The company’s municipal sewage-processing system, based on its multi-stage activated biological process (MSABP) technology, will serve as the temporary replacement for the city’s sewage treatment system devastated by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

Teijin’s MSABP-based system fits within a 40ft container for easy transportation, and has efficient processing capacity handles up to 75 tons of sewage per day.

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 suppresses the generation of excess sludge, thereby eliminating the need for sludge disposal, to reduce energy consumption.
