Energy Company's Strategic Table of Technological Capabilities
Accordingly, we revised the EBARA Group Strategic Table of Technological Capabilities to show the core technologies that constitute the competitive edge of each of the five in-house companies, the shared technologies between the companies, and the common basic technologies.
We will utilize these technologies to contribute to society with passion and dedication.
Refrigerating Compressor
EBARA possesses technology to design and manufacture compressors for refrigeration systems for the multi-stage economizer cycles used in ethylene production plants.
Cryogenic Engineering
Seal technology
EBARA possesses technology for the shaft seals used between rotors and the casing in rotating machinery such as pumps and fans. These seals are divided largely into contact type seals (mechanical seals, gland packing, dynamic pressure seals) and non-contact type seals (liner rings, labyrinths, etc.)

Additive Manufacturing
EBARA possesses technology for manufacturing impeller parts and other components that make up pumps and compressors through additive manufacturing.
Bearing Technology
EBARA possesses technology for the bearings used to support rotors in rotating machinery such as pumps and fans. These bearings are divided largely into rolling bearings and sliding bearings. In particular, EBARA has developed proprietary technology for submerged sliding bearings and hydrodynamic bearings.
Vibration & Acoustics
EBARA has developed technology to suppress and reduce the impact of vibration and noise, and realize an appropriate operating condition to counter the various vibrations produced by parts such as rotors, casings, and fluid-related systems in rotating machinery such as pumps and fans. In a broad sense, this also includes fault diagnosis (remote monitoring systems).
Structural Design
In order to realize high reliability and long life for pumps and compressor products, EBARA has developed technology to appropriately evaluate strength and deformation even in harsh operating conditions such as under high pressure.
Numerical Analysis
In order to improve the performance and reliability of rotating machinery such as pumps and fans, and of pump stations, EBARA has developed systems and proprietary technology for applying numerical analysis such as oscillatory structural mechanics and thermal hydraulics.
Fluid Machine Design
EBARA possesses technology to develop and design the aerodynamic and hydraulic components of our turbomachinery products such as pumps, compressors, fans, and steam turbines by utilizing advanced CAE technology such as flow analysis and optimization technology.
Digital Engineering
This group of technologies maximizes development throughput by identifying simulation processes necessary for various product development needs, and includes technologies for automating and streamlining Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) from 3D modeling to flow analysis, and vibration and structure analysis.
