Meeting the Growing Demand for Energy While Protecting the Environment
Contribution to Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection around the World
As the demand for energy continues to grow in emerging economies and energy-saving efforts become increasingly important, we are asked to switch to safer and naturally occurring energy sources. Additionally, governments are stepping up their environmental regulations in order to curb CO2 emissions and reduce the pollution caused by harmful chemical substances. Therefore, companies must introduce new technologies, procedures and methods in order to comply with the stricter regulations. Yokogawa, drawing on its technical expertise in measurement and controls, helps its customers around the world save energy and achieve factory operations that have low environmental impact.
moreEnergy-Saving Plant Diagnostics
We conducted energy-saving diagnoses of customers' plants in China and Thailand. Efficient energy usage thereby reduces not only environmental impact but also costs.
Continuous Monitoring of Harmful Emissions
Yokogawa America do Sul Ltda. (Brazil) provides a system for the continuous monitoring of NOx, SO2 and other harmful substances in the emissions generated from industrial factories in various fields, including petroleum, chemical, pulp and paper, and mining. Additionally, it provides assistance in meeting the environmental regulations for CO2 and H2S (hydrogen sulfide).
Aiming for Precise Prediction of Climate Change and Weather
Systems that Support Weather Forecasting in Japan (Yokogawa Denshikiki)
Yokogawa Denshikiki, a member of the Yokogawa Group, received a blanket order in May 2010 to supply ground-based weather observation systems for use at weather observation stations throughout Japan. The forecasting of typhoons and other forms of severe weather, together with the warnings and alerts, and the resultant understanding of climate change, are all backed by Yokogawa's quality.
Growing Use of Rechargeable Batteries for Reusable Energy, Smart Grids, Etc.
WEBFREX3ES
Various types of measuring equipment and control systems by Yokogawa, such as the online thickness gauges needed to control the quality of separators and electrodes that are key components of rechargeable batteries, are now in operation at facilities manufacturing or developing rechargeable batteries. Since 2010, Yokogawa has developed new technologies to embody a deterioration diagnosis system that accurately evaluates the service life of lithium ion batteries.
