Preventing Pipe Rust: Hotel Management and Cost Reduction during the COVID-19 Pandemic

On September 16, 2022, an article advertisement for NMR Pipe Protectors was published in the morning edition of the Mainichi Shimbun under the theme "Let's Think About SDGs Together." The article introduces an approach to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all by switching from pipe replacements that generate high CO₂ emissions to extending the life of pipes with zero CO₂ emissions. This is achieved by keeping the construction costs for pipe (replacement) work in apartments, schools, water facilities, and government buildings to 1/10 to 1/20 of the usual costs.

An interview article featuring our CEO, Katsuuki Kumano, about the "NMR Pipe Protector" has been published in "coki - Visualizing Public Utility." The article introduces the features of our flagship product, the "NMR Pipe Protector," and discusses its approach to the SDGs from coki's perspective. "coki - Visualizing Public Utility" is a web service that visualizes corporate sustainability through "thank you." By visualizing stakeholder relationships, it can communicate sustainable corporate value to society that is not reflected in financial statements.

An article from our company has been published on the electronic publishing platform "Medium"! Excerpt from "Everything You Need to Know About the Red Rust Prevention Device 'NMR Pipe Protector'" 1) Common water supply pipes in buildings such as apartments deteriorate over time due to red rust, making the red rust prevention device "NMR Pipe Protector" necessary. All buildings, including apartments, hospitals, hotels, and schools, have plumbing for baths, sinks, kitchens, and laundry. The piping material is generally a vinyl-lined steel pipe (abbreviated as VLP), which has a layer of PVC on the inside to prevent the iron from coming into direct contact with water, thereby preventing the occurrence of red rust. However, while there is no red rust formation in the straight sections of the pipe, red rust does occur at the joints between pipes, at the connections with copper alloy valves, and at the elbow joints made of copper alloy used to bend the pipes at right angles, as the cross-section of the pipes comes into contact with water. The joints where the pipes connect with various components are fastened with screws, and since the threads are on the iron side, they gradually deteriorate due to red rust, leading to a loss of thread over time. After about 20 years, the number of remaining threads is reduced by about half. For more details, please see the related links below.
