Outline of GHG Mitigation Activity

Introduction of energy-saving equipment to amino acid manufacturing plant with the facilities expansion to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.

1)Refrigerator :

Reduce power consumption by introducing high COP turbo refrigerator.

2)Evaporator with Mechanical Vapor Recompression:

Vapor generated in the concentration process of the amino acid solution is re-compressed, and the heat from the vapor is used to as a heat source to reduce the steam.

Expected GHG Emission Reductions

1,527 tCO2-eq./year

1) Refrigerator:
194 [tCO2/year]

2) Evaporator:
1,333 [tCO2/year]
