WaterworksSupplying "water" essential for daily life

Products that support the water supply and drainage cycle

When you hear the word "waterworks," you may generally think of the "waterworks" that supplies water, but another function, the "sewerage system" that discharges used water, is also necessary for the water supply.

The cycle of "supplying usable water, discharging the used water, and then purifying the water so that it can be used again" is what ensures a stable supply of water necessary for daily life.

Water supply is indispensable to everyone's life. AGC's products play a role in creating this cycle for a stable supply.

Question1AGC's products play in the water supply?

Sodium hypochlorite is widely used for disinfection
and sterilization of water and sewage systems,
swimming pool water, etc.

We use tap water for drinking, cooking, washing, bathing, and many other purposes to live comfortably.Tap water is disinfected with chlorine at a water purification plant before it reaches your home.
AGC's product, sodium hypochlorite, is used as a disinfectant.

Question2Why do you not disinfect the water in the sewers?

Tap water used in your homes is sent to a treatment plant as sewage.

This sewage is inhabited by a variety of microorganisms, some of which can cause disease,so it must be disinfected before being discharged into the river.

AGC's sodium hypochlorite is also used for that disinfection. It is also useful as a sewage treatment material.

The design is a little different in each region,
but it's always somewhere on the meter reading.

Water utility bills also include both water and sewerage charges, etc.

Please take a look at the "meter reading slip (notice of water/sewerage usage, etc.)" that you receive from the water department at home.
