The wastewater derived from daily preparation and consumption of foods contains a lot of fats,oils and grease (FOG). FOG has been increasing proportionally by the world population growthand it has caused a serious pollution on rivers and seas.
FOG normally exists as small lumps on a surface of wastewater. In general, 60 tons ofwastewater are required to purify a 200ml cup of FOG. TBM Co., Ltd. has three innovativetechniques to reuse FOG:

1. Technique for the perfect separation and collection of FOG from wastewater.
2. Reforming technique of collected FOG in a new bio fuel for an electricity generator.
3. Converting technique of collected oily sludge in a resource for a methane gas generator.
TBM Co., Ltd. realizes a new green power generation system that protects our water
environment. This system helps to achieve the various objectives of SDGs: reduction of urban
and industrial wastes, reduction of the organic loading rate in sewage water, creation of green
energy and creation of many employment opportunities.

TBM FOG-green power generation system
Our FOG-green power generation system exploits the potentiality of FOG, which isone of the most serious causes of environmental pollution.
Not only in emerging nations but also in developed countries, FOG flowing intorivers and seas heavily contaminate them by pollution substances. Our FOG-green
power generation system exploits the potential of FOG, which is previously
disposed as a waste. Today, unexplored resource can help to achieve the 5objectives of SDGs:

1. FOG from “waste” to “resource” to create green electricity (cfr. SDGsNo7);
2. Convert FOG into a new biofuel (cfr. SDGs No9);
3. Stimulate the circular economy with the reuse of FOG as a resource tocreate electricity (cfr. SDGs No11);
4. Realize the perfect purification of wastewater and reuse of FOG (cfr. SDGsNo 12);
5. Reduce
organic loading

Subject to negotiation
The biofuel for FOG-green power generation system is called Straight Mixed Oils
(SMO). The chemical property of SMO completely differs from BDF in thefollowing points:
1. Throughout the production of SMO,
1-1. No chemical synthesis and chemical additives are used;
1-2. No harmful by-products (ex. glycerol).
Residual sludge are recovered and can be utilized as resources for methane gas(via fermentation reaction) which can be also combusted for power generation.
2. Complete combustion (no ash left)

TBM Co., Ltd. has been planning to apply this technology for a large number ofstores located in Tokyo and neighboring prefectures. It can be estimated that
110kt/year of FOG collected produce 70kt/year of SMO, which generate 280
GWh/year of electricity. This synergetic effect could be equivalent to the reductionof 370kt-CO2 emission, by decreasing the organic load to sewage plants and theamount of petroleum combusted for thermal power generation. If our FOG-green
power generation system will be introduced, we can reduce urban and industrial

Detailed Information about Products/Technologies

Generally, by reforming 1 ton of FOG collected, 600L of SMO can be recovered(recovery rate: approx. 60%). According to the calculation by the National Institutefor Environmental Studies in Japan, 20 gigawatt-hour (GWh) are generated from10,000 tons of FOG, resulting 30,000 tons of CO2 are reduced.

Advantages

2. Since April 2017, the FOG-green power generation system’s power plant(Saitama prefecture) generates 100KW x 24 hours x 365 days.
3. From 2016 to 2017, under the auspice of NEDO, we have executed theExamples of use(Domestic and overseas) project “Locavorism of green energy” in the Musashino municipality, Tokyo.

Our FOG-green power generation system was introduced to 160 stores in thecommercial district of the municipality. In this area, FOG was collected which
was equivalent to 47GWh of electricity per year.
4. We are proceeding the installation of our green power plants in various
municipalities: Yokohama city, Tokorozawa city and Toshima-ku ofmetropolitan Tokyo.
