Case Study: a European pharmaceutical company prevents future boiler explosions with Envista Forensics

European Pharmaceutical Company prevents boiler failures across thousands of units with Envista Forensics

A European pharmaceutical company faced a significant challenge when a boiler explosion caused major damage and reduced operational efficiency at its manufacturing facility. With the root cause unknown, there was a serious risk of a repeat incident with their other identical boilers. They engaged Envista Forensics to conduct a root cause analysis investigation.

Envista Forensics’ investigation determined the explosion was caused by a diesel fuel leak due to coke build-up on multiple injection nozzles. Their solution included providing the client with actionable recommendations to prevent recurrence. The results enhanced safety at the pharmaceutical facility, and Envista's collaboration with the boiler manufacturer led to safety updates being implemented on thousands of similar boilers worldwide, mitigating global risk.
