    In our country which is a resource-poor country, face large introductory expansion of renewable energy against the background of rapid increase of the energy demand by newly emerging country, and the correspondence to a global warming.
    Japan started feed-in tariff scheme in July, 2012. Under the feed-in tariff scheme, if a renewable energy producer requests an electric utility to sign a contract to purchase electricity at a fixed price and for a fixed period guaranteed by the government, the electric utility is obligated to accept this request.

    In recent paper industry situation, to enhance the production efficiency is one of the most important issues. Especially energy saving is the essential part of the production efficiency. The quality of waste paper, however, is getting worse for decades, and customers’ demand of to keep or get better quality is increasing. Our technological development has been for their answer. For example, LP screen acquire dramatic energy saving and best screening efficiency, and IP pulper also get much better defibering efficiency with much less energy consumption. Both products perform their ability not only at their part but also in the whole system. This new concept will supply the solution of the paper industry, and we strongly believe it will be new standard in the future.
    Both products as LP screen and IP pulper are for stock preparation system. Our technology also covers approach flow system, and have some solutions for the energy saving. For this article, our state-of-the-art technology will be introduced especially about stock mixing, low consistency cleaner, and approach screen.

    Rengo Co., Ltd. has set an environmental target aiming to reduce 32% of the corporate CO2 emission by 2020 compared to the 1990 base, followed by a higher objective of 50% reduction by 2050. From early on, Yashio Mill has been working on environmental load reduction including the fuel conversion from heavy oil C to natural gas, utilization of paper sludge as biomass fuel, and installation of high-efficiency equipment in the whole process.
    Incidentally, a stricter local regulation has been in effect since 2011 in Saitama Prefecture where the mill is located, which requires us to reduce15%of the CO2 emission during 2015 and 2019 relative to the average value from 2001 to 2004.
    Under these circumstances, Yashio Mill launched a new energy-saving project team in March 2011 composed of members from various sections. With the aid of an external energy-saving consultant firm, the team named “TNP (meaning low-fuel consumption) Yashio” expands cross-sectional activities for further CO2 reduction.

    In addition to the raise of energy cost across the world, power shortage originally caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 has been squeezing earnings of paper making companies. As a result energy efficiency is expanding its influence in operational efficiency of paper and board making.
    Metso has been seeking the possibilities to reduce energy cost, which generally accounts for 15-30% of total production cost and has continued making efforts for the realization. We believe that it is still possible to gain more energy saving in electric and steam consumption.
    Metso’s new paper making concept, OptiConcept M uses effective equipment to reduce the consumption of electricity and steam. This article introduces promising equipment and solutions that can be applied to existing paper machines to save energy.

    GL&V⁄Kawanoe Zoki’s latest double disc refiner “DD 6000” achieves highly efficient refining by Equa-Flo™ technology, one of the spline technology. Kawanoe Zoki has proposed to upgrade existing DDR with the Equa-Flo™ technology1), and high energy saving performance was successfully completed in the result.
    DD 6000 performs energy saving by 40% and capacity increase up to 50% compared with conventional refiner DD 4000.
    Above high performance is accomplished by its unique technologies. The Equa-Flo™ technology is the only technology that has ports in the hub rather than in the rotor. This eliminates all forces on the rotor and results in the most balanced centering rotor. One high performance refiner plate has no area for bolts in refining area and this leads to more efficient refining performance. The other high performance refiner plate has zero degree draft and results in keeping constant refining performance throughout plate life time. Tangential inlet and outlet increase refiner capacity and tangential inlet saves energy consumption as well.
    DD 6000 would be one of the best solutions to save energy and reduce operating cost for your stock preparation system.

    In recent paper & paperboard industry, we focus on high efficient production, the technologies for saving resource, and saving energy to use energy effectively for environment on the earth. Regarding to paperboard making, there are some trends such as machine speed up to improve productivity, increasing calcium carbonate due to using magazine recycle-fiber, and closed papermaking system in corresponding to waste water for environmental issues. These trends cause lower retention of fibers and internal additives, decreasing of fiber strength by itself, scaling, and increasing electrical conductivity, temperature and chemicals dosage (per unit). In addition, the light-weighting is progressive for resolving environmental issues with saving resourcing. However, it is getting difficult to keep strength properties such as compression and burst strengths at the papermaking with conventional internal additives because compression and burst strengths depend on basis weight. We have suggested the total wet end system, total chemicals on wet end process with alum performance for quality improvement, and surface treatment with coating additives for the light-weighting at the annual meeting of 2005 and 20101,2). In this report, we introduce our technologies such as internal dry strength agent (PAM) and surface treatment with coating PAM, in addition to developed coating PAM and coating agent for cracking problems during creasing, on the issues and solutions for light-weighting on paperboard.

    Precipitating silica which is also called porous fillers has a low specific gravity and has frequently been used as a filler to increase paper bulkiness. Uses of porous fillers do not cause problems such as discoloration which occur with machine pulps and staining paper machines which often occur when using fatty acid derivative and special surface-active agents as a bulking agent. Rather, they are advantageous in terms of cost such as that they reduce the drying load of paper machines by decreasing the amount of pulp to be used and decreasing the amount of pulp while maintaining the same paper thickness. However, they still have a problem of degrading paper strength. Therefore, we explored ways to develop high quality porous fillers which have high paper-bulking properties and great opacity. In the last report, we reported that having alkaline-resistant microparticles available during reactions enabled a control of primary particle diameter, secondary coagulation particle diameter, and particle size distributions which were particle properties, resulting in high quality porous fillers with a low level of paper strength degradation.
    In this report, we studied a scale-up of this process and achieved low level of paper strength degradation with controlled particle properties in an industry level.

    A functional clay mineral (Layered Double Hydroxide : LDH), whose main components were calcium and aluminum, was prepared by a co-precipitation method at 30 degree from PS ash. The resulting materials were investigated by XRD, SEM, EDX, TG-DTA and N2adsorption observation and were used to remove an anionic dye (Remazol Violet 5 R) from an aqueous solution at 30 degree. Adsorption isotherms showed convex upward and the adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir equation. LDH (8), which was synthesized under the condition of Ca⁄Al molar ratio=8, shows maximum adsorption ability of an anionic dye.
