Teijin wastewater system for sewage treatment in tsunami-hit Japanese city

11 October 2011

In Japan, Teijin has donated a highly compact municipal sewage-processing system to the city of Kesennuma, in Miyagi Prefecture. The energy-efficient system will serve as a temporary replacement for the city’s sewage treatment system, which was devastated by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

The installation is the first time that Teijin has utilized its Multi-Stage Activated Biological Process (MSABP) wastewater treatment technology for sewage treatment.

Teijin’s MSABP system utilizes special biological carriers packed with high concentrations of microorganisms in multistage aeration tanks. The microorganisms vary from tank to tank, to form a food chain that decomposes even highly concentrated and persistent effluent.

The system significantly suppresses the generation of excess sludge, eliminating the need for sludge disposal. The result is a low-maintenance, cost-effective solution that reduces energy consumption.

Teijin’s MSABP system is currently being used for wastewater treatment in chemical, dyeing, and food manufacturing plants in Indonesia and China. It has also been selected for wastewater treatment by a textile factory in Angola.
