B-DASH Project

B-DASH Project (Breakthrough by Dynamic Approach in Sewage High Technology Project) is a national project that Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism (MLIT) carries out.
The Project aims to:

• Accelerate the research and development of new technologies and their practical applications,
• Enhance costs reduction in sewage works,
• Promote renewable energy,
• Facilitate the global presence of Japanese companies in their water business.

In B-DASH Project, National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM) carries out all demonstrations as contracted researches.
