What is a JOKASO?
"Jokaso" literally means "purification tank" in Japanese.
In Japan, all household wastewater goes directly into the Jokaso which is usually installed underground as a single, compact tank. There are basically five functional chambers (sedimentation, anaerobic, aeration, storage and disinfection) in a tank. An anaerobic and aerobic combined biological process with high efficiency has been commonly employed as an onsite wastewater treatment sysytem for over 30 years in Japan.
Various types and sizes are available from small residential units (total numbers in Japanese market are 200,000 units annually and 9 million units) to large commercial units (200 m3/day). Now, residential units are also available in USA(Zoeller Company) and Australian markets from FUJI CLEAN.
