University steam boilers

Optimized Steam Solutions for Colleges & Universities

Colleges and universities depend on steam for heating, hot water, dining facilities, research labs, and laundry operations. With rising energy costs, sustainability goals, and fluctuating steam demand, institutions need a reliable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solution.

Miura’s on-demand, modular steam boilers provide immediate steam, lower fuel and water consumption, and compact design, making them the ideal choice for colleges and universities looking to reduce costs and meet sustainability initiatives.

Sustainable & Energy-Efficient Heating Solutions

Many universities still use outdated, inefficient heating systems that consume excessive water and fuel. Miura’s low-water-content, modular steam boilers heat only the exact amount of water needed, minimizing waste while delivering consistent, high-efficiency heating.

  • Uses 33% less space than traditional firetube boilers
  • Reduces water consumption for lower utility costs
  • LX-Series boilers: Ultra-low NOx emissions (5ppm)
  • EX Dual-Fuel boilers: NOx emissions as low as 30ppm with fuel flexibility

By switching to Miura, universities lower CO₂ emissions, cut fuel costs, and meet sustainability goals without compromising performance.

On-Demand Steam for Fluctuating Campus Needs

Steam demand varies seasonally and throughout the day—spiking in winter and during peak hours, then dropping in summer or overnight. Traditional boilers waste energy by running continuously, even when demand is low.

  • Rapid Startups: Full steam in under five minutes
  • Modular Configuration: Boilers cycle on and off as needed
  • Boiler Sequencing: Smart rotation extends system lifespan.
  • Automated Steam Load Adjustment: Eliminates fuel waste

Miura’s intelligent on-demand system adjusts in real-time, ensuring universities only use the steam they need, when they need it with in-service efficiencies approximately 20% better than similar boilers, helping universities conserve fuel and energy, saving costs, and lowering CO2 and NOx emissions.

Reliable Backup Steam for Critical Campus Operations

Colleges and universities require uninterrupted steam for:

  • Heating dormitories, classrooms, and dining halls
  • Powering research labs, medical centers, and athletic facilities
  • Providing hot water for kitchens and laundry services

Miura’s modular system ensures that if one boiler goes offline, others automatically compensate, preventing disruptions. EX Gas and Oil Series steam boilers are designed to switch between natural gas, propane, or #2 fuel oil, offering instant fuel security in the event of curtailments.

Safer Boiler Operation & Easy Maintenance

Campus safety is a top priority, and Miura boilers are designed with built-in safeguards to protect both operators and students.

  • Low water content: The water tubes inside a Miura boiler use roughly 10 percent of the water found inside a conventional fire tube boiler. This low water content means less stored energy within the pressure vessel, and any issue within the boiler remains localized, lowering the risk of catastrophic failure leading to casualties.
  • Remote monitoring systems: Miura’s remote boiler monitoring technology includes Miura Connect. This web-based portal uses the latest Internet of Things (IoT) technology to run real-time diagnostics and track the health of all the connected equipment in a boiler system. Boiler room operators and Miura experts can receive instant text or email notifications from boiler room equipment cautions or alarms to take the necessary steps to prevent damage to boilers or harm to personnel.
  • Maintenance safety: A Miura boiler is safe to inspect and maintain. Inspections are highly automated – Miura boilers don’t even have manways or manway covers because technicians never need to climb inside a boiler for routine maintenance or assessment.

Miura’s web-based IoT system sends instant text or email alerts for quick issue resolution, preventing downtime and ensuring smooth campus operations.

Space-Saving Design for Growing Campuses

Real estate on college campuses is valuable, and oversized traditional boiler systems take up unnecessary space. Miura’s compact, modular steam boilers:

  • Require 33% less floor space than conventional firetube boilers
  • Allow for flexible boiler room layouts and easy system expansion
  • Can replace outdated centralized systems with decentralized, high-efficiency units

Universities can maximize space for classrooms, dorms, and research labs while improving overall energy efficiency.
