Environmental Data 2007
Energy data
Electricity consumption: 42,013,730 kWh/year
Fuel consumption: 340 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: 563 t/year
Annual mean recycling ratio: 100%
*"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)   6.0-8.3 7.4 7.3-7.5
Suspended Solids(SS) mg/l 50 1.5 4.0
Biochemical Oxygen Demand(BOD) mg/l 20 3.1 6.7
n-hexane(mineral oil) mg/l 3 0.7 1.6
Copper mg/l 3 0.029 0.044
Lead mg/l 0.1 0.021 0.050
Fluorine and its compounds mg/l 8 N.D. N.D.
Boron and its compounds mg/l 10 N.D. N.D.
Ammonia Ammonium compounds Nitrite compounds and nitrate compounds mg/l 100 3.4 4.2
Nickel mg/l - N.D. 0.02
Tin mg/l - N.D. N.D.
*N.D. : not greater than minimum limit of determination (Not Detected)
*The items lacking a target level are those being subjected to voluntary control.
*Target levels are taken from the strictest values stipulated by laws, Toyama Prefecture regulations and agreements with Toyama city.
*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.
There is not release into subject to monitoring, and no measurement is performed for this purpose.
Amount released or transported of substances to be subjected to PRTR
(t/year)
Chemical compound name Amount released Amount transferred
Atmosphere Public waters Soil Landfill Sewage Waste Recycling
Toluene 2.00 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 8.02
Lear and its compounds 0.0 0.05 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 41.03
Nickel compounds 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.14
* The "amounts released or transported of substance subjected by PRTR" have been calculated in compliance with the PRTR law in Japan. The results have been rounded off to the order of 0.1 ton.
