Miura's large size filters, with pores larger than 50 μm, eliminate 99.99% of organisms, while our small-size filters with pores smaller than 50 μm reliably kill off all other organisms using UV irradiation. UV irradiation completely eliminates organisms in an extremely clean process that is not harmful to the environment.

Flow charts can be displayed using the touch panel, making it easy to keep track of filter operating status. Even navigation officers with little experience or untrained staff can easily clean the filters with the touch of a button. Moreover, the filters can be cleaned without opening the filter cover. As operation is possible even from outside the engine room, it is easy to send out a warning or announcement if needed. Preventative operation is made simple, and safe operation effortless.
