers for Chemical Processing
Control & Precision when it Matters Most

Chemical processing facilities are regimented, regulated and controlled environments with staff monitoring all facets of production. Clean, controlled steam boiler systems are often a key part of a chemical processing plant’s system. Specializing in ultra-low NOx modular on-demand steam solutions, Miura manufactures industrial boilers that are reliable, safe, and efficient in keeping up with the fluctuating batch processes that call for large steam demand swings in a short period of time related to the chemical manufacturing processes.

Here are some ways a Miura boiler system can make a difference:

CHEMICAL PROCESSING
Heating & Cooling Reactors

During a complex chemical manufacturing process, reactors must be heated up and cooled down in a cyclical manner. To ensure a proper and efficient turndown of cooling reactors that won’t waste steam, it’s important to choose an on-demand boiler solution that is designed to handle the peaks and valleys of day-to-day production. The unique “once through” design of Miura boilers enables them to produce steam from a cold start in five minutes or less. It also means they can store less water, making them compact in design.

Chemical Processing
Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Companies involved with manufacturing and processing chemicals are often mindful of their environmental impact and can be required to follow closely to industry regulations and guidelines where they are monitored closely for harmful emissions. Miura’s on-demand steam design save companies significantly on energy costs and emissions. With Boilers that can operate with a lower flame temperature, Miura units are known for their low emissions of harmful gases. Releasing much less CO2 and nitrogen oxides (NOx) than their conventional counterparts. This helps companies conform to their environmental commitments and green initiatives. Reduced energy consumption, less intrusive downtimes and low emissions have combined to make the switch to Miura boilers an excellent investment for many chemical processing manufacturers.

Chemical Processing
Adapting to Fluctuating Needs

Chemical processing facilities often operate 24/7 and can experience radical shifts in demand for steam at different times. When it’s time for chemical reactors to heat up, large amounts of steam will be needed. But when it’s time for the reactors to cool down, steam demand drops considerably. For these needs, the ability to configure the Miura boilers in modular sequence has proven quite efficient. The quicker the start-up time from a cold start, the better the boiler is for chemical processing. As an added bonus, installing a modular system of several smaller boilers can be much more energy efficient because they can fire up and power down alternately as demand changes.
