Contributing to a carbon-neutral society

Concerns about climate change issues have been growing in recent years due to the intensification and increased occurrence of natural disasters on a global scale. There is an urgent need for carbon-neutral initiatives regardless of industry or size to achieve goals of the Paris Agreement adopted in 2015 and "Carbon Neutrality by 2050" declared by the Japanese government in 2020. Companies are expected not only to pursue profits but also to contribute to the sustainable growth of society through their business.
TEIKOKU contributes to realize the carbon-neutral society through manufacturing and selling “Zero-Leakage” canned motor pumps.

TEIKOKU products play an active role in diverse fields of the carbon-neutral society.

Society must seek solutions to environmental issues such as climate change that cannot be solved through the efforts of a few market leaders or well-known companies. All industries and business sectors, from major companies to small and medium-sized companies and individuals must work together to address these issues.
Through our business activities to date, we have supplied pumps for a wide range of industries and applications, from chemical plants and power plants to transformers for railways and air conditioning facilities for buildings. In the transition to the carbon-neutral society, the need for TEIKOKU's canned motor pumps is expected to increase in a variety of industries and applications that support new technologies.
We will explain why TEIKOKU's canned motor pumps can contribute to the carbon-neutral society.

Reasons why we can contribute

  • Chemical substances necessary to realize the carbon-neutral society
  • Superior features of canned motor pumps
  • Technical capabilities and adaptability as a long-established manufacturer

Chemical substances necessary to realize the carbon-neutral society

To realize a carbon-neutral society, it is essential to reduce CO2 emissions. In the process of achieving this, using chemical substances, which are harmful to the human body and the environment, becomes necessary. Typical examples include ammonia which is expected to be used as fuel for ships and thermal power generation, electrolytic solutions for storage batteries and amine solutions for CO2 capture. In addition, although not harmful to the human body or the environment, pure water used in geothermal power generation and fuel cells is handled in a way that it does not come in contact directly with the ambient air.
Since standard mechanically sealed pumps are not suitable to handle the above chemical substances, Teikoku can and will play an active role to help attain the carbon-neutral society.

Superior features of canned motor pumps

The most important feature of our canned motor pumps, which have the largest global market share, is that they never leak. Thus, they are ideal for handling ammonia, electrolytic solutions, amine solutions and other chemical substances that are necessary for the transition to the carbon-neutral society but are harmful to the human body and the environment, as well as pure water that is harmless but must not come in contact directly with the ambient air. The canned motor pump construction also allows them to be used in a wide range of processes, even under severe operating conditions such as high and low temperatures, high pressure and under vacuum. In addition, the longer maintenance cycle than standard mechanically sealed pumps makes them suitable for use in areas where maintenance is not easy, such as inside nacelles in offshore wind turbines.

Technical capabilities and adaptability as a long-established manufacturer

We have been developing our business for about half a century with "Zero-Leakage" canned motor pumps as our core business, and we have overcome various challenging technical problems together with our customers. The technical capabilities and adaptability we have accumulated over this long history are our strengths, and we have built up a track record of trust based on these strengths.
Today, many companies are taking on the challenge of "new technologies" to realize the carbon-neutral society. By supporting these challenges with our canned motor pump technology, we will contribute to the carbon-neutral society.
