Abstract
Description
本発明は、有害生物を含むことがある船舶のバラスト水の処理技術に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a technique for treating ballast water of a ship that may contain pests.
船舶は積み荷の状態によって喫水が変化するため、船舶の安定性、航行の安全上等のために一定の喫水を確保する必要があり、荷揚げ港で荷積み状態に対応してバラストタンク海水を取り入れ並びに排出するようにしている。しかし、このバラスト水に、細菌、有害プランクトン等の有害微生物や甲殻類、貝類等の有害生物(以後、有害微生物と有害生物の総称を有害生物とする)が含まれることやタンク内で繁殖することがあるため、このようなバラスト水が荷積み港で排出されると、その港を汚染することになる。
そのため、有害生物を含むバラスト水の排出が問題視され、条約(非特許文献1)により禁止される可能性が生じている。
Since the draft of a ship changes depending on the state of loading, it is necessary to ensure a certain draft for the stability of the ship, navigation safety, etc., and ballast tank seawater is taken in at the loading port corresponding to the loading state. As well as discharge. However, this ballast water contains harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and harmful plankton, and pests such as crustaceans and shellfish (hereinafter referred to as pests). As such, when such ballast water is discharged at a loading port, the port is contaminated.
Therefore, discharge of ballast water containing pests is regarded as a problem, and there is a possibility that it is prohibited by the Convention (Non-Patent Document 1).
そこで、有害微生物を処理する方法の分野の内で、有害微生物を処理するものとして、塩素処理方法、オゾン処理方法、電気化学処理方法、パイプミキサーによってキャビテーションを発生させる方法等の一般的方法並びにバラストタンク内の海水を過酸化水素液にして、その状態を長時間維持することにより有害プランクトンのシスト殺滅方法(特許文献1参照)温水や蒸気を用いて、バラストタンク内の沈殿物中の有害プランクトンを加熱よって死滅させ、バラストタンク内の水を清浄な海水域で張り替えて、バラストタンク内の全海水が清浄な海水にする方法(特許文献2参照)、固定床型電極電解層にバラスト水を供給して微生物を死滅処理する方法(特許文献3参照)、バラスト水中の高電圧パルス放電の衝撃によって微生物を損傷させる方法(特許文献4参照)、バラストタンク内のバラスト水の酸素濃度2%以下にするように窒素ガスでの置換方法(特許分5参照)等の各種の有害微生物処理方法が提案されている。 Therefore, in the field of methods for treating harmful microorganisms, as a method for treating harmful microorganisms, chlorination methods, ozone treatment methods, electrochemical treatment methods, general methods such as a method of generating cavitation by a pipe mixer, and ballast A method for killing harmful plankton cysts by changing the seawater in the tank to hydrogen peroxide and maintaining the state for a long time (see Patent Document 1) Harmful in sediment in the ballast tank using warm water and steam The plankton is killed by heating, and the water in the ballast tank is replaced with clean seawater so that all seawater in the ballast tank becomes clean seawater (see Patent Document 2). Ballast water is applied to the fixed-bed electrode electrolytic layer. A method for killing microorganisms by supplying water (see Patent Document 3), and damaging microorganisms by impact of high-voltage pulse discharge in ballast water Various treatment methods for harmful microorganisms such as a method (see Patent Document 4) and a replacement method with nitrogen gas (see Patent 5) so that the oxygen concentration of ballast water in the ballast tank is 2% or less have been proposed. .
