Miura: The Leading Steam Solution for Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals rely on safe, efficient, and reliable steam for sterilization, heating, humidification, and laundry services. Miura’s modular, on-demand steam boilers provide instant steam availability, lower emissions, and fail-safe backup solutions, ensuring continuous operation in critical healthcare environments.
Maintaining indoor air quality – Hospitals require humidity levels between 30-60% to help prevent virus, mold, and bacteria growth.
Sterilization – Steam-powered autoclaves ensure surgical instruments and medical tools remain free of contaminants.
Heating & Hot Water – Steam systems provide consistent heating throughout large hospital buildings, even during peak seasonal demands.
Laundry & Sanitation – Steam is essential for hospital linens, staff uniforms, and patient bedding, ensuring hygiene and infection control.
Why Hospitals Choose Miura Steam Boilers
1. Dual-Fuel Flexibility for Uninterrupted Steam
Many hospitals operate on interruptible fuel plans, allowing utility companies to curtail gas supply during peak seasons. Miura’s EX Series Dual-Fuel Boilers can seamlessly switch between natural gas, propane, and #2 fuel oil, ensuring steam never stops when it’s needed most.
Immediate fuel switching at the push of a button
Prevents costly downtime in the event of gas curtailment
Reliable steam availability for critical hospital operations
2. Instant Steam & Backup Readiness
Hospitals can’t afford long startup times. Unlike traditional boilers that take hours to generate steam, Miura’s modular boilers can produce full steam in under five minutes.
On-demand steam for sterilization, heating, and humidification
Fail-safe backup system ensures uninterrupted operation
Multiple units share the load, firing up only when needed

Top Benefits of a Miura Hospital Boiler
Miura prioritizes safety, reliability, and efficiency when providing hospitals with world-class steam solutions.
1. Dual Fuel
Boiler room at St. Luke’s Hospital in Missouri.
Hospitals are critical infrastructure, so they must have a backup fuel source should their main fuel be unavailable to heat the hospital and provide steam for sterilization. Dual-fuel boilers allow hospitals to switch between fuel options for increased reliability.
If a hospital is running on an interruptible fuel plan to enjoy lower annual rates (which in turn gives their utility company permission to turn off a hospital’s gas supply during the peak season to prevent high gas demands and short supplies), then a dual-fuel boiler is necessary to maintain steam output.
The EX-Series is our dual-fuel boiler line. These boilers are equipped to run on gaseous fuels (natural gas or propane) and #2 fuel oil. In the event of curtailment of the primary fuel, our boilers can quickly and easily fire the alternative fuel, preventing unexpected downtime and ensuring ongoing steam and heat production.
“The hospitals have to be able to have redundancy fuel if there is a natural gas interruption, and with the Miura boiler, you can simply do that with the flip of a switch.” Mike Mazzei, Boiler Divisions Manager for Premium Solutions
2. N+1 Redundancy
In addition to alternative fuel, hospitals are required to maintain onsite backup capacity for critical infrastructural systems. In the case of hospital boilers, N+1 redundancy refers to a failsafe where if one steam boiler fails, there is a backup boiler to take its place to meet the hospital’s ongoing heat and steam requirements.
The Miura Boiler offers many benefits in regard to redundancy:
Turn On Only When Needed: Unlike traditional firetube steam boilers, which need several hours to heat up, a Miura Ex-Series boiler can fire up immediately to prevent unnecessary and costly idling, keeping the boiler warm.
Cost Effective: Miura modular boiler systems only require one of the modules as a backup and not a full system backup. This greatly reduces the cost of the N+1 redundancy.
Small Footprint: An EX series boiler’s compact design frees up precious space for a hospital to put to other use instead of housing a large backup boiler.
3. Compact Size
In the healthcare industry, real estate comes at a premium. Many hospitals are discovering that with compact technology like Miura steam boilers, which occupy 33% less floor space than a typical firetube boiler, they no longer have to invest in one or two massive boilers that take up large amounts of space.
4. Safety
Miura boilers are safer by design, protecting technicians and operators from unnecessary injuries like burns, cuts, or falls. Not only does their low water content help prevent catastrophic failures, but their compact size and easy accessibility, coupled with Miura’s state-of-the-art remote monitoring technology, make them safer for operators to install, use, monitor, and maintain.
Miura boilers are highly-automated and offer operators access to real-time data about the state of each boiler unit, so they can take preventative action where necessary to prevent anything from going wrong.
5. Efficiency
As hospitals become more “green” in response to climate change and national and regional emissions regulations, they must have a steam solution that aligns with the rest of the facility’s sustainability goals. An efficient steam boiler burns less fuel to generate steam, which helps lower operating costs and reduce harmful CO2 and NOx emissions.
6. Reliability
Hospitals provide perhaps the most critical services to people; therefore, they need a completely reliable steam solution that is always in proper working order. The EX-series boiler is easy to monitor for issues before they become a real problem. Each boiler has its own BL controller, which alerts operators and technicians of any faults with a boiler and what the issue is. Miura Connect gives operators, managers, and technicians a remote and real-time view of all the connected critical steam infrastructure in a hospital’s boiler room. According to Greg Ludwig, Lead Service Technician at Premium Solutions, this leads to critical time savings:
“We are not on site all day trying to figure out a small problem. With the real-time data, we can get in, get to it, get it set up, get it corrected.”
