Service Water Environmental Plant Business
01Design and construction of water environment plants
We offer a one-stop solution for the design, construction, and maintenance of systems related to water treatment in water supply and wastewater treatment plants, power plants, and industrial plants.
02Pump facilities and repairs
Pumps resemble the heart that pumps blood in the human body. If a pump malfunctions, the plant stops, leading to significant damage. Our company provides proposals, design, construction, maintenance, and other services for large pumps used in water treatment plants and power plants, as well as small pumps used in various plants and factories.
03Pipe and valve replacement
We handle the replacement of aging pipes and valves. This includes installing new ones, which may be required during pump or sedimentation basin construction projects.
04Sand and sedimentation basin facilities
After large debris is removed by the sand basin, wastewater passes through the sedimentation basin. Heavy particles that tend to sink are settled at the bottom of the tank, while lighter ones are floated and collected, separating the water from the waste. These facilities play a crucial role in sewage treatment. Our company has developed original power-saving products that efficiently remove scum more effectively than conventional pipe skimmers.
05Disinfection and filtration facilities
These facilities disinfect treated water with chlorine to eliminate bacteria such as E. coli before releasing it into rivers or the sea. Additionally, we carry out research and development to further reduce chlorine and phosphorus in treated water, which can contribute to the occurrence of red tide in the sea.
06Dust collector improvement and gate facilities
A machine called a dust collector is used to remove solid particles such as debris and fallen leaves mixed in water. It serves not only as an outlet to return clean water to the sea or rivers but also plays a role in preventing backflow when the water level in the sea or rivers rises. We are committed to providing comprehensive water treatment to protect people's lives and the planet.

Fuel conversion system for oily sludge
Patent No. 4698429, granted on March 11, 2011 (Certified as a Tokyo Metropolitan Small and Medium Enterprise Management Innovation Support Project for the Fiscal Year 2005)
Oily sludge(oil balls)
Our fuel system plant
Utilized as fuel
Wastewater from kitchens, such as those in ramen shops, contains a significant amount of fat and oil residues, forming the basis for oil balls. These residues often lead to clogging of sewage pipes and, during heavy rains, may flow into public water bodies such as seas and rivers, causing water pollution. The system plant collects and transforms these fat and oil residues (oily sludge) into fuel. The generated recycled fuel has a calorific value of 7,000 to 8,000 kcal/kg and can be used as auxiliary fuel during the incineration of waste and sludge cakes.
Sedimentation basin scum removal device
Shuichi-Kun
Patent No. 3943551, granted in April 2007
Currently, pipe skimmers are installed as scum removal devices in the first and final sedimentation basins of sewage treatment plants. However, during the operation of pipe gaps, only a small amount of scum enters the skimmers, and in many cases, mostly water flows in, resulting in a significantly poor removal efficiency. To address this, we developed the A-W Compression Method (Shu Ichi-kun) for improvement. *This device received the March 2010 Construction Technology Review and Certification (Sewerage Technology).
Hiichi-Kun
Patent No. 4990856, granted in May 2012
Generally, the removal by pipe skimmers used in the final sedimentation basin relies on the surface flow rate of the sedimentation basin to transport scum from the water surface, collecting scum through the intake of the tilted pipe skimmers. However, due to the upward flow, the surface flow rate near the upstream of the pipe skimmers decreases significantly, resulting in a substantial reduction in scum removal efficiency. To address this, we developed our Final Sedimentation Basin Scum Removal Device U-PEC (Hiichi-kun). *This device received the March 2010 Construction Technology Review and Certification (Sewerage Technology).
Scum separation device
Separates scum from the wall using the power of air, carries it on the water flow, preventing adhesion and deposition on the wall.
The scum separation device is a system that comes with Shuichi-kun. Originally developed to efficiently recover thick and dry scum in the first sedimentation basin, it can also handle scum generated in the final sedimentation basin or conduits. One of the factors contributing to scum growth is its adhesion to the wall, hindering its transport on the water flow. The scum separation device enhances scum recovery efficiency by centralizing surface scum without dissolving it into the water.
Treatment facility used in conjunction with Hiichi-kun in the final sedimentation basin.
Collects all scum on the outside of the pipe skimmer intake.
Collects all scum on the outside of the pipe skimmer intake.
Prevents adhesion and deposition by peeling scum off the wall.
