Orders of three units received for Komaki Plant of Sumitomo Riko Company Limited [Orders Received in February 2024]
Sumitomo Riko Company Limited has formulated the 2029 Sumitomo Riko Group Vision (2029V) for its 100th anniversary in 2029, and is promoting efforts to reduce CO2 emissions by 30% in Scope 1 + 2 and 15% in Scope 3 compared to fiscal 2018.
This company has participated in a Go Green with Pumps seminar held by Torishima. At that time, we learned that they were using many pumps to circulate cooling water in the cooling tower at their Komaki Plant. After repeated energy efficiency proposals, they decided to replace three of their existing pumps made by another company with Torishima pumps. These Super Eco-Pumps offer higher efficiency than conventional Eco-Pumps, achieving MEI ≥ 0.70, the highest grade in Europe. For two of the three pumps being renewed in this project, we reviewed the three existing pumps (two 11 kW and one 18.5 kW) at the Technical Center and replaced them with two 15 kW pumps. This reduced power consumption by approximately 26%, and CO2 emissions are expected to be reduced by 33.4 t-CO2 per year.
We were able to actually measure the power consumption and flow rate of the pumps before and after renewal. This allowed us to make the renewal proposal based on actual operation rather than specifications. In addition, Torishima’s energy efficiency proposal activities were highly evaluated at the debriefing session after the renewal.
We will continue to contribute to our customers’ needs to reduce power consumption and CO2 emissions by expanding our energy efficiency proposal activities for pumps.