しかし、塩素処理方法ではトリハロメタン等の有害物質が発生し、船舶中に次亜塩素酸や塩素ガスを保管する危険性がある。また二酸化塩素処理では殺菌には効果があるが、危険性があり薬品費が高くなる。オゾン処理方法では、有害微生物を含んだ海水を多量に処理するために多量のオゾンが必要になり費用が高くなる。電気化学処理では電極の汚れや目詰まり防止用の細かいフィルタが必要になり、そのメンテナンスが容易でないこと並びに細かいフィルタを使用することによる圧力損失等があり、有害微生物を含んだ海水を多量に処理するには不利である。従来のパイプミキサーの処理方法ではキャビテーションの発生が不十分で殺菌力が不足である。バラスト水の張り替え方法では船舶の安定性及び安全性を考えると排水と取水の操作が両方同時に必要でありポンプや系統の切り替えの操作が煩雑になる。さらに有害微生物を含んだバラスト水の直接排出は、海洋汚染の原因になる。タンク内の窒素ガス置換方法では窒素置換が速やかに進行しないことやタンク内の酸素不足で作業員に危険性があることや特に航海日程が短いと殺菌が不十分になること等従来技術には諸問題がある。 However, in the chlorination method, harmful substances such as trihalomethane are generated, and there is a risk of storing hypochlorous acid and chlorine gas in the ship. Chlorine dioxide treatment is effective for sterilization, but it is dangerous and increases chemical costs. In the ozone treatment method, a large amount of ozone is required to treat a large amount of seawater containing harmful microorganisms, which increases costs. Electrochemical treatment requires a fine filter to prevent electrode contamination and clogging, and its maintenance is not easy, and pressure loss due to the use of a fine filter causes a large amount of seawater containing harmful microorganisms. It is disadvantageous to do. In the conventional pipe mixer processing method, the occurrence of cavitation is insufficient and the sterilizing power is insufficient. In the ballast water replacement method, considering the stability and safety of the ship, both drainage and water intake operations are required at the same time, and the operation of switching pumps and systems becomes complicated. In addition, direct discharge of ballast water containing harmful microorganisms causes marine pollution. In the conventional technology, nitrogen replacement in the tank does not proceed quickly, there is danger to workers due to lack of oxygen in the tank, and sterilization becomes insufficient especially when the voyage is short. There are various problems.
本発明は従来技術における問題を解決し、船舶での使用に際し、適応性、安全性並びに操作性が高く、取り込み海水中に含まれる有害生物を殺滅するバラスト水の処理方法及び装置を提供することを課題とする。 The present invention solves the problems in the prior art, and provides a ballast water treatment method and apparatus that has high adaptability, safety and operability when used on a ship, and which kills pests contained in intake seawater. This is the issue.
本発明は上記課題を解決するために、請求項1と3はバラスト水の処理方法であり、有害生物を含む海水を取り入れた時のポンプの水圧と水流を利用して、OHR(非特許文献2)を用いて上記海水中にキャビテーションを発生させて、上記有害生物をキャビテーションの状態下に曝すことことにより、上記有害生物の少なくとも大部分を死滅させ、処理後の上記海水を生物汚染の無い船舶のバラスト水として排出可能することを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a method for treating ballast water, which utilizes OHR (non-patent document) by utilizing the water pressure and water flow of a pump when seawater containing pests is taken in. 2), cavitation is generated in the seawater, and the pests are exposed to cavitation to kill at least most of the pests, and the treated seawater is free from biological contamination. It can be discharged as ballast water for ships.
本発明は上記課題を解決するために、請求項2と4はバラスト水の処理方法であり、有害生物を含む海水を取り入れた時のポンプの水圧と水流を利用して、OHRを用いて上記有害生物を物理的に破砕することによって、上記有害生物の少なくとも大部分を死滅させ、処理後の上記海水を生物汚染の無い船舶のバラスト水として排出可能することを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a method for treating ballast water, wherein the water pressure and the water flow of the pump when seawater containing pests is taken in and the OHR is used. By physically crushing the pests, at least most of the pests are killed, and the seawater after the treatment can be discharged as ballast water of a ship free from biological contamination.
本発明により、請求項1と3でのバラスト水の処理方法で、有害生物を含む海水を取り入れた時のポンプの水圧と水流を利用して、OHRを用いて上記海水中にキャビテーションを発生させて、上記有害生物をキャビテーションの状態下に曝すことにより、上記有害生物の少なくとも大部分を死滅させ、処理後の上記海水を生物汚染の無い船舶のバラスト水として排出可能することから、船舶における有害生物を含むバラスト水の処理問題を解決できる。 According to the present invention, in the ballast water treatment method according to claims 1 and 3, cavitation is generated in the seawater using OHR using the water pressure and water flow of the pump when seawater containing pests is taken in. By exposing the pests to cavitation, at least most of the pests are killed and the treated seawater can be discharged as ballast water for ships without biological contamination. It can solve the problem of ballast water containing organisms.
また請求項2と4でのバラスト水の処理方法で、有害生物を含む海水を取り入れた時のポンプの水圧と水流を利用して、OHRを用いて上記有害生物を物理的に破砕することによって、上記有害生物の少なくとも大部分を死滅させ、処理後の上記海水を生物汚染の無い船舶のバラスト水として排出可能することからも、船舶における有害生物を含むバラスト水の処理問題を解決できる。 Further, in the method for treating ballast water according to claims 2 and 4, by physically crushing the pest using OHR using the water pressure and water flow of the pump when seawater containing pest is taken in. Also, since at least most of the pests are killed and the treated seawater can be discharged as ballast water for ships without biological contamination, the problem of treating ballast water containing pests in ships can be solved.
