Joint research between the Japan Sewage Works Agency and Toshiba at the sewage treatment plant in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture.

A wastewater treatment device that can significantly reduce power consumption. It can enhance capacity at minimal cost while utilizing existing equipment.

**Device Overview** The core of the AT-BC system, the AT-BC device, was developed from an improved rotating body of the rotating disk method, which is a type of activated sludge. The rotating body, which serves as the heart of the rotating disk, had a structural flaw where the metal parts would corrode rapidly when immersed in wastewater for extended periods. Additionally, it also had the drawback of microorganisms adhering to the rotating body detaching all at once, leading to a decrease in processing capacity. To address these shortcomings of the rotating body, the AT-BC device was developed. The rotating body of the AT-BC device features a three-dimensional mesh structure made from a vinylidene chloride fiber, the same material used in Asahi Kasei's Saran Wrap, processed into a gourd shape. This design successfully eliminated the metal parts that cause corrosion from the rotating body. Furthermore, by allowing microorganisms to adhere within the three-dimensional mesh structure, it has become possible to prevent the simultaneous detachment of microorganisms.

Significantly improve wastewater treatment capacity at low cost! It can be expanded without stopping the wastewater treatment facility, and even with more than double the treatment capacity, the electricity costs remain the same! New installations are also supported.

【Expansion】 The issues of "insufficient capacity of treatment facilities" and "difficulty in expansion due to lack of installation space" can be resolved in one go by simply placing the AT-BC device on top of the existing tank! It significantly enhances wastewater treatment capacity at a low cost. This is a wastewater treatment system that evolves two treatment methods: the activated sludge method and the rotating biological contactor method. 【Features】 ■ Expansion possible without stopping wastewater ■ Construction period is about 2 weeks ■ Capacity more than doubles just by placing the AT device on the existing tank ■ Capital investment costs can be about 2/3 ■ Even with more than double the treatment capacity, electricity costs remain unchanged ■ Excess sludge is reduced to less than half ■ Suitable for nitrogen and phosphorus removal and deodorization effects 【New Installation】 This is a wastewater treatment system that evolves the activated sludge method and the rotating biological contactor method, efficiently removing BOD, COD, SS, N-Hex, T-N, T-P, etc., by proliferating Bacillus bacteria in the AT-BC device (three-dimensional rotating device) and aeration tank, and furthermore, it is a groundbreaking system that also eliminates unpleasant odors. 【Features】 ■ Installation area is about 2/3 ■ Power consumption is about 2/3 ■ Excess sludge is about 2/3 ■ Odor is significantly reduced ■ Suitable for nitrogen and phosphorus removal and deodorization effects *For details, please request materials or view the PDF data from the download.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I’m worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask that customers arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
