Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for treating ballast water.
The restoring force of the ship is determined by the interaction of gravity and buoyancy acting on the ship. If the ship is not tilted, gravity and buoyancy are present on the same line of action, and no force is generated. However, when the ship is tilted, gravity and buoyancy are present on different lines of action, resulting in a combined force of gravity and buoyancy, .
Here, the gravity is determined by the weight of the ship, and the buoyancy is determined by the volume of the ship submerged in seawater. In order to improve the restoring force, it is preferable to increase the buoyancy by increasing the volume of the ship submerged in seawater.
On the other hand, in the case of a ship carrying cargo, the volume of the ship submerged in seawater may be changed as the weight of the cargo is changed or the cargo is loaded or unloaded. In order to compensate, the ship may be equipped with a ballast water treatment apparatus .
The present invention relates to a ship equipped with a ballast water treatment apparatus.
The ballast water treatment system is a system that recovers seawater and increases the weight of the ship or releases the incoming seawater to restore the weight of the ship. For example, if the cargo is unloaded, the ballast water treatment device can increase the weight of the ship by introducing seawater, and when the cargo is loaded, it can reduce the weight of the ship by discharging seawater to the ballast water treatment device. In this way, as the seawater is introduced or discharged depending on the situation, the total weight of the ship can be maintained to be optimum, and a sufficient restoring force can be secured.
Thus, the restoration force of the ship can be secured by the inflow and discharge of seawater by the ballast water treatment apparatus. However, the inflow and outflow of seawater can be done in the same place, but the occurrence of different microbes in different places can be a cause of death of marine microorganisms. There are various kinds of microorganisms in seawater, and the kinds of microorganisms may be different in each seawater. However, when the seawater flowing in a specific sea water is released into another sea water, the seawater may be contaminated due to mixing of different microorganisms.
In order to prevent this, a ballast water treatment apparatus is provided with a filter for preventing inflow of microorganisms, and a sterilizing agent may be used to extinction microorganisms not filtered by the filter. In other words, by injecting sterilizing agent into the inflowing seawater, microorganisms remaining in the stored sea water are destroyed.
However, if residual water is contained in the seawater when releasing the stored seawater, it may cause the native species already existing in the water body to be killed. Thus, in order to prevent such environmental damage and economic damage, the ballast water treatment apparatus emits seawater after removing the disinfectant component.
Here, a neutralizing agent may be used to remove the disinfectant component, and a separate means for injecting the neutralizing agent may be provided in the ballast water treatment apparatus.
On the other hand, if the concentration of the neutralizing agent to be injected is too high, it may also cause contamination of seawater in the relevant area.
Therefore, it is required to introduce an invention that allows an appropriate level of neutralizing agent to be injected into the ballast water at the time of dibaling.
The object of the present invention is to provide a ballast water treatment apparatus for injecting a neutralizing agent into ballast water which is de-ballasting based on a measurement result of one TRO sensor measuring the TRO concentration of neutralized ballast water .
The present invention provides a ballast water treatment method for injecting a neutralizing agent into a ballast water which is de-ballasting based on a measurement result of a TRO sensor measuring a TRO concentration of a neutralized ballast water injected with a neutralizing agent .
