In turn, the boilers being produced at the Rockmart plant are the most efficient in the world. In terms of boiler size, Miura is building boilers up to a third smaller than competing models of similar capacity. "Think pickup truck instead of tractor trailer," Wright says. Common in industrial boilers is a long start-up time. While initial engagement to full steam production often takes a couple of hours for most boilers, Miura has reduced the cold start time for "water-to-steam" production to just five minutes. And in an age of uncertainty and fluctuating fuel costs, the option of alternative fuel types on which to power equipment is priceless. Miura's LX Series boilers can run off of either natural gas or propane, while its EX models give customers even greater options including natural gas.
Time and energy efficiency help most businesses where it counts, and Miura estimates that based on today's fuel costs, the average dollar savings Miura customers enjoy in steam production is approximately 20 [percent] over other boiler designs." And with Miura's advanced diagnostics system, one that automatically sends data to Miura from the respective customer's facility, any inefficiencies can be quickly diagnosed and corrected. The "green" benefits offered by Miura Boilers include not only reductions in oil and space consumption, but also the lowest NOx output in the industry and reduced CO2 emissions. Garnering the seal of approval by the U.S. Green Building Council, a standard-setter in the new green economy, Miura is on track to become an industry leader in boiler innovation and production here in the United States.
