JFM and Sewerage
JFM was established as a joint funding organization wholly owned by all
Japanese local governments and has provided long-term and low-interestrate loans to local governments. JFM has supported local governments’finance in the capital markets and has contributed to their sound financial
management and promoted the welfare of their residents.

Japan Finance Organization for Municipalities
President and CEO
SATO Fumitoshi

Local governments, amidst a decrease in population, are facing various
administrative demand, such as the revitalization of regions, measuresagainst the declining birth rate and an aging population, deteriorating
infrastructure, measures against large-scale and intensifying natural
disasters.
To address these challenges, JFM has provided loans to local
governments who develop infrastructure and administrative services totheir residents and has contributed to sustainable development of thecommunity and environment.
Sewerage, which covers the largest portion of JFM’s loan portfolio, is managed by local governments and the quality of water isregulated under the laws of Japan. Sewerage plays an important role and contributes to the improvement of living conditions,prevention of floods and preservation of water quality through waste water treatment and rain water drainage. The national
government and the local governments have worked together to create a sustainable sewerage system such as measures against
aging facilities and minimizing the effect of national disasters and JFM contributes to a sustainable development of the system byproviding loans to local governments.
The Japanese government has set specific targets on sewerage business based on the Paris Agreement, by setting
environmental measures such as sludge recycle rate. Moreover, in accordance with the Act on Promoting of Global WarmingCountermeasures and its related policies, Japan has set a policy goal of achieving the utilization rate of sewage sludge as energy
such as biomass power generation.

The renovation is intended to address
the obsolete environmental
performance of the aging facilities
and to set adequate incineration
capacity responding the decreasing
population. Replacement of the
bubbling fluidized bed sludge
incinerator with a turbocharge-typefurnace with smaller capacity(80→60t/day) will achieve a 30% cut
in power consumption, 20% cut inauxiliary fuel consumption and morethan 50% cut in nitrogen monoxide
emissions. GHG emissions including
power consumption and auxiliary fuelconsumption are also reduced by
70% as combustion under pressure
creates high temperature combustion
zone in the incinerator.

(ⅳ) Case Study 1: Asahikawa City Sewerage Treatment CenterNo.1 Sludge Incinerator Renovation Project
Project Overview (FY2019 - 2022 (Planned))

No. 1 sludge incineration plant under construction

Total Project Cost： JPY1,225.5 million - of which JFM funds: JPY509.9 million(2020.4 -2021.3)
Asahikawa City introduced the No. 1 sludge incineration plant (bubble typefluidized bed incinerator (normal combustion)) in 1996 in order to improve theproperties of and reduce volume of dewatered sludge against the backdrop of thelimited space of its landfill disposal sites.
Although the city conducted appropriate maintenance and steady operation of theplant, it faced various issues such as aging facilities, obsolete environmental
performance and need of reviewing adequate incinerating capabilities along withpopulation decline.

The city plans to downsize the No. 1 sludge incineration plant (from 80t/day to
60t/day) and upgrade the existing incinerator to a turbocharged fluidized bed
incinerator (high-temperature combustion) that reduces GHG emissions and saves
energy.

Highlights

JFM funds were allocated to the construction of buildings and facilities necessary
for the project.

Environmental effect of the upgrade to the turbocharged
fluidized bed incinerator

The introduction of turbocharger utilizing exhaust gas energy enables
the incinerator to operate without using “fluidizing blower” sending air
into the furnace and “induced draft fan” absorbing exhaust gas.
Power consumption can be reduced by 31.2%※
Compared with the conventional “bubble type,” the turbocharged
fluidized bed incineration system combusts sewage sludge underpressure, enabling a downsizing of incinerator
Auxiliary fuel (heavy oil) during incineration can be reduced by
18.9%※The system enables higher combustion speed and forms a partial
high-temperature area in the furnace.
N2O emissions can be reduced by more than 57% owing to thehigh-temperature combustion※
The use of the turbocharged fluidized bed incinerator is expected toreduce greenhouse gas (CO2) emission by 68.5%, if including theeffect of reductions in power consumption and auxiliary fuels※

Purification Center Renovation Project etc.
Project Overview (FY2018 - 2022 (Planned))

Sludge Melting Furnace No.3 at Futagami Purification Center

Total Project Cost： JPY 4,416.3 million - of which JFM funds： JPY 671.7 million(2020.4 -2021.3)
With over 20 years of operation, Futagami Purification Center had been faced with
the issues of increased risk of malfunctions due to the aging of the facilities andincreased costs of maintenance and renovation.
By taking into account the aging of the entire sewerage facilities, the Center
formulated in FY2017 "Stock Management Plan" to optimize facility management
for the entire facilities.

During inspections in 2018, it was found that refractories in Sludge Melting
Furnace No. 3 at Futagami Purification Center showed a sign of deterioration. In
response, the Center started a renovation project to extend its service life in 2019.
JFM funds are used for a project to extend the life of a sludge melting furnace, toupgrade electrical and mechanical equipment in water treatment facilities, and to
reinforce the earthquake resistance of connecting pipes.

Highlights

Environmental effects by adopting a new sludge melting
method*1 Reduction of volumes*A method to convert sewage sludge generated in the process of sewage treatment into slag by melting it at ahigh temperature (approx. 1,300 °C)

2 Detoxification of organic substance

3 Effective use of melted slags

A method to burn organic substance and evaporate moisture to
reduce volume to ~1/20 in comparison with dehydrated sludge
and to ~ 1/3 in comparison with incinerated ash by the
combustion of organic matter and moisture evaporation, which
in turn extend the life of final disposal sites (landfill sites).

Oxidize and burn organic substance in the sludge and convert
inorganic substance into slag, which makes it possible to stabilize
the composition and contain harmful substances (heavy metals)
such as chromium. Also reduce dioxins by 99.99% or more fromthe standard criteria specified by applicable laws.

Use compositionally stable melted slag as
roadbed materials, backfilling materials,
and aggregate for secondary concrete
products.

Murakushi Relay Pump Station was opened to start operation in 1992.
Located adjacent to Lake Hamana, the Murakushi district has difficulty in installing natural flowbased sewer pipes due to its flat land and high groundwater level. Murakushi is Japan’s first pumpstation and pipes to introduce vacuum sewerage system, in which water is collected and conveyed
under vacuum pressure.
The 27-year-old station’s deterioration had been recognized.

Equipment suffering from poor performance due to aging were replaced with more energy-efficientequipment such as vacuum pumps.
JFM funds were allocated to upgrade mechanical equipment such as vacuum pumps, water tanks
and squeeze pumps, and electrical equipment such as power boards and control boards.

Highlights

Environmental effects with vacuum pumps

Environmental load from water conveyance was
improved by ~20% from 0.803kWh/㎥ to 0.652kWh/㎥
