  • Publication number: 20240141582
    Abstract: An oil-resistant agent containing a modified natural product which is a bio-based compound having at least one carboxyl group and in which a hydroxyl group of a carboxyl group is substituted with an R group, or a carboxyl group is substituted with an Ra group. R group: —X—R1 or —X-D-X?—R1. Ra group: wherein X is a direct bond, —O—, —NR11—, or —S—, and R1 is a hydrocarbon group having 1-40 carbon atoms, or a polysiloxane, D is an alkylene group having 1-10 carbon atoms, X? is —C(?O)—O—, —O—(?O)—, —C(?O)—NR12—, or —NR12—C(?O)— (where, R11 and R12 are each hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1-40 carbon atoms). Also disclosed is a textile product, an oil-resistant paper, a food packaging material or a food container each including the oil-resistant agent, as well as a method of treating paper with the oil-resistant agent.

  • Publication number: 20240084123
    Abstract: An oil-resistant agent including a polymer (A) in which a polymer (a1) having at least one selected from a hydroxyl group and an amino group is modified with a monovalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 7 to 40 carbon atoms (a2). A total amount of vinyl alcohol units and vinylamine units in all repeating units of the polymer (a1) is 40 mol % or more. Further, a ratio of modification of the polymer (A) with the aliphatic hydrocarbon group (a2) is 25 to 100 mol % relative to a total amount of hydroxyl groups and amino groups of the polymer (a1). Also disclosed is a paper product treated with the oil-resistant agent, and an oil-resistant agent wherein the polymer (a1) and the aliphatic hydrocarbon group (a2) are bonded through an ester bond.

  • Patent number: 10260513
    Abstract: An RPM of a compressor is sensed by an RPM meter, and a sound velocity of an inlet gas sucked into the compressor is sensed by a sound velocity meter. A corrected RPM computation unit finds a corrected RPM of the compressor using a reference state quantity determined by a reference specific heat ratio, a reference gas constant, and a reference temperature of the inlet gas; the RPM sensed by the RPM meter, and the sound velocity sensed by the sound velocity meter.

  • Patent number: 9856795
    Abstract: The gas turbine system has: a gas turbine having a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine; a fuel supply mechanism for supplying fuel to the combustor; a composition detection unit for detecting the composition of the fuel; and a controller for controlling the flow rate of the fuel supplied from the fuel supply mechanism to the combustor, on the basis of a function of the exhaust temperature of exhaust gas passing through the turbine and either air pressure of air expelled from the compressor to the combustor or an expansion ratio of the turbine. The controller calculates the specific heat ratio of the combustion gas from the composition of the fuel detected by the composition detection unit, corrects the function on the basis of the calculated specific heat ratio, and controls the flow rate of the fuel on the basis of the corrected function.

  • Patent number: 9222414
    Abstract: A consumption amount of high-calorific gas such as coke oven gas (COG) during operation of a gas turbine is reduced, halt of the gas turbine due to clogging of a pilot system, a malfunction of a compressor which compresses high-calorific gas is prevented, and reliability of the gas turbine is improved. When operation of the gas turbine (11) starts, with use of both a first fuel supply system (31) which supplies a high-calorific fuel for a first nozzle constituting a combustor (17), and a second fuel supply system (32) which supplies a low-calorific fuel for a second nozzle constituting the combustor (17), the high-calorific fuel and the low-calorific fuel are supplied to the combustor (17), and at a time when the gas turbine (11) reaches output power which enables continuous operation with only the low-calorific fuel, supply of the high-calorific fuel to the combustor (17) is shut off, and only the low-calorific fuel is supplied to the combustor (17).
