Ballast water analysis of Technos Mihara
Accredited under “ISO / IEC 17025: 2005” standard in Japan
As of June 2014, Our ballast water analysis laboratory is approved to check microorganism in ballast water according to an ISO / IEC 17025: 2005 standard . The authorized certifying third party checks whether laboratory of analyzing organization is able to produce accurate monitoring/ calibrating the results. The certifying organization stipulates requirements for the laboratory that performs analysis and measurement and the certifying organization checks the accuracy of the measuring equipment.
Reliable service under “ISO / IEC 17025: 2005” standard certification
ISO / IEC 17025 as a world standard determines whether test / calibrating results is credible or not, is called for in every fields. We provide accurate reports on ballast water analysis, based on the mandatory international standards, which certify quality and capability of laboratory and calibrating organization.
Deballast water analysis of EPA Vessel General Permit (VGP)It is possible to correspond to the required items.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implemented the Vessel General Permit [VGP] program in 2008 to promote vessel environmental regulations. The program consists of various rules, procedures and standards for vessel drainage, including ballast water.
Analysis can be carried out in analytic techniques require the US EPA.
In addition to emission standards, analysis methods have been set for 2013 VGP, and our analysis room can perform analysis using the analysis methods required by the US EPA.
Analytical room that complies
with international standards
Bacteria analysis room
We are fully equipped with facilities for culturing and analyzing each bacterium.
- Total heterotrophic bacteria
- Coliform
- Entercoccus
- Vibrio cholera
Residual biocide analysis room
Chlorine has a high bactericidal effect and has the advantage of sustaining (residual) its effect, so it is most often used as a bactericidal agent. Generally, it has a self-cleaning effect in nature, and pollutants mixed in water are decomposed and removed to a harmless level. On the other hand, if the conditions are met, trace pollutants such as “trihalomethane” may be generated. It is obligatory to regulate and monitor the content of harmful substances contained in discharged water.
- Chlorine Dioxide
- Total Residual Oxidant*
- Chlorine
- Chlorate
- Total Trihalomethanes
- Haloacetic Acids

| Where can it be done ? | It can be done in Japan, the Philippines, and China. Please feel free to consult about other countries as well. |
| What ballast water treatment type can be analyzed? | UV type, chemical (chlorine type) input type, and electrolysis type can be analyzed. |
| How long does it take results of the analysis? | It takes about 1-3 weeks. |
| How long do you need holding time? | Holding time depends on the type of BWTS. Follow the operation manual of the installed ballast water treatment. |
