METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STERILIZING SEAWATER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for sterilizing seawater which can easily answer to change of salt concentration in the seawater and can easily follow up even fluctuation of acceptance of electrolyzed sterilizing water and by which installation cost of a storing tank thereof can be reduced. SOLUTION: The seawater having high concentration of hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite is stored in an electrolytic water tank 4 after circulating the seawater between the electrolytic water tank 4 and an electrolytic water manufacturing apparatus 5. The seawater having high concentration of hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite is supplied to an electrolyzed sterilizing water tank 3 at need and meanwhile filtered seawater is directly supplied to the electrolyzed sterilizing water tank 3 and the seawater having adjusted concentration of hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite is used.
