Creating the Massive Plant

At the Kameyama Plant, everything is on a grand scale. We´ll give you a sense of just how big it is.

Construction: This was how much land was necessary to carry out the magnificent plan.

Site area
Approx. 330,000 m²
Equivalent to seven or eight times the size of a baseball stadium.

Electricity: Environmentally friendlier because the waste heat from power generation is recycled.

Electric power generation  
Using LNG (liquefied natural gas), Kameyama Plant No. 1 independently generates about 12,000 kW of power, and Plant No. 2 generates about 14,400 kW, for a total of about 26,400 kW. The waste heat generated in the process is used for air conditioning and for heating water, for example.

Photovoltaic power system: the world´s largest*1 photovoltaic power system.

Amount of electricity generated  
Sharp installed a photovoltaic power system with a generation capacity of 5,210 kW. This is equivalent to the power generated by approx. 1,300 typical residential PV power systems.*2

Based on the estimated amount of power generated by a typical residential photovoltaic power system of 4 kW (5,210 kW ÷ 4 kW = approx. 1,300 homes).

Water: Sharp installed a wastewater recycling system-the largest of its kind in our industry-that purifies and recycles all the water used in the manufacturing process (28,300 tons per day).

Water consumption  
The maximum amount of water used in the manufacturing process is 15,300 tons at Kameyama Plant No. 1 and 13,000 tons at Kameyama Plant No. 2*3. A total of 28,300 tons per day is purified and recycled.

Wastewater treatment facilities Other measures: Prevent the impact of natural disasters by introducing state-of-the-art technologies that ensure round-the-clock, uninterrupted operation.

The world’s largest*4 superconducting magnetic energy storage system
This system counters sudden drops in voltage (line-drops) that result from lightning strikes and other natural phenomena. As the temperature of the superconducting coil is cooled to −269Co, the electric resistance of the coil approaches zero, allowing electrical energy to be converted into magnetic energy and stored.
The 10,000-kW superconducting magnetic energy storage system installed at the Kameyama Plant can generate high voltage in an instant and counter the effects of line-drops.

Seismic damper system
In order to absorb earthquake-generated vibrations, Sharp incorporated an earthquake-resistant design into the whole building, effectively minimizing damage in the event of an earthquake registering up to 7 on the Japanese intensity scale. Sharp prepares for unexpected situations to secure the best possible manufacturing environment.
