Description

Artificial floating lake system constructed in a surrounding water body

The present invention relates to a method and system for processing and constructing a floating lake which is built in a large body of water in which the water quality and/or aesthetic characteristics of the floating lake meet different recreational or more stringent standards. .

There are a large number of water bodies around the world where the microbial, physicochemical and/or aesthetic conditions of water bodies are unacceptable for recreational purposes such as bathing and water sports projects that are in direct contact with water. The water quality in these bodies of water poses a potential health and safety risk to those who are in direct contact with water. In addition, the aesthetics of such water bodies may not be attractive, pleasing, and/or desirable, which may further hinder recreational use. Examples of water bodies such as golf course ponds, reservoirs, park ponds, dams, rivers, lakes, oceans, bays, rivers, etc., may have microbial, physicochemical, and/or aesthetic conditions that render the water body unsuitable for recreational use. These bodies of water can be found in crowded cities, in rural areas or in areas of low population density.

As the world's population continues to increase, as many territories are occupied by high speeds, land is becoming a scarce resource. Due to the proximity to the sea or the river, the coastal area attracts many people. However, the rapid development of these areas often leads to the use of available land for residential or industrial This limits the opportunity to use these areas for recreational purposes. In non-coastal areas, many people are unable to access or live near water bodies where water quality and/or aesthetic conditions are suitable for recreational use. In cities where natural or artificial water bodies are crowded, the available land is usually used for residential or industrial purposes, leaving no inland space for water bodies, thereby providing water sports and other recreation related to water bodies. Opportunities to improve the quality of life of people in these cities. In addition, water bodies located in densely populated areas may not be suitable for recreational use due to debris, pollution and/or unsafe conditions of the water body (such as bottom tilt, poor clarity, and unknown underwater terrain).

Many people around the world yearn for areas close to waters that are similar to tropical waters, where water has low turbidity, high transparency, clarity of clear water production, and a white sandy beach that creates an attractive and desirable Aesthetic features. The clarity of the water in the tropical ocean attracts visitors from all over the world. For example, in 2012, it attracted nearly 25 million people in the Caribbean and surrounding areas, 5.4% higher than in 2011, and this number is expected to continue to increase each year. In view of the large number of water bodies around the world, it is necessary to renovate water bodies that are currently lacking in aesthetics and poor water quality in order to be able to use them safely in a safe manner. Therefore, it is desirable to modify the body of water or parts thereof to provide a body of water having the water quality and aesthetic qualities provided by the tropical ocean. The ability to transform such water bodies will fuel the economics of the local community and improve the way people live in most parts of the world by bringing an attractive tropical marine environment into existing water bodies that are not suitable for recreational purposes.

Some studies have been carried out in US lakes, reservoirs and ponds. For example, an assessment of more than 17 million acres of lakes, reservoirs and ponds found that more than 44% were weakened for one or more uses. These bodies of water were found to be affected by nutrients, metals, siltation, total dissolved solids, and excess algae growth along with other effects. It has been determined that more than 41% of lakes in the United States may have There is a high or moderate exposure to algal toxins, which may have a wide-ranging impact on human health. These studies have also found that more than 140,000 water bodies have the potential for recreational purposes, such as bathing or water sports directly in contact with water, if water quality and/or aesthetic conditions are more appropriate. Usually, due to poor water quality and/or inconsistency with the aesthetics of recreational or aesthetic water quality standards, such water bodies are not suitable for recreational purposes.

In addition, many existing water bodies, whether natural or artificial, have no aesthetic characteristics for tropical oceans due to physical hazards such as strong currents, dangerous coastlines, and/or uncertain or dangerous bottom features, for almost all safety reasons. Not suitable for recreational purposes and water sports. Bathers in these bodies of water or those who participate in water sports may be exposed to one or more hazards. For example, if a bather or a water sports participant is caught in a tide or other type of water flow or falls into a submerged obstacle, drowning may occur. Bathers or water sports participants may also be injured by slipping into or falling into rock or general types of debris; and/or by misjudgment and potential safety hazards to beach areas or other sloped shoreline areas.

