Our collaboration centres around the Johkasou Wastewater Treatment Technology, a system with over four decades of successful implementation in Japan. Johkasou represents a decentralized approach to wastewater treatment, making it a perfect Packaged STP solution suitable for diverse urban applications. It stands out for its effectiveness in on-site wastewater treatment and reuse.
Johkasou -
A Packaged Sewage Treatment Plant
A Package Sewage Treatment Plant (PSTP) is a compact, decentralized wastewater treatment system tailored for smaller communities or sectors, such as residential complexes or colonies. Designed for low-cost, low-maintenance operations, PSTPs utilize gravity-based processes that are energy-efficient, simple to operate, and minimize the need for extensive sewage conveyance infrastructure.
Johkasou Technology-based Urban PSTP Treatment Flow:
The treatment process starts with decantation, where liquid and solid wastes are separated through gravitational settling.
Chamber One
Decantation
In this chamber, anaerobic media host microorganisms that break down organic matter in the wastewater.
Chamber Two
Anaerobic Treatment
The moving bed chamber, equipped with MBBR media, facilitates the decomposition of pollutants through aeration.
Chamber Three
Moving Bed Bioreactor
The final step involves sterilization, where pathogenic microorganisms are eliminated, rendering the water safe for recycling and various other uses.
Chamber Four
Sterilisation