バラスト水の取水パイプ、排水パイプ並びにバラストタンク直前の送水パイプに必要に応じて、OHRを一個または複数個を設置する。ただし発生した気泡は、配管に悪影響を与える可能性があるため(非特許文献3)、OHRの配置位置はバラストタンク直前の送水パイプが好ましいと考えられる。特にバラストタンク直前の送水パイプにOHRを複数個設置する場合では、処理海水を例えば、2個のバラストタンク間を往復させる工程を繰り返すと有害生物を死滅させる効果が向上する。またバラストタンクへの注水工程と排水工程の処理海水の水流に対してOHRの向きが逆になるため、これら一連の工程を繰り返すたびに、OHRに付着した有害生物の残骸が除去できる。 Install one or more OHRs as necessary for the intake pipe, drain pipe, and water supply pipe just before the ballast tank. However, since the generated bubbles may adversely affect the piping (Non-Patent Document 3), it is considered that the water supply pipe immediately before the ballast tank is preferable for the arrangement position of the OHR. In particular, when a plurality of OHRs are installed in the water supply pipe immediately before the ballast tank, the effect of killing pests is improved by repeating the process of retreating the treated seawater between, for example, two ballast tanks. In addition, the direction of OHR is reversed with respect to the flow of seawater in the water injection process and drainage process of the ballast tank, so that the pest debris attached to OHR can be removed each time these series of processes are repeated.
このOHRにより、水中で急激な局所的圧力変動が生じ、全体的に無数の気泡が発生し、この気泡が急激に崩壊するキャビテーションが水中で全体的に発生する。この崩壊時に生じる衝撃波による物理的破壊作用と、キャビテーション内部での水分子の分解によって生じたOHラジカルによる化学的な酸化作用により、有害生物が死滅する。 This OHR causes sudden local pressure fluctuations in the water, and innumerable bubbles are generated as a whole, and cavitation in which the bubbles rapidly collapse is generated in the water. Pests are killed by the physical destruction caused by the shock wave generated during the collapse and the chemical oxidation caused by OH radicals generated by the decomposition of water molecules inside the cavitation.
このキャビテーションによる殺菌作用の一例として、集団感染を起こすクリプトスポリウム等のオーシスト殻のような堅い殻で保護され、死滅が困難な菌であっても、強力な衝撃波によって保護殻を破壊すると殺菌が可能であると報告されている(非特許文献4)。
このことから、有害生物であっても、その体内の細胞を超音波による気泡崩壊時に生じる衝撃波による物理的破壊作用と、キャビテーション内部での水分子の分解によって生じたOHラジカルによる化学的な酸化作用により破壊が可能であり、甲殻類、貝類の場合は、生物の全細胞を完全に分解せずとも、呼吸器官等の生命維持に重要な器官の細胞を破壊すればその生命体は、生命を維持出来ずに死滅する。特に甲殻類、貝類の場合では、呼吸器官で海水を取り込んで呼吸しているため、呼吸器官の細胞は気泡崩壊時の衝撃波やOHラジカルの影響を受けやすい。
As an example of sterilization by cavitation, even if it is a hard shell such as Cryptosporium or other oocyst shell that causes mass infection and is difficult to kill, sterilization can be achieved by destroying the protective shell by a strong shock wave. It has been reported that this is possible (Non-Patent Document 4).
From this, even if it is a pest, the cells in the body are physically destroyed by shock waves generated when bubbles are broken by ultrasound, and the chemical oxidation action by OH radicals generated by the decomposition of water molecules inside the cavitation In the case of crustaceans and shellfish, if the cells of vital organs such as respiratory organs are destroyed without destroying all the cells of the organism completely, Dies without being able to maintain. Particularly in the case of crustaceans and shellfish, the respiratory organs take in seawater and breathe, so the cells of the respiratory organs are easily affected by shock waves and OH radicals when the bubbles collapse.
Claims (4)
In order to enable seawater containing pests to be discharged as ship ballast water, the process of claim 2 is performed after the pests are physically pulverized by passing the seawater through a slit, and at least most of the pests are removed.