In order to allow for recreational purposes, water bodies must generally meet certain stringent regulations to avoid microbial and/or physicochemical contamination that may have a negative impact on the health of recreational users. This is of particular importance to specific populations with high risk of disease, such as minors and the elderly. Again, the effects of algae should be considered, given that several human diseases have been reported that are associated with toxic species of algae found in water. Such regulations are designed to control the microbial bacteria and physicochemical qualities of water, thereby providing water for safe use in recreational applications involving direct contact with water.

There are also some water bodies whose water quality is suitable for recreational purposes, but because the bottom is covered by sediment, debris and/or sludge, the water body brings a dark and unpleasant coloring, making it not aesthetically appealing. Therefore, the requirements for the water quality of recreational use usually include Direct aesthetic requirements. These requirements usually stipulate that the water body should not contain floating debris, floating algae, oil, scum and other substances that may settle to form sediments, and that there are no substances that can produce offensive colors, odors, tastes or turbidity, and Contains substances that produce undesirable aquatic organisms. Regulations require that the water in the recreation area be clear enough to allow the user to estimate the depth, to easily see underwater hazards, and to detect underwater debris or physical hazards such as rocks and sloping bottoms. Generally, the amount of light at the bottom of the water body can be determined as a factor determining the clarity of the water. However, the penetration depth of natural or artificial water bodies is affected by suspended microscopic plants and animals, suspended mineral particles, imparting stains of color, oil and foam, and floating and suspended debris such as leaves, litter and the like.

Many parts of the world can benefit from large water bodies with suitable water quality and/or aesthetic conditions for recreational purposes and marine sports. However, for reasons of large size, such large water bodies cannot be processed using current technology or conventional pool filtration techniques, which would require new structures and a relatively high amount of chemicals and energy to process. In many cases, structural modifications of natural or artificial water bodies should also be performed to address aesthetic conditions, such as changing the bottom covered with sediment, debris and/or sludge, and dangerous conditions, for example, along with other requirements. A beach area with a safe slope. There is currently no economically viable technology that completely alters the water quality of large waters or large natural or artificial water bodies and/or provides attractive water coloring. These water bodies are already of good quality but have a lack of aesthetic characteristics that hinder them. Recreational use. Accordingly, there is a need for systems and methods that are capable of retrofitting natural or artificial water bodies to provide areas within the water body that have suitable water quality and/or aesthetic qualities for recreational use and marine sports.

U.S. Patent No. 4,087,870 discloses the inclusion of a flexible sheet, a buoyant edge portion, and The filter assembly is made up of a floating swimming pool on the wall. The floating swimming pool is designed for conventional pool handling and provides operational characteristics similar to permanent pool installations, such as the conventional centralized filtration system, which filters the entire amount of water and permanent chemical concentration of the floating pool from 1 to 6 times per day. Such a system would not be suitable for large floating lakes because it uses conventional pool water treatment and filtration technology, which is technically and economically not available for large floating lakes.

U.S. 2005/0198730 discloses a floating swimming pool installation. The main structural components of the device are constructed of waterproof glass fiber reinforced plastic, which is rigid, which results in a relatively high cost of the material and does not provide flexibility to cope with water movement and structures associated with large floating lakes. load. Moreover, such devices are very difficult to use on a large scale floating lake due to their structural limitations.

The size of the floating lake, including the depth and surface area of the floating lake, can vary based on needs and existing resources as well as surface area and other physical characteristics of the water body. The floating lake may have: a chemical application system; a filtration system including a mobile suction device and a filter; a skimmer system, and may also include a coordination system. The system and method of the present creation can be configured to provide significant cost savings due to lower capital costs, energy consumption, and chemical usage compared to conventional systems. This is due to the fact that the method of the present application is initiated based on the actual requirements of the water body through the evaluation of specific variables, and also because of the lower ORP standard required for conventional swimming pool processing, and because of the color based on the bottom of the floating lake. High efficiency filtration system.

