Supporting society and daily life with advanced technologies and accumulated expertise
Advanced Separation, Purification, and Analytical Technologies
Through our separation, purification, and analytical technologies, we contribute to a wide range of fields.
Separation and Purification: Our Core Technologies
Most natural substances are mixtures of multiple components.
Pure substances composed of just a single component, and substances excluding certain components, are extremely valuable in reliably producing industrial products and pharmaceuticals. Organo's core separation and purification technologies are used to separate certain components from mixtures and eliminate unneeded components to increase purity. Some of the methods used for this include filtration and ion exchange.
Using separation and purification technologies to control the composition of substances based on specific objectives
Primary Methods
Ion exchange
Filtration
Adsorption
Distillation
Chromatography
Coagulation-Sedimentation
Degassing
UV sterilization
We perform separation and purification using a variety of techniques, including ion exchange resins and adsorption.
Key Separation and Purification Products and Technologies
Ion Exchange Resin
Ion exchange is a phenomenon that has been occurring in nature since the dawn of Earth's formation, centered on the water-purifying action of sand and soil. Ion exchange resins are synthetic resins in which functional groups (ion exchange groups) have been introduced into a three-dimensional, network-structured polymer matrix.
Pure/Ultrapure Water Production
Using the "ion exchange" method, based on ion exchange resins, and the "reverse osmosis (RO)" method, based on the reverse osmosis effect, we produce pure water with minimal impurities and ultrapure water that comes as close as possible to pure H₂O.
Analytical Technology to Ensure Separation and Purification Quality
Organo continues to advance its analytical technologies, becoming the first in the world to successfully measure particles as small as 10 nm (one hundred-millionth of a meter) using a proprietary membrane. By combining this newly developed membrane with our filtration technology and continuous automated observation, we are able to analyze 10-nm particles—contributing to improved quality and yield in semiconductor manufacturing.
Comprehensive Water Treatment Engineering
We offer a wide range of support with regard to equipment scale, water quality, and applied fields.
We also offer end-to-end support, from installing new water treatment systems to performing operation and management.
With our accumulated expertise, we meet a wide range of customer needs.
Technologies for a Wide Range of Applications
We handle a wide range of treatment capacities—from ultrapure water systems that deliver water drop by drop for research institutions, to large-scale ultrapure water systems supplying up to 1,000 m³ per hour for cleaning processes at large semiconductor manufacturing plants. In terms of water quality, we cover the full cycle: industrial water, pure water, and ultrapure water production, as well as wastewater treatment, recovery, and recycling. We serve a wide range of fields, from social infrastructure such as power plants and water and sewage services to manufacturing, testing, and research.
The Expertise and Capability to Provide End-to-End Support
We provide end-to-end support—from installing new water treatment systems to operating and managing existing equipment and proposing improvements. For more than 80 years, we have been developing separation, purification, and related technologies, and engineering them into practical equipment. The expertise we have accumulated through every challenge encountered in operation and maintenance is the foundation of our Group's strong customer support capabilities.
Proven Track Record in Industry and Daily Life
We have extensive experience supplying products and solutions across a wide range of fields, supporting industry and daily life.
Organo's Water Treatment Systems and Services Are Used Across a Wide Range of Fields
Our water treatment systems and services—including pure water and ultrapure water production and wastewater treatment—are used across a wide range of fields, from infrastructure such as power plants and water and sewage services to manufacturing companies and testing and R&D institutions.
Examples of How We Support Various Industries and Daily Life
Tap water
Water purification plants supply the tap water that is essential to daily life. These plants perform a variety of water treatment processes tailored to each water source, including purification to remove turbidity, removal of trace harmful substances, advanced purification using activated carbon and ozone, and wastewater treatment. Our extensive expertise and reliable technologies help deliver safe, great-tasting water.
Factory and Research Lab Water
In the rapidly advancing electronics industry, ultrapure water is essential for the cleaning processes used in manufacturing semiconductors and liquid crystal displays. We also provide a diverse range of water treatment technologies—including equipment cleaning water, boiler feed water, and wastewater treatment—across industries ranging from large-scale plants to industrial parks and small and mid-sized factories. For research and analysis, we offer a comprehensive lineup of pure and ultrapure water systems that help ensure reliable results across a wide range of applications.
Juice, Medicines, and Food Products
We provide water treatment technologies—including water for beverage production, wastewater treatment, and boiler feed water—across a wide range of industries, including beer, soft drinks, dairy, prepared foods, condiments, and confectionery. Since developing our heat-free water distillation system using ion exchange resins in 1946, we have continued to provide water for pharmaceutical applications essential to drug manufacturing processes.
Air, gas, and energy fields
Water treatment facilities also play a vital role at power plants, oil refineries, and gas storage sites. In power plants, steam drives the turbines connected to generators, and high-purity water circulates throughout the plant to ensure stable long-term operation. Wastewater discharged from the system undergoes a complex series of treatments to meet regulatory standards and reduce environmental impact.
Technology for Protecting the Environment
We support efforts to address today's environmental challenges—including energy conservation and CO₂ reduction—from a water treatment perspective. In wastewater treatment in particular, we use advanced treatment technologies, including biological and physicochemical methods, to propose optimal treatment systems based on wastewater volume and quality. Our wastewater recovery and reuse systems have also been highly regarded.
