Japan, Aug 25 (ANI): Located in the mountainous Shimane Prefecture, Nakamura Brace provides high quality prosthetics and orthotics to those in need. Its contribution expands to more than 30 countries. The credit for this success goes to Toshihiro Nakamura. After study in USA Nakamura returned to under populated birth town which does not have any hospital. Overcoming disadvantage he continued to produce prosthetics and orthotics for those in need. Young trainees are coming to absorb the skills. JFE Engineering Corporation, a company that makes plants and infrastructure constructions has built a biomass power station in Tsu, Mie Prefecture. Here, the power generation is done by using a CFB boiler and burning biomass fuels made of coconut shells or woodchips. The biomass fuel made from coconut shells or woodchips imported from Indonesia and Malaysia is transferred from a fuel yard and thrown into hoppers. The fuel is burned in the boiler and the water in the boiler boils with its heat. Afterwards, the high temperature and high pressure steam that it generates rotates the steam turbine, and runs the generator and generates power. In the central control room, the operation of the entire power plant is being conducted; such as fuel supplies and the control of the output of the boiler. It’s environmentally friendly. Since a bag filters and collects the ash dust, the fuel gas is detoxified. In Japan, to fulfill the purpose of preliminary fire extinguishing needs, based on fire laws, fire extinguishers are required to be installed in office buildings. Based on the purpose of a building, the scale, and the degree of risks, etc., firefighting equipment using pumps are also being introduced. The installation locations are strictly managed with double-doors. In Japan, the only firewater pumps that can be used are the ones certified by the Fire Equipment and Safety Center of Japan. In the 1980s, Ebara Corporation’s pump was the first one to be certified in the industry. The office building is also installed with an inverter firewater pump made by Ebara Corporation. In Japan, the water pressure at the end of the water supply is regulated by fire laws. The inverter pump can control the water pressure at the end of the water supply. Since earthquakes occur frequently in Japan, the risk of fire at the time of a natural disaster increases.
