Japan Blood Products Organization Kyoto Plant

High-performance once-through boiler with reliable maintenance support

Japan Blood Products Organization Kyoto Plant

They were established in 2012 with the goal of achieving domestic self-sufficiency and a stable supply of blood donations. They convert blood donations of goodwill into plasma fractionated products and supply them to medical institutions that support those who need them. Their Kyoto plant is one of the largest manufacturing facilities for plasma fractionated products in Japan.

Reason for Selection

Boiler replacement along with pure water equipment renewal
Emphasis on maintenance support, not just products

We use boilers to produce “pure water” that is safe for the human body. The boilers are a piece of equipment that can never be shut down in order to provide a stable supply of pharmaceutical products to the medical field. We decided to replace our old boilers with new NTEC boilers after considering not only the energy efficiency and performance, but also the maintenance system. We were reassured by their sales and maintenance staff’s words, “You can trust us with our service!” The boiler replacement has reduced our fuel consumption and we are very pleased with the energy savings.

Once-through boiler
Super EQOS

Super EQOS

Compact and high-efficiency 3t/h once-through boiler

We proposed that they replace the old boilers (once-through boiler [2t/h] x 8 units) with new ones (Super EQOS EQi-3000NM [3t/h] x 5 units). This model produces the largest amount of evaporation as a small boiler, and we are confident in its efficiency and functionality. Since their boilers are used for the manufacture of medical products and they also pay great attention to the boiler water treatment, we installed a dissolved oxygen monitor for the feed water to the boiler system. We also provide the best maintenance and inspection services by checking the status of the boiler equipment and fulfilling their requests to make sure that the equipment is not shut down due to malfunction.

Customer Evaluation

They were concerned not only with the performance of a boiler, but also with safety and security. Initially, they were apprehensive about switching from our competitor’s boilers to ours, but thanks to the prompt and friendly response from our maintenance staff and the maintenance service that meets their needs, they are now using the boilers with peace of mind and satisfaction.

Reason for Selection

Understand where heat is going and use it effectively

We used to use NTEC’s competitor steam boilers for hot water supply, heating and cooling, and autoclaves. However, with the introduction of individual air conditioning and the electrification of the autoclaves, steam was used only for hot water supply. NTEC proposed a change to a hot water system that did not use steam, and after considering the possibility of cutting our gas costs by about half, we decided to go with the hot water system. The reduction in fuel costs was not only just as estimated, but it also gave us more space to expand our rehabilitation room, which in turn allowed us to provide more comprehensive rehabilitation services to our patients.

System conversion from
steam to hot water
Zero Steam®

Zero Steam®

Energy and cost savings by converting steam system to hot water system

The conventional steam system was used only for hot water supply, and there was a waste in discarding excess heat from the steam. Therefore, we proposed them a hot water system that directly supplies hot water. The system can save energy and cost without changing the use of the hot water. The EOL-100 is compact, highly efficient, and easy to operate.

Effects

When heat (steam) is used only for hot water supply, it is optimal to convert the steam system to a hot water system. By converting to a hot water system, they have eliminated heat loss due to sensible heat from steam condensate and blowdown and cut their fuel costs nearly in half. They have also eliminated the need for boiler chemicals and Class-1 pressure vessel inspections required with the steam system, which also saves them money.

Gas consumption down by  approx. 50%
Boiler maintenance costs is 0 yen

Reason for Selection

Boiler replacement with the high-efficiency
/high-function Super EQOS boiler for energy savings

Our previous 10 t/h and 8 t/h firetube boilers had aged and we decided to install the high-performance and high-efficiency EQi-6001 boilers after internal discussions based on various proposals from NTEC, including energy saving. We are now amazed at the great energy saving effects and the overwhelmingly stable steam pressure.

High-efficiency/high-function once-through boiler Super EQOS

The Super EQOS EQi-6001 boiler has extremely high energy-saving performance and can control the combustion rate according to the load of their equipment, and they are satisfied with its energy-saving effects and stable steam supply after installation. The EQi-6001 has also been highly evaluated for its combination operation with the existing boilers. We will continue to provide “good products and services” to our overseas customers in the same way as we do in Japan.
