Biological Technologies MSABP Multi-Stage Activated Biological Process System Outline of Technology MSABP is a wastewater treatment technology based on a revolutionary biological treatment process in which a fiber-like organism-supporting media provides immobilization of microorganisms in a multi-stage aeration tank. Principle of As an effect of the multi-stages, the biota in each tank changes in an orderly manner, thereby forming a food chain. The fiber-like organism-supporting media provides an environment in which microorganisms remain active and are able to treat highly concentrated effluent and hard-to-decompose effluent. Raw water Organism-supporting media Microbial biomass Organic matter Air Treated water Diffuser pipe Prokaryote Protists Metazoans Fiber-like organism-supporting media Features The biota evolves downstream in an orderly manner. Suppresses the generation of excess sludge Reduces sludge disposal costs; sedimentation pond and sludge return are unnecessary(cost-down, space-saving) Absorption of variations in the concentration of raw water (±50%)Facilitates operation and management * 1 Also treats highly concentrated effluent (COD < 50,000mg/L)No dilution treatment required * 1 Also decomposes hard-to-decompose effluent (BOD/COD 0.15) Also decomposes surface-active agents, etc.* 1 Examples of Use of chemical effluent with high COD content (chemical plants, pharmaceutical plants, cosmetics plants, etc.) of hard-to-decompose effluent such as antiseptics and insecticides Reduction in excess sludge from easy-to-decompose effluent such as effluent from food manufacturing plants Sewage treatment for domestic wastewater Wastewater treatment under high salt level Related information MSABP Patent Registered Countries (as of August 2012): U.S.A., Singapore, Korea, India, China * 1:The actual performance and the upper limit for application depend on the nature of the effluent.

Advanced Technologies ELCAT E l e c t r o C a t a l y t i c M e t h o d Outline of Technology The ELCAT is a composite process that combines an electrolytic tank and a catalytic tank. Effectively decomposes and treats organic matter by changing hard-to-decompose substances into easy-to-decompose substances. Principle of occurs in two stages by using the electrolytic and catalytic tanks.* 3 Easy-to-decompose intermediates are generated by forming hypochlorous acid in the electrolytic tank and oxidizing the organic matter. Both the intermediates and surplus hypochlorous acids are sent to the catalytic tank to be gasified and decomposed by means of oxidation-reduction reactions. Treated water Electrolytic tank O ₂ Cl ₂ CO ₂ ClO- Cl- R-H HClO ClO- R -H H ₂ Catalysis ClO H O Catalysis OH OH O Catalysis HClO Catalytic tank HClO ClO- Raw water Features It is also possible to treat hard-to-decompose organic matter that cannot be removed completely by biological treatment. Generates hypochlorous acid by adding saltmore economical than the addition of hypochlorous acid Examples of Use * 4 Decoloring through decomposition of dye Industrial wastewater treatment, wastewater recycling Post-treatment for biological treatment (removal of hard-to-decompose organic matter after biological treatment) Reduction of dilution water(when diluted to the value which is lower than the criterion value) example: Color removal example after biological treatmen efficiency (typical examples) Substances to be treated Dye, detergent, phenols, cyanide, insecticide, herbicide, etc. * 3:Depending on the nature of the effluent, chemical agents may be used in piace of or with the catalyst. * 4:Typical examples are indicated here.

Advanced Technologies HiPOx A d v a n c e d O x i d a t i o n W a t e r T r e a t m e n t Outline of Technology The HiPOx water purification technology is based on the AOP system that utilizes ozone gas and hydrogen peroxide. Principle of Hydroxyl radicals are formed through the addition of ozone gas and hydrogen peroxide to decompose and remove organic matter. Substances to be treated Intermediate Residual ozone gas is separated from treated water using a gas separator. The ozone gas thus separated is decomposed and made harmless using ozone destruction equipment before being discharged. Piping for separated gas Treated water Separating decomposed gas and residual ozone gas Ozone destruction equipment Port for O3 addition Appearance of equipment (typical) Raw water Port for H ₂ O ₂ addition Features Mixers are located immediately after the ozone gas injection ports, thereby enabling the gases to mix effectively Reduced amount of ozone injection and installation space compared to treatment with ozone alone Minimizes the formation of reaction byproducts by means of ozone injection at multiple points (when used in drinking water applications) Examples of Use Industrial wastewater, Industrial wastewater recycling, ultra pure water recycling, sewage water purification, water treatment, etc. Substances to be treated 1,4-dioxane, chlorine-based solvents, aromatic compounds (BTEX, phenol), herbicides (atrazine, etc.), residual pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), endocrine-disturbing chemicals (EDCs), color, taste & odor compound, etc. Related information Joint research with Singapore Public Utilities Board (PUB) has been conducted concerning the application of the system to prevention of membrane fouling and sewage reuse The application of the system to removal of traces of residual pharmaceuticals and reuse of ultra pure water is being examined. The HiPOx Process meets the disinfection criteria for unrestricted water reuse under Title22 of the California Code of Regulations
