Description

Jellyfish processing system and jellyfish processing method {A eliminating system of jellyfish and A eliminating method of jellyfish}

The present invention relates to a jellyfish processing system and a jellyfish processing method, and more particularly, to a jellyfish processing system and jellyfish processing method that can easily remove jellyfish with high efficiency.

In recent years, due to changes in the marine environment, jellyfish have appeared in coastal waters in large quantities and are caught with fish, causing huge damage to fisheries. Areas where jellyfishes appear in large numbers reduce fish catches and reduce catches, or because jellyfishes are filled with fishing nets, such as political nets, tearing the nets by jammed jellyfish or blocking the entrance to the nets Also occurs. The types of fishing damage caused by jellyfish are very diverse in almost all fisheries, including not only the trap fishing nets, but also the trolls that use the sack nets, the low nets, the eye nets, the Kwon Hyun nets, the fishing nets, the netting nets, and the net fishing nets. It appears in form.

In addition, in the summer, not only fishing damage but also jellyfish flocks appear in the beach, and as the victims are exposed to the poison of the jellyfish, life-related accidents such as damaging the human body of the victims occur.

Thermal power plants and nuclear power plants use seawater as cooling water. The water inlet is called a water intake. Normally, the inlet is surrounded by a breakwater to prevent waves, and the surrounding water is surrounded by floating creatures such as jellyfish along with sea water. In front of the inlet, there is a net (screen) with a hole of about 3 ~ 4mm, and when a large number of jellyfish are generated near the inlet, mucus jellyfish clings to the net, blocking the inlet and preventing seawater from entering the inlet. do. Thus, if the seawater, which is cooling water, is not smoothly supplied into the power plant, damage to power generation may occur.

Conventionally, the method of combating jellyfish has been to firstly release jellyfish, a natural enemy of jellyfish, into the sea in large quantities to combat jellyfish through prey activity. There was a way to lift the boat on the ship. Third, there was a way to catch the jellyfish by the net instead of fishing and transport it to the ship or the land to remove it. Fourth, by using the twin fishing net, the knife at the end of the fishing net. There was a method of cutting the jellyfish by attaching a tool such as the fifth, and the fifth method of combating the jellyfish by spraying chemicals such as iron oxide and lax in the sea water.

However, the conventional jellyfish eradication method has a disadvantage in that efficient jellyfish eradication is not achieved despite a large amount of manpower and cost to remove the jellyfish that is widely spread while chasing jellyfish moving along the algae in the vast ocean. . In addition, there was a problem of marine pollution caused by cutting the jellyfish into small pieces and throwing them back into the sea, and the toxic chemicals used to kill the jellyfish were sprayed over a large area, which was effective in eradicating jellyfish.
