Torishima Pump Mfg. Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Torishima”) has successfully developed a high-efficiency pump for Liquefied Natural Gas (hereinafter “LNG”), marking a significant step toward its full-scale entry into the LNG transport and supply sector. Leveraging decades of expertise in pump technology, Torishima’s newly developed LNG pump combines outstanding energy efficiency with strong environmental performance.

1.Background

In recent years, achieving both decarbonization and stable energy supply has become a global challenge. LNG is gaining attention as a transitional clean energy source, as it emits relatively low levels of CO₂ and reduces air pollutants compared to other fossil fuels. While the adoption of renewable energy continues to expand, LNG remains an important energy source due to its flexibility in responding to supply-demand fluctuations. In parallel, the global expansion of LNG supply infrastructure has heightened the demand for high-efficiency, highly reliable, and environmentally conscious technologies in related equipment. Against this backdrop, the development of equipment that supports the stable operation of LNG is regarded as a vital effort toward realizing a sustainable energy society.

2.Product Overview and Key Features

In response to these global demands, Torishima has developed a new LNG pump designed to contribute to the stable supply of LNG. The pump incorporates technologies refined through the company’s work in power generation and seawater desalination applications. This innovation achieves improved pumping efficiency and reduced power consumption, helping end users reduce energy usage and emissions.

3.Future outlook

Torishima will continue to innovate technology to realize a sustainable society by proposing and developing a wide range of pump products and solutions, including LNG pumps, for the energy and industrial sectors both in Japan and overseas. We will continue to make technological innovations for the realization of a sustainable society.
