Customer Concerns

Company A (automobile part manufacturer)


  • To reduce the amount of industrial waste product to
    treat and its treatment costs
  • (1) To reduce the costs for treating compressor drain
      waste solution
    (2) To be able directly to drain waste solution from the
      drain

Present state

Drain waste solution was collected in a pale, and then switched to a drum.
This was then outsourced to a treatment specialist for treatment.

Customer testimonials It smelled awful. (Mr. B)It also looked terrible. (Mr. C)We do not have much space, so we can't setup any large treatment system. (Mr. D)

Company A compressor equipment Annual waste-solution treatment costs
15 kw: (0.2 L/h × 20 h) x 6 units = 24 L
22 kw: (4 L/h × 20 h) x 2 units = 160 L
37 kw: (5 L/h × 8 h) x 2 units = 80 L
Monthly discharge amount: 264 L x 22 days = 5,808 L
Monthly treatment costs: 5,800 L x ¥47 = ¥272,600
Annual treatment costs: 58,000 L x ¥47 = ¥2,726,000

Our proposal

Reduce treatment costs 1/10 by using a new
waste-solution treatment system

Proposed use of a new treatment system that is lightweight, compact and does
not use electricity.
Collects floating oil within the system so it can be directly discharged.
Drain waste solution treatment costs can be lowered to 1/10 of existing
expenditures.
