The trans-boundary movement of the microorganism included in the ship ballast water causes the destruction of an marine ecosystem globally. The restrictions concerning the ballast water managements provided by International Maritime Organization (IMO) probably take effect for all new ships in the near future, so that enterprises and research institutions in the world have developed many kinds of ballast water treatment systems to obtain the IMO approval. In most of all systems, chemical treatment is used to kill marine bacteria such as cholera and colon bacillus. For marine environment convention, safe and economic and eco-friendly ballast water treatment systems are desired.
