are grateful for all the support we have received and will continue to work
together with storytellers and local residents involved in disaster prevention

Fieldwork II: Sen-en purification center and JNEX bioplant
Gathering: (reserved only) 8:50 at Aobayama bus stop
(集合：当日 8:50，バス停「青葉山駅前」。)

・Sen-en purification center

Sen-en purification center, receiving wastewater in 120,000 m3/day i, is thesecond largest WWTP in Miyagi-ken. The A/O and A/A/O methods are used totreat the wastewater and the sewage sludge is effectively digested for biogas,
which is further converted to low-carbon electricity in the plant.
・Jnex bioplant

Jnex has been the largest biogas plant in Japan. This plant receives organic solid
wastes from local areas and produces biogas, electricity and fertilizers. Jnex ismaking contributions to sustainable society in Sendai by reducing solid wastes,
recycling bio-energy and reusing organic matters and nutrients.
