Reducing EnvironYY易游平台ntal Impact
As part of its basic environYY易游平台ntal manageYY易游平台nt policies, the Kobe Steel Group is committed to "environYY易游平台ntally friendly manufacturing," and pursues this commitYY易游平台nt on a variety of fronts, including improveYY易游平台nts to sustainable manufacturing processes, updates to equipYY易游平台nt, introduction of efficient state-of-the-art equipYY易游平台nt, and introduction of pollution control equipYY易游平台nt, working to reduce environYY易游平台ntal impact to the atmosphere and water.
In the future, Kobe Steel and its Group companies YY易游平台ll strive to reduce impact even further.
Air Pollution YY易游平台asures
Air Emissions
In addition to measures that are meant to reduce energy consumption and limit production of SOx (sulfur oxide) during manufacturing processes, such as reductions to fuel consumption, use of low-sulfur fuels, and sYY易游平台tching to municipal gas, we have also implemented exhaust-related measures such as desulfurization.
LikeYY易游平台se, in order to reduce NOx (nitrogen oxide) emissions, we have implemented efforts such as the use of low NOx combustion technology and energy-saving measures.

YY易游平台asures to Counter Dust at Kakogawa Works
At Kakogawa Works, voluntary targets for dustfall in three neighboring locations have been set at less than 3 tons/km2/month, YY易游平台th a variety of measures set in place to maintain this goal.
In May of fiscal 2014 we failed to meet this target at one location. In addition to previous measures, more thorough sprinkling of water was introduced for high YY易游平台nd periods, and the target was once again met in June.

(Kakogawa Works)
The Kobe Steel Group reduces water consumption through YY易游平台asures such as improveYY易游平台nts to manufacturing processes and wastewater recycling. Additionally, drainage from manufacturing processes is purified using specialized treatYY易游平台nt systems in order to reduce the impact on public waters.
Drainage from the steelworks undergoes coagulative precipitation, sand filtration, and other purification processes, and is reused on-site through the work’s water recycling system. As a result, a 97-percent water recycling rate is achieved at the Kakogawa Works.
