Title: Innovations by Yasushi Funakoshi in Sewage Treatment Systems

Introduction

Yasushi Funakoshi is an accomplished inventor based in the United States, known for his contributions to sewage treatment technology. He holds two patents that focus on improving the efficiency of sewage filtration systems. His innovative approaches aim to enhance the cleaning process of sewage, making it more effective and environmentally friendly.

Latest Patents

Funakoshi's latest patents include a sewage treatment system designed to clean sewage by filtering solid components through a floating filter medium. This system utilizes a unique filtration method that allows sewage to flow upward in a treatment tank, passing through a layer of cylindrical mesh floating filter media. The specific gravity of the filter media is less than that of the sewage, which aids in the filtration process. To maintain the cleanliness of the floating filter medium, air is jetted from pipes to create a circular flow that dislodges solid components adhering to the filter. The waste, after washing the filter medium, is then discharged from the treatment tank while ensuring thorough jetting of the floating filter media layer.

Another patent by Funakoshi also focuses on a sewage treatment system with air jetting means. This system similarly filters solid components in sewage using a floating filter medium, enhancing filtration performance and cleaning efficiency. The sewage flows upward into the treatment tank and is filtered through the floating filter media layer, which is made of a meshy cylindrical material. The air jetting mechanism is employed to wash the floating filter medium, ensuring that solid components are effectively removed.

Career Highlights

Throughout his career, Yasushi Funakoshi has worked with notable companies, including Hitachi Plant Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. His experience in the field of engineering and construction has significantly contributed to his innovative work in sewage treatment systems.