System and method of the present creation

This creation is about the floating lake system and the methods used to treat and maintain the water quality in the floating lake.

This creation is about large floating lakes with clear water similar to tropical waters. Large floating lakes are usually installed in natural or artificial waters such as oceans, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, lagoons, dams, ponds, canals, seaports, estuaries. , streams, bays, river bays, or other bodies of water. While the present application presents embodiments as being "inside" a variety of water bodies, those skilled in the art will appreciate that embodiments can include an edge adjacent to a shoreline or beach.

The present application also relates to a method for treating large floating lakes in order to take advantage of water bodies with poor water quality and/or aesthetic characteristics worldwide, and to help improve the quality of life of people around the world. The floating lake of this application is suitable for recreational use, as well as for water sports under safe conditions, and has an unprecedented regional impact on the comfort of cities around the world. The floating lake of the present application produces aesthetic characteristics that are not economically produced under current technology, thereby having a major impact on the use of natural or artificial water bodies that were not previously considered useful.

The size of the floating lake, including the depth and surface area of the floating lake, can vary based on needs and existing resources as well as surface area and other physical characteristics of the water body, such as underwater obstacles, depth, etc., in which the floating lake is constructed. For example, in some embodiments, the float may have a surface area of at least lake or at least 5,000m ² 10,000m ^2, or at least of 20,000m ^2.

Embodiments of the treatment method relate to the treatment of providing a large floating lake installed in a natural or artificial water body. Such natural or artificial water bodies may have water quality that does not meet the hygienic and/or aesthetic requirements or more stringent requirements for recreational purposes. A specially designed floating lake system is provided which allows the application of this method of creation.

According to an embodiment, the floating lake can be installed in natural or artificial water. Figures 1 and 2 show an exemplary embodiment of a floating lake installed in a natural waterway. A floating lake may, for example, provide a recreational water feature for a municipality or a municipality of a certain region, and the municipality or a municipality of a certain region does not provide water quality and/or aesthetic conditions suitable for recreational use. Floating lakes can be installed to improve water conditions that are not suitable for recreational use due to chemical or biological contamination, safety concerns or aesthetic reasons.

The floating lake can be constructed to provide buoyancy and adapt to changes in the water level of the surrounding water. For example, a floating lake system can be designed to float as the water level of the surrounding water body changes. In such cases, when the water level of the surrounding water body is reduced (eg, at low tide), the entire floating lake system can be lowered along with the surface of the natural water body. On the other hand, when the water level of the surrounding water body rises, the floating lake can rise with it. This is because the floating system of the floating lake system provides buoyancy for the floating lake and enables the surface of the floating lake to maintain the same or similar level as the surface of the surrounding water body. In an alternate embodiment, at low water levels, at least some portion of the bottom of the floating lake may be in contact with the bottom of the surrounding water body, or may be in contact with the bottom at all times.

Changes in water level and water movement in the floating lake and surrounding water bodies due to tides, currents, and natural waves caused by wind and other phenomena can cause pressure changes or loads at the bottom of the floating lake. The structural stability of the floating lake can be considered in designing the structure, for example, to cope with the load generated when the structure is vertically mounted at a position relative to the bottom of the surrounding water body. The structure can be designed to cope with such loads by providing a flexible but stable bottom that can oscillate or move depending on the motion of the surrounding water body. Again, the structure may include an anchoring system that provides vertical and/or horizontal support to the floating lake system to cope with underwater forces.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the floating lake 1 can comprise a flexible bottom 2 and a wall 3. The bottom 2 and wall 3 may comprise a liner 200 constructed of a non-permeable material capable of maintaining the water within the floating lake and substantially separating the water within the floating lake from surrounding artificial or natural bodies of water. Examples of suitable materials include, but are not limited to, rubber, plastic, Teflon, low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate. Ester, fiber, fiberboard, wood, polyamide, PVC film, fabric, composite fabric, low gas permeability, acrylic, and the like, and combinations thereof. The liner 202 in the bottom 2 can be joined to the liner 203 of the wall 3. In an alternate embodiment, the liner 202 of the bottom 2 is constructed of a material different from the liner 203 of the wall portion 3.

