Energy Saving by Introduction of the Gas Turbine Cogeneration System

摘要

Located in the city of Amagasaki,Hyogo Prefecture,where the Kanzaki river a tributary stream of the Yodo river,the source of which is Lake Biwa-flows into the Osaka bay,the Kanzaki mill is an urban-style mill in the Kei-han-shin metropolitan area.The mill has 25 million population in its background.The mill started the production of coated paper in 1922.The coating technology has been handed down to us through the mill's long history.Since then,it has undergone various changes,the mill is well known as a mill manufacturing various processed paper by the communication paper.Here,in Amagasaki,as same as in other industrial arrears in Japan,we must positively make efforts to solve the problems in order to meet more severe environmental standards on air and water pollution,legislated by Amagasaki city and Hyogo prefecture.Since the mill introduced gas turbine cogeneration system instead of conventional and gas boiler and steam turbine generating system in September 2003,we introduce the way and result of energy saving by taking this system as a case.
