Used paper diapers Dispose by draining into sewers To demonstration experiment September 18, 19:28
Since the disposal of a large amount of disposable diapers that have been used at nursing care sites and child-rearing households has become a burden, the first demonstration experiment will be carried out during this month by crushing disposable diapers and flowing wastewater into the sewer. It was.
The disposal of large amounts of disposable diapers at nursing care facilities is a burden every day, and the voice of the child-rearing households that they are struggling to dispose of them has been raised. We are examining whether it can be disposed of by draining it into the sewer.
On the 18th, an expert review meeting was held in Tokyo, and at the end of this month, we started a demonstration experiment of disposal using sewers at a nursing facility.
Experiments are performed using special equipment developed by housing equipment manufacturers.
It is a mechanism that puts used paper diapers into the equipment, finely pulverizes them, then cleans them with chemicals and separates them into filthy water and crushed paper diapers.
Waste water is drained into the sewer, and crushed paper diapers are disposed of as burnable garbage.
Failure to verify and whether not occur effects and sewer pipe in the experiment to water quality, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport we want to put the prospect of practical use in the next fiscal year.
Professor Hiroaki Morita of Nihon University, who is the chair of the study group, says, “The sewerage system is highly expected as the population ages. We want to collect data through experiments and conduct verification for practical use.”
