By changing the wastewater treatment, both costs and CO2 emissions can be reduced. "Tokutoku-bububu" enables methane fermentation treatment of food wastewater.
Methane fermentation wastewater treatment is a method of wastewater treatment that utilizes microorganisms (anaerobic bacteria) that thrive in environments with little to no oxygen. Since aeration, which supplies air to the treatment tank, is unnecessary, it can significantly reduce power consumption. Additionally, this process converts the pollutants (organic matter) in the wastewater into methane gas. The generated methane gas has the same components as city gas, and by using it as fuel for boilers and generators, it can reduce the use of conventional fuels (fossil fuels). Furthermore, due to the slow growth of microorganisms, the amount of excess sludge generated is also low, allowing for simultaneous waste reduction. These features not only reduce the running costs associated with wastewater treatment but also contribute to CO2 reduction. The reduction of fuel corresponds to Scope 1, the reduction of electricity corresponds to Scope 2, and the reduction of waste corresponds to Scope 3, making it a technology that is rapidly spreading as a means of achieving decarbonization in factories.
We will be exhibiting at the 5th Food Tech Japan Tokyo (to be held from November 20 to 22, 2024, at Makuhari Messe) at booth 2 Hall 7-54. We will also be showcasing this product, so please come visit us.
