The completion ceremony of the sewage regeneration phosphorus recovery facility constructed in Hokubu Sludge Treatment Plant, Tsurumi Ward, was held together with our joint venture, Tsukishima JFE Aqua Solutions Co., Ltd., to give greetings to the people involved.
Lin, a raw material for fertilizers, relies almost entirely on imports, which is an issue for the stable supply of fertilizers in Japan. If phosphorus, which is abundant in sewage, can be efficiently recovered and returned to farmland as fertilizer raw materials, it will lead to problem solving. In the future, we will do our utmost to make it possible for everyone to pick up the fertilizer from Yokohama that contains the recovered phosphorus.
