Kuraray Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Fumio Ito) today reported that it obtained certification* from the Government of Japan on May 30, 2012 for its new ballast water management system?MICROFADE?(Treatment Rated Capacity: 125-4,000m3/hour). Now Kuraray announces that it will initiate sales of?MICROFADE.

The system, expendable supplies, and replacement parts shall be sold for dockyards and ship owners in Japan and overseas. An operational base will be established to provide supplies and replacement parts at principal overseas ports.
Sales Targets
After International Convention for the Control and Management of Ship's Ballast water and Sediment becomes effective, newbuilds and existing ships will be obliged to install or retrofit ballast water management systems (BWMS).
Kuraray expects sales to peak in 2017, when it aims to achieve annual sales of £¤20-30 billion.
About?MICROFADE
- Multi-phase system sufficiently removes organisms through high-precision filtration during the front-end process, thus reducing the amount of active substances (chemical substances) used during the post process sterilization.
- Eliminates most ballast water plankton, both small (10 to 50¦Ìm) and large (50¦Ìm and up) using a proprietary high-precision filter. Remaining plankton and bacteria are sterilized with low concentrations of active substances.
Key Features
- £¨1£©Reduced Power Consumption : Low power consumption during system operation helps eliminate the need for additional generators, making the system especially attractive to existing ships constrained by modification hurdles.
- £¨2£©Space Conservation : The system does not require the installation of any particular kind of tank, due to the utilization of solid chemical agents that can be stored at room temperature.
- £¨3£©Stable Capacity : The BWMS is designed for use with freshwater, brackish water and seawater. System capacity is not affected by water conditions such as quality, temperature, salinity or turbidity.
- £¨4£©Easy to Install : This shortens installation time, providing cost savings.
Thanks to the above features,?MICROFADE?flexibly is suitable for us in most of vessels, from small ship to large ships. It is designed with both newbuilds and retrofits in mind. Indeed,?MICROFADE?is already earning a high reputation from existing ships, where the market is exhibiting strong demand for retrofits.
