    This paper presents the energy saving effect which was gotten by introducing the Fe-based coal additive to prevent Clinker generation to solve troubles on our pulverized boiler.
    Nippon Paper Industries installed the new pulverized boiler which called N1boiler and the new steam turbine which called N1turbine in Kushiro mill in 2004, and has begun electric power wholesale business with accumulated know-how to operate pulverized boilers.
    After into commercial operation, we had been suffered from the following problems on the N1boiler.
    •Huge clinker growth which is over the furnace wall bottom. And peeling off of it had made unexpected halting the boiler operation due to the bottom ash conveyor trip.
    •Plugging trouble on the heating element of the Ljungstrom type air preheater caused by ash and sticky acid ammonium sulfate (NH4HSO4) which was produced by ammonia leakage from the NOx removal reactor combined with SOx. And also the acid ammonium sulfate sticks discharge electrodes and collecting electrodes in the electrostatic precipitator that have possibility of making the precipitator trips due to short-circuit.
    And we have thought that above problems has made reducing the boiler efficiency due to the insufficient heat exchange in the air preheater and the short supply of the combustion air. So, to solve the problems, we have started inject Fe-based coal additive with Clinker generation prevention effect. As a result, we achieved an enough problem solving and energy saving.

    NeOCOAT is a next generation eco-paint which consumes heat by converting thermal energy to kinetic energy using `heat-exchange molecules’ in paint. NeOCOAT can be applied to a wide range of surfaces including roofs, pathways, sports grounds, parking areas, indoor surfaces, and play equipment.
    In addition, it is effective in reducing air-conditioning costs and controlling condensation.

    In recent years, oil prices have been rising. Furthermore, after the Tohoku Earthquake (2011), energy-saving is important challenge for not only at a company but at the home. A company must make an effort more by shortage of electric power supply.
    Also, in the Manufactuaring department Futatsuka, the energy-saving committee was established in 1990, and we have been implementing energy saving activities every day.
    And now, a large-scale investment is reduced and it is not expected improvements in equipment replacement. We are going to build up small results to achieve the target in the difficult situation.
    This report introduces the contents of a measure and the examples in energy-saving activities.

    The nuclear power plant disaster after the Tohoku Earthquake in 2011 had especially caused concern about power shortage in summer, and power saving & measures against power shortage had taken not only at factories but at home.
    Among others, Kansai region (area) has highly relied on nuclear power generation and also any nuclear power plants in this area didn’t operate in first half of 2012. Therefore, power shortage had been increasing serious problem.
    Under the circumstances, as measures for energy saving, we’re introducing our cases such as resuming operations of gas cogeneration facilities which had been halted in response to the power company’s request, and energy saving activities at the industrial water facilities which showed the effect through steady efforts of small group movement.

    Interest in FEMS (Factory Energy Management System) which performs energy optimization of the whole factory is increasing because of issue of global environment and electric power shortage. FEMS makes it possible to reduce energy and satisfy the demand of a factory. The past results show about 0.5∼1% of fuel cost and greenhouse gas can be reduced by FEMS. The effect by FEMS is not only an economic aspect. It can be said that greenhouse gas was reduced, because the fuel to burn is reduced.
    We developed FEMS in 2003. After that, we have suggested and supplied FEMS to many customers. We have continued development based on a customer’s demand and improvement. As a result, FEMS became high-precision control and a system which has an attractive support function. This paper introduces the concept and System configuration of FEMS, the function of On-line FEMS and Off-line FEMS. After that, it explains some features of our specific technologies which are calculation method of cost merit and multi-objective particle swarm optimization method. Multi-objective particle swarm optimization method makes it possible to become cost optimization and Greenhouse gas minimization simultaneously.

    At our YONAGO mill, all members are working on the target “1.5% reduction of the total energy of our mill”.
    However, it is becoming more and more difficult year by year to find new or drastic energy-saving matters.
    In spite of this difficult situation, by focusing on several projects, we have been successful in reducing the energy consumption of our mill continuously.
    This paper reports how we can achieve our target, and our energy-saving cases.

    Used paper has been the main raw material for papermaking. In particular, the percentage of used paper accounts for more than 63% in Japan. Among a variety of used paper, by establishing the used paper processing technology in accordance with the application, we have attempted to increase in used paper utilization.
    Used paper recycling in Japan has a long history as it can be found it in the recording of the Heian era. As raw material for paper, used paper came to be used in earnest, it is 1950’s that began to blend the recycled newsprint into paperboard. Then we came to blend the used paper into newsprint paper and low grade printing paper from 1970’s. In Japan, for the following reasons, it began to use large amount of the used paper. a) Preparing for the depletion of the wood resources in the future, b) Energy consumption for pulp production process and the cost of the raw material is lower than fresh pulp. Moreover, with the development of the ink removal techniques from used pulp, the amount of the used paper has grown rapidly. This time, we outlines how to process the used paper into pulp through pulping process and stock preparation process.

    Fundamental characteristics and potential applications of cellulose nanofibers prepared from wood bleached chemical pulps by TEMPO-mediated oxidation are reviewed based on the results obtained in our laboratory up to now and during collaboration studies with companies and university laboratories. Significant amounts of C6-sodium carboxylate groups can be formed selectively on crystalline cellulose microfibril surfaces in wood pulps by TEMPO-mediated oxidation in water at pH 10 within 2 h. The TEMPO-oxidized pulps with sufficient amounts of carboxyl groups are then convertible to highly crystalline nanofibers uniform 3-4 nm in width and>1μm in length, which are individually dispersed in water, by mild mechanical disintegration. Electrostatic repulsion and⁄or osmotic effect works well between anionically charged TEMPO-oxidized cellulose microfibrils (TOCNs) in water, thus resulting in the complete and efficient individualization of wood cellulose microfibrils. Transparent and flexible films with high strength, low oxygen permeability and low coefficient of thermal expansion are obtained by casting the TOCN⁄water dispersions on a plate. The TOCNs are expected to be used as new environmentally-compatible and bio-based nanofibers in the fields of high-performance packaging components and other high-tech devices.
