神奈川県川崎市。
Kanagawa Prefecture, Kawasaki City.豊かな生態系を保っている多摩川の畔に、 味の素川崎工場の排水溝がある。
By the Tamagawa river bank that sustains a rich ecosystem, there's an Ajinomoto factory drain.味の素川崎工場は、 生活に馴染み深い商品の製造をしている工場だ。
The Ajinomoto Kawasaki factory is a factory that produces products deeply familiar with lifestyle.今日はこの工場で使った水を多摩川に返すまでの味の素の取り組みについて案内したい。
Today, we'd like to introduce to you Ajinomoto's efforts on the water used by this factory until it is returned to Tamagawa.ここで、 一人の男にスポットが当たる。
Here, we put the spotlight on one man.工場の排水処理、 全てを知る男、 大井利昭。
The man who knows everything about all the waste water treatment in the factory - Ooi Toshiaki.ここは食品調味料やアミノ酸など、 様々な製品を製造する小規模な工場が集まった工業団地のようになっています。
This place is something like an industrial complex with a collection of small-scale factories manufacturing various products such as food condiments and amino acids.各工場から様々な性質を持った、 それぞれ量の違う排水が出ているので、 これらを適切に処理する必要があります。
Waste water of different properties and every amount is produced from each factory, so there's a need to process them appropriately.排水は一日四千二百立方メートル。 約五千世帯の生活排水に相当する量だ。
There's 4,200 m3 of waste water in a day. That amount is equivalent to the domestic waste water of around 5,000 households.これらを一箇所に集めて処理すべく、 二千十二年に排水処理施設を更新した。
In order to collect all of them in one spot for treatment, we updated the waste water treatment facility in 12.ここでは、 様々な微生物を使い工場排水を処理していく。
Here, factory waste water is being treated using all sorts of microorganisms.一段階目で窒素を取り除く。 二段階目では有機物を分解する。
At the first stage, nitrogen is removed. At the second stage, organic matter is broken down.ここでは、 微生物を活用して二段階の除去工程を更に繰り返し、 二回行ってます。
Here, the second stage removal process using microorganisms is repeated again, it takes place twice.法規制や地域条例に対して、 本来は一回の除去処理で十分です。
According to legal restraints and local regulations, it's ordinarily enough to carry out the removal process once.味の素グループゼロエミッション計画という、 工場周辺環境への負荷を限りなくゼロにするという高い目標を掲げています。
The Ajinomoto Group zero-emission project upholds the lofty goal of making the burden on the environment around the factory to all but zero.この二段階の排水処理を経ると、 一回目の処理で八十五パーセント、 二回目で九十八パーセント窒素が除去される。
By going through this two-stage waste water treatment, 85% of nitrogen is removed at stage one, and 98% at stage two.その効果は高い。
It has high efficacy.我々は、 性質や流量が変化しても、 必ず排水には対応しなければなりません。
For us, even if the properties or oil levels change, we must handle the waste water.そのために毎日、 水質と排水処理施設の状態をチェックし、 微生物が住みやすい環境を整えています。
For that reason, every day, we check the water quality and condition of the waste water treatment plant, to prepare a livable environment for microorganisms排水処理が滞ってしまうと、 工場全体の生産まで止まってしまう。
If waste water treatment stagnates, even all of the factory production will stop.そういう意味では、 排水処理はこの工場の要ですね。
In that sense, waste water treatment is the cornerstone of this factory.微生物を沈殿させた上澄み水が、 厳しい条件を満たした水となり、 ようやく多摩川へ放流される。
The top water the microorganisms caused to settle is water that has fulfilled rigorous conditions and is finally discharged into Tamagawa.更に、 取り除かれた微生物を肥料の原料とし、 全てを活かし切っている。
Furthermore, removed microorganisms are made into raw materials for fertilizers - everything is fully made the best use of.排水処理は工場の基幹であり、 欠かせない業務です。
Waste water treatment is the factory's return, and an indispensable operation.我々は地域の水を大切に使って、 きちんと返すことに真剣に取り組んでいます。
We are earnestly laboring towards using the local water carefully and returning it properly.それは多摩川と共に生きる者として当然のことです。
It's the right thing to do as people living along with Tamagawa.我々は引き続き皆様と共に多摩川を守っていきたいと思っています。
We would like to continue protecting Tamagawa along with everyone.神奈川県川崎市。
