What is Johkasou?
A Smarter Way to Treat Water
Johkasou is a prefabricated, decentralized wastewater treatment system that treats and purifies sewage right where it’s generated — without relying on large, centralized plants.
Developed and perfected in Japan by Daiki Axis, it is engineered for efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial use.
With millions of units installed worldwide, Johkasou has become a symbol of responsible water management and eco-friendly innovation — now bringing that legacy to India through Daiki Axis India.
How Johkasou Works
Engineered for Efficiency Designed for Sustainability
Johkasou treats domestic and industrial wastewater through multiple stages of biological and physical processes inside a single, compact unit.
Separation Box
Separate solids in wastewater by gravity and prevent the agitation of the excess sludge in Sedimentation & Separation Chamber by influent.
Separation & Sedimentation Chamber
Separate solid debris or impurities from water in influent and circulated water and store these sediments in the chamber Accumulated sludge should be dislodged from the tank periodically at least once in 6-12 month.
Anaerobic Chamber
It is filled with filter materials, which separate solids and keep anaerobic microorganisms to decompose organic mater.
Moving Bed Chamber
It is filled with mesh cylindrical media, which retain aerobic microorganisms to decompose and remove organic matter from wastewater.
Sedimentation Chamber
In order to obtain clear treated water, separate the excess sludge (suspended solids, SS) by gravity. The settled sludge is constantly returned to the sedimentation & separation chamber by the airlift pump.
Recirculation mechanism
Returns settled sludge through an airlift pump to support continuous and efficient wastewater treatment.
Disinfection Chamber
Disinfect the treated water to discharge to the river or other water bodies.
Why Johkasou
Core Concept of Johkasou
A comprehensive approach to wastewater treatment that integrates technology, management, and environmental stewardship for sustainable communities.
Regulatory Framework
Johkasou system is regulated by the Johkasou Act, which stipulates technical standards for manufacturing, installation, and operation & maintenance including desludging procedures.
Qualified Technicians
The Act establishes a comprehensive qualification system for Johkasou-related technicians, ensuring proper installation, maintenance, and operation by certified professionals.
Performance Standards
Each Johkasou product must pass rigorous performance evaluation tests before market introduction, guaranteeing consistent treatment quality and reliability.
Sludge Management
Generated sludge is appropriately treated at night soil treatment facilities before being used as fertilizer or industrial fuel, completing the sustainable cycle.
Compact, Clean, and Future-Ready
Unlike conventional sewage systems that require large space, civil work, and complex maintenance, Johkasou offers a plug-and-play, decentralized solution with unmatched benefits:
Space-Saving Design
Compact FRP structure, ideal for urban and semi-urban areas.
Quick Installation
Pre-engineered and ready-to-use design reduces setup time dramatically.
Low Maintenance
Robust system with minimal energy and operational needs.
Eco-Friendly Operation
Enables water reuse, reduces discharge, and protects natural water bodies.
Versatile Use
Suitable for homes, apartments, factories, institutions, and resorts.
Cost effective solution
Lower infra costs; cuts transport and boosts efficiency.
Localized Treatment
Ideal for rural/urban areas without central infra; treats waste on-site, skips transport.
Water Reuse Capability
Treated water for irrigation, flushing, industry; saves freshwater.
Silent Operation
Noise-free design suits homes and businesses.
Government Approved Technology
Rigorous Quality Assurance
Every Johkasou product must pass comprehensive performance evaluation tests before entering the market. Our technology meets the highest standards set by the Japanese government for structural integrity, treatment efficiency, and environmental safety.
This certification ensures that our systems deliver consistent, reliable performance while maintaining the strictest quality and environmental standards.

Choose the Right Solution for Your Needs
Decentralized water treatment systems for both homes and industries.
Traditional Septic Tank
- High Groundwater Pollution Risk: Untreated wastewater leaches into soil via drain field, contaminating aquifers.
- No Water Reuse: Effluent goes to drain field — zero recycling.
- Frequent Desludging Needed: Sludge builds up quickly; requires pumping every 1–3 years.
- Large Land Requirement: Needs big soak pit/drainfield; not feasible in urban/dense areas.
- Odor & Health Hazards: Poor sealing leads to foul smell and pathogen spread.
- Non-Compliant with Modern Norms: Does not meet CPCB/NGT treated water discharge standards.
Daiki Axis Johkasou STP
- Zero Pollution – Full Treatment: AAA process treats black + grey water to BOD <10 mg/L; safe discharge or reuse.
- 100% Water Reuse: Treated water for flushing, gardening, cooling — saves 40–50% freshwater.
- Minimal Maintenance: Desludge only every 6–12 months; no daily operator needed.
- Compact & Modular: Fits under driveway/parking; ideal for homes, hotels, factories.
- Odor-Free & Silent: FRP sealed tank; noise <50 dB, no smell except during service.
- Fully Compliant: Meets CPCB, NGT, MoEFCC, CPHEEO & Japan Johkasou Law standards.
