WATER INTAKE & TREATMENT BUSINESS
It has been reaffirmed that by appropriately managing and conserving groundwater, it is possible to secure a stable supply of water, and that this will become a sustainable water source. Our company’s ‘water intake screen’ is used for this kind of efficient water intake. Our company also supports the realization of a recycle-based society through the popularization of our water treatment system, CHEMILES, which can minimize waste through water treatment technology which does not use chemicals when treating water, and which places a minimal burden on the environment.

ENERGY BUSINESS – OIL REFINING & PETROCHEMICALS
Our company has long been supplying Screen Internals. Screen Internals are used not only in the oil refining process, but also in the production of the chemical raw materials (i.e., propylene) produced from propane gas, which is a form of clean energy. Recently, hydrogen, a by-product in this process, is expected to gain traction as a new form of energy. In addition, our company will continue to contribute to existing oil refinement/chemical plants through revamp projects for modernized equipment which increases energy efficiency.
Furthermore, with regards to the SDGs below which derive from our business areas, we intend to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society worldwide through value chain/networks and collaboration with our partner companies.
