Can Steam Boilers Help Lower Carbon Emissions?


Miura has an interesting post about how their industrial steam boilers fire up quickly and produce steam in under five minutes. This means less energy is needed - especially when paired with an economizer - and results in lower carbon emissions than legacy steam boiler systems.


Miura’s watertube steam boilers are designed for optimal heat transfer. Their boilers are a modular system of compact boiler units that can fire up quickly and produce steam in under five minutes to meet fluctuating steam load demands. Only the boiler units needed are activated, while the rest can be left in standby mode until more steam is required. As a result, fuel is only burned to produce steam when necessary, lowering emissions, fuel waste, and associated fuel costs.


Economizers are another important component because they can recover heat from the combustion exhaust to increase the boiler’s efficiency. A heat exchanger helps pull heat off the exhaust port to preheat the feedwater tank water to about 140 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
