The Jokaso is a decentralized wastewater treatment system designed to serve multiple households or small facilities in areas without access to a large, centralized sewer network. These highly cost-effective systems treat sewage from small villages, clusters of homes, schools, or public buildings. 

They use a combination of anaerobic and aerobic biological processes to effectively remove organic matter and nutrients from wastewater. These systems are engineered for extremely low maintenance, low energy consumption, and compliance with discharge effluent standards, making them ideal for rural or peri-urban communities. 

The Prefabricated Oxidation Ditch System (POD) is a packaged solution designed for medium-sized wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), constructed using prefabricated concrete components. It is the most widely adopted system for small to medium-sized WWTPs in Japan, with over 150 installations nationwide. LM is currently piloting this technology in Canada to help enhance and protect rural water systems. 

The NSBR is a patented technology that upgrades a conventional Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) into a fully functional Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) system—without the need for additional civil works. This is achieved by integrating advanced mode control systems and a few supplementary equipment to replicate the various treatment stages required for effective nutrient removal. The result is a cost-effective and efficient enhancement that enables existing SBR facilities to meet stricter effluent standards with minimal infrastructure changes.
