Abstract: An on-site system building support tool for assisting a user in building an on-site system by displaying a layout creation screen having an icon area for displaying icons, each of which represents any of various kinds of machines that can be used, and a canvas area in which a virtual system is built. The icons are displayed in the canvas area and connected to each other through an association line. A model setting screen is used to display the icons, and on the basis of setting conditions displayed on the model setting screen, a load on the virtual system built on the canvas area is calculated and displayed which applies to the environment. This enables checking of an environmental load on the basis of various kinds of conditions of the site.

Abstract: A method for treating ship ballast water in which organisms viable in the ship ballast water are exterminated by adding to the ship ballast water hydrogen peroxide or a compound producing hydrogen peroxide in an amount such that a hydrogen peroxide concentration comes to be 10 to 500 mg/L and at least one type selected from a ferrous ion or a compound supplying ferrous ion in an amount such that a ferrous ion concentration comes to be 0.1 to 400 mg/L, catalase in an amount such that a concentration of catalase comes to be 0.5 to 2,500 unit/L and iodine or a compound supplying iodine amount such that an iodine concentration comes to be 0.1 to 100 mg/L.

Abstract: For providing a water filtration purifying apparatus and a method thereof, enabling to reduce the manufacturing costs of the apparatus as a whole, by combining a function of filtration and a function of separation/concentration, the filtration function and the separation/concentration are separated, in the structure thereof. Thus, since all sewage waters generated in respective filtration separators can be collected by only one (1) set of a magnetic separator, even if there are plural number of the filtration separators, it is possible to dissolve a problem of rising up the costs of the apparatus, as a whole. With this, it is possible to provide a water filtration purifying apparatus, for enabling high water-quality purification and also reducing low manufacturing costs thereof, by further small-sizing the magnetic separating portion.

Abstract: There is provided a magnetic separation purifying apparatus capable of favorably separating a magnetic substance irrespective of fluctuation of a water surface in a magnetic separation part to thereby stably discharge high density sludge.

Abstract: In a filtering and purifying system, bacteria in raw water are sterilized efficiently with ultraviolet rays, chemicals and the like at a pretreating step. The number of microorganisms such as bacteria remaining in the treated water is reduced remarkably, and the residue of plankton and organic substances as nutrients for bacteria in treated water is reduced by a coagulating and filtering treatment. It is thus possible to solve a problem that the treated water is deteriorated with time due to propagation of the bacteria.
