Technology data

Name of technology	Water treatment facilities with self-cleaning system and media
Field of the technology	Major category B	Sub-category 4, 5, 6, 8
Conceivable applications	Filtration to produce drinking water and/or process water from river water, pond water, underground water, etc. Wastewater Filtration to be discharged or reused.
Performance	Saito Tank is sand filter tank which can remove suspended substances in the water. It treats river and well water to make it drinkable and industrial wastewater to be able to discharge or reuse. While conventional filter tank must replace the sand media periodically. Saito Tank does not have to replace media filter tank due to self-cleaning system. It leads to the reduction of the maintenance cost and operation cost and stabilization of the filtered water quality.
Technical maturity	Past record of introduction Sand filtration method is conventional filter system. And we developed self-cleaning system "Saito washing system" in 2003. We have already delivered about 60 facilities, which are in operation without problems and replacing media.
Competitive advantage	Reducing maintenance and operational cost. Filtration ability is enhanced by customized special media.
Conceivable risk	No
