Profile Targets and Results Environmental Data

Environmental Data 2007
Energy data
Electricity consumption: 8,529,000 kWh/year
Fuel consumption: 2 kl/year
*The fuel consumption values have been obtained by converting the consumptions of heavy oil, kerosene and fuel gas into the equivalent consumption of petroleum. For this purpose, the conversion coefficient for plants in Japan and overseas is the one mentioned in the regular report per "Law Concerning the Rational Use of Energy in Japan".
Waste volume data
Total waste released: 32 t/year
Annual mean recycling ratio: 88.4%
*"Recycling ratio" refers to a ratio of waste (including salable waste) sold or recycled to the total amount released (other than a waste that appears not to be coped with by the efforts of Murata).
Water quality data
The management level is strictly enough to meet the target level.
Item Unit Target level Average Max value
Hydrogen ion concentration(pH)   6-9 7.13 6.7-7.9
Suspended Solids(SS) mg/l 80 19.68 26.5
Chemical Oxygen Demand(COD) mg/l 250 74.6 93
Biochemical Oxygen Demand(BOD) mg/l 80 15.23 24.6
Number of coliform groups Number/cm3 - 27,133 52,000
Temperature °C 36 27.6 30.8
Dissolved Oxygen mg/l 3> 3.7 4.2
*The items lacking a target level are those being subjected to voluntary control.
*Water quality data are the values measured at the final discharge point.
Air quality data
The management level is strictly enough to meet the target level.
Item Unit Target level Average Max value
Dust(emission point(1)) mg/Nm3 270 N.D. N.D.
Dust(emission point(2)) mg/Nm3 367 N.D. N.D.
Dust(emission point(3)) mg/Nm3 500 109 109
Dust(emission point(4)) mg/Nm3 500 93 93
Dust(emission point(5)) mg/Nm3 500 124 124
Lead(emission point(1-2)) mg/Nm3 10 N.D. N.D.
*N.D.: not greater than minimum limit of determination (Not Detected)
*Air quality data are the values measured at the exhaust point.
