With growing awareness about sewage recycling in the city, a new technology was recently launched to cater to the domestic sector. HECS Private Ltd., in collaboration with Daiki Axis Company, Japan recently launched ‘Johkasou’ , a Japanese technology-based packaged sewage treatment plant for the domestic, industrial and commercial sectors in the city, a press release said. Several apartment complexes in the city’s fringes recycle waste water through their own sewage treatment plants (STP). Elaborating on the ‘Johkasou’ technology, Hiroshi Ogame, president, Daiki Axis, Japan, said the decentralised mode of sewage treatment helped in mitigating pollution in Japan’s water bodies. A technical presentation of the Johkasou technology was also part of the event.
