Japan’s wastewater treatment industry faces unique challenges in achieving deep filtration standards while maintaining cost efficiency. As a leading water treatment materials exporter based in Shanghai, Murong International Trade Co., Ltd. has developed specialized solutions for Japanese wastewater treatment stations. Our comprehensive product range includes industrial activated carbon, polyacrylamide, citric acid, and anthracite filter media – all essential components for modern deep filtration systems.
With over a decade of experience in international water treatment material trade, we understand the specific requirements of Japanese wastewater treatment facilities. Our technical team works closely with Japanese engineers to optimize material selection and dosage for different treatment stages. This article explores our recommended solutions for deep filtration in Japan’s wastewater treatment stations, comparing product performance and cost-effectiveness while providing practical implementation guidance.

Industrial Activated Carbon: The Core of Deep Filtration
Activated carbon remains the most critical material for deep filtration in wastewater treatment. Murong International offers four specialized types optimized for Japanese treatment standards:
1. Coconut Shell Activated Carbon
Our premium coconut shell activated carbon features exceptional micropore structure ideal for removing organic contaminants, heavy metals, and residual pharmaceuticals. With iodine numbers exceeding 1000mg/g, this product achieves 99% removal efficiency for common pollutants in Japanese municipal wastewater. The hardness rating of 98% ensures minimal dust generation during backwashing.
2. Columnar Activated Carbon
Designed specifically for fixed-bed filtration systems, our columnar activated carbon offers excellent pressure resistance and uniform particle size distribution (0.8-3.0mm). The cylindrical shape reduces pressure drop while maintaining high adsorption capacity. This product has proven effective in removing color and odor compounds from industrial wastewater in Osaka and Tokyo treatment plants.
3. Honeycomb Activated Carbon
For advanced VOC removal in wastewater treatment station exhaust systems, our honeycomb activated carbon provides 15,000 m²/g specific surface area with 16 cells/cm² density. The regular channel structure ensures uniform airflow distribution while achieving 95% VOC removal efficiency. This product meets Japan’s strict air emission standards for wastewater treatment facilities.
4. Powdered Activated Carbon
When rapid adsorption is required during emergency treatment or peak load periods, our powdered activated carbon offers instant dispersion and high reactivity. With particle size below 200 mesh, this product achieves complete dissolution in 5 minutes, making it ideal for temporary treatment of chemical spills or seasonal algae blooms in Japanese coastal areas.
All our activated carbon products comply with JIS K1474 standard and undergo rigorous quality testing before export. We provide batch-specific test reports showing iodine number, butane activity, and heavy metal content to ensure product consistency for Japanese clients.

Polyacrylamide: Enhancing Filtration Efficiency
As a leading polyacrylamide supplier for Japanese wastewater treatment, Murong International offers three specialized formulations to optimize different treatment stages:
- Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM): Effective for suspended solids removal in primary treatment, with molecular weight options from 8-22 million
- Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM): Ideal for sludge dewatering with charge density ranging from 10-60%
- Nonionic Polyacrylamide (NPAM): Specialized for color removal and heavy metal precipitation in industrial wastewater
Our technical team provides dosage optimization services based on water quality analysis. For typical Japanese municipal wastewater, we recommend 2-5ppm APAM in primary clarification and 10-15ppm CPAM for sludge dewatering. This combination reduces sludge volume by 40-60% while improving filter press efficiency.
All polyacrylamide products comply with Japan’s Water Quality Pollution Control Law and are certified for use in drinking water treatment facilities. We offer both powder and emulsion forms to accommodate different dosing systems in Japanese treatment plants.
Application Case: Osaka Wastewater Treatment Plant
In collaboration with Osaka’s largest treatment facility, we implemented a polyacrylamide optimization program that reduced chemical consumption by 25% while improving effluent quality. By adjusting the molecular weight distribution based on seasonal water quality changes, the plant achieved consistent COD removal above 90% throughout the year.
| Parameter | Before Optimization | After Optimization |
|---|---|---|
| Polyacrylamide Dosage | 18ppm | 13.5ppm |
| Sludge Volume | 120m³/day | 75m³/day |
| Filter Press Cycle | 120 minutes | 90 minutes |
| COD Removal | 88% | 92% |
Complementary Solutions for Deep Filtration
Beyond activated carbon and polyacrylamide, Murong International provides several specialized products to complete the deep filtration system:
1. Citric Acid for Heavy Metal Removal
Our food-grade citric acid offers effective chelation for heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and chromium. With 99.5% purity and low iron content (<5ppm), it meets Japan's strict standards for wastewater reuse. The granular form ensures easy handling and accurate dosing in automated systems.
2. Anthracite Filter Media
Our premium anthracite coal filter media provides excellent mechanical filtration with 0.6-1.2mm particle size distribution. The 85% fixed carbon content ensures long service life while maintaining 12-15m/h filtration velocity. This product is widely used in multi-media filters across Japanese treatment plants.
3. Polymeric Aluminum Chloride (PAC)
As an alternative to traditional aluminum sulfate, our PAC offers higher coagulation efficiency with lower dosage requirements. The basicity range of 50-80% allows customization for different water qualities. The liquid formulation ensures instant dispersion without dust generation.
