At Kumamoto Red Cross Hospital, the introduction of the NMR Pipe Protector has resolved the issue of red rust. To explain how the NMR Pipe Protector removes red rust, it converts red rust into black rust. Unlike red rust, black rust does not dissolve in water and has a volume that is one-tenth of that of red rust. Therefore, it can also solve the blockages caused by red rust. In 2014, as a measure to prevent the deterioration of piping, the NMR Pipe Protector was introduced in some systems at Kumamoto Red Cross Hospital, and due to the recognized anti-corrosion effects, it was implemented throughout the entire facility in 2016. In a water quality survey conducted before the introduction of the NMR Pipe Protector, the iron content in the hospital's air conditioning hot water was high at 12.3 mg per liter due to red rust dissolving in the water. However, after converting the surface of the red rust to black rust, it was reduced to just 0.07 mg in only two weeks, achieving a concentration reduction of approximately 82%. Kumamoto Red Cross Hospital's section chief, Ogawa, also stated in the Air Conditioning Times of 2018, "We noticed the clarity within a few weeks after the introduction," clearly demonstrating the effectiveness of the NMR Pipe Protector. By deciding to implement the NMR Pipe Protector, Kumamoto Red Cross Hospital has not only been able to protect the medical environment from leaks caused by red rust but has also been able to allocate more budget to other areas.
