Abstract

An organism deposition preventing system for removing organisms propagated in water comprises: an ozonizer for generating ozone, an ozone adsorber containing an ozone adsorbent for storing ozone generated by the ozonizer, a water-jet ejector for injecting an ozonous gas produced by desorbing ozone from the ozone adsorbent of the ozone absorber into the water, and a carbon dioxide gas source means for supplying carbon dioxide gas to be injected into the water together with the ozonous gas or in synchronism with the injection of the ozonous gas into the water. A microorganism removing method for removing microorganisms propagated in water injects a mixed gas consisting of an ozonous gas and carbon dioxide gas into the water or injects carbon dioxide gas in synchronism with the injection of the ozonous gas into the water.
