MILAN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 9, 2025--

Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group (Nikkiso CE&IG) has announced at the Gastech Conference today that it has launched a next-generation submerged ammonia pump designed to be the safest and most reliable in the industry.

Ammonia is already a key component in fertilizers and increasingly being used as a clean hydrogen carrier. As demand for handling ammonia has also grown in sectors like power generation, chemical plants, shipping fleets and export terminals, Nikkiso CE&IG has responded with a first-of-its-kind solution designed to eliminate common maintenance burdens for operators thanks to its seal-less, maintenance-friendly, copper-free construction and integrated motor-pump system.

The pump is capable of delivering more than 2,500m 3 per hour and has an industry-leading maintenance record – specifically-designed parts mean the pump lasts significantly longer before any maintenance requirements, with a mean time between outages topping 16,000 hours.

Emile Bado, President of Nikkiso CE&IG’s Pumps division, said: “Demand for ammonia across a range of applications is growing thanks to its importance as an alternative clean fuel, its role in agriculture and as a carrier for hydrogen. In response to customer demand, we are delighted to launch a pump which addresses the most common issues operators face.

“We have a proud record of innovation at Nikkiso CE&IG, and the work that has gone into producing this pump is no different – as a result, it leads the industry in safety, reliability, maintenance and performance.”

The launch of the pump builds on a track record of expertise and innovation both at Nikkiso CE&IG and its parent company, Nikkiso Co, in serving the ammonia market across a range of applications. Nikkiso CE&IG has four decades of experience in building submersible motor pumps for ammonia service and recently secured approval in principle for a new ammonia fuel supply system, alongside its existing and proven range of purpose-built ambient and electric heat exchangers for ammonia. Nikkiso Co’s Industrial division has also built more than 7,000 canned motor pumps for use in ammonia handling, and plans to launch a liquid ammonia pump for thermal power generation next year.