According to an embodiment, the bottom 2 and/or the wall 3 comprise a plurality of layers, wherein the layers may be the same or different materials and may differ in their permeability. Additional layers are available to help prevent water from leaking from the floating lake into the surrounding water. In order to reduce the loss of water from the floating lake to the surrounding water, a collection or drainage system can be provided between the different layers of the bottom. Also, various configurations can be used to provide a particular level or rigidity to the bottom and/or wall of the floating lake. The bottom 2 has a certain amount of flexibility to better resist puncture, breakage and other damage to the floating lake 1.

The Young's modulus or modulus of elasticity of the material is a measure of the elasticity of the material. Higher numbers indicate more aggressive materials and lower numbers indicate more elastic materials. To provide a flexible bottom, the Young's modulus of the material or component used in the bottom 2 is typically no greater than about 100 GPa, about 50 GPa, about 20 GPa, or about 15 GPa or 10 GPa, thereby providing flexibility to the bottom component and returning to it. The natural state, rather than significant deformation or breakage due to the load applied to the material by the surrounding water, the water in the floating lake, or the pressure from, for example, the action of the suction device.

According to an embodiment, the liner 200 is made of a flexible component having a Young's modulus of up to about 20 GPa. In one embodiment, the liner 200 is made of a flexible component having a Young's modulus of up to about 10 GPa. In another embodiment, the liner 200 is made of a flexible component having a Young's modulus of from about 0.01 to about 20 GPa. In another embodiment, the liner 200 is made of a flexible component having a Young's modulus of from about 0.01 to about 15 GPa. In yet another embodiment, the liner 200 has a Young's modulus of about 0.01. Made of a flexible component of about 10 GPa. Different portions of the liner 200 (eg, the bottom liner 202 or the wall liner 203) can be constructed from different components.

The flexible bottom 2 provides a number of benefits to the floating lake 1. For example, the flexible bottom 2 provides a low cost option for the floating lake structure, can withstand pressure without being pierced or damaged, is easy to install, and can accommodate water movement inside and outside the floating lake. On the other hand, a completely rigid bottom is very expensive, difficult to install, and easily damaged by a large load generated by the surrounding water body. By using a completely rigid bottom, the load generated by the surrounding water may cause the material to become loose, the structure is destroyed, and the water contained in the floating lake is contaminated and mixed with the surrounding water, so that the required water quality for recreational use cannot be achieved. / or aesthetic status.

The bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 may contain one or more materials and configurations. In an embodiment, the floating lake 1 may have a bottom 2 configured in one or more layers. As shown in Figures 4A-4C, the bottom 2 can have a layered structure. In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 4A, the layered structure of the bottom 2 can comprise a single layer. In another embodiment, shown in Figure 4B, the layered structure of the bottom 2 can comprise two layers. In yet another embodiment, illustrated in Figure 4C, the layered structure of the bottom 2 can comprise multiple layers.

Different layers can be combined to provide different characteristics to the bottom 2, such as durability, impermeability, stability and stiffness and/or flexibility. In an embodiment, the bottom 2 and the wall 3 are constructed of the same or similar materials. Alternatively, the bottom 2 may be constructed of a material other than the wall portion 3, or may have a different layered structure. The Young's modulus of the bottom material is used to refer to the bottom as a whole, which may comprise one or more different materials in different configurations.

According to an embodiment, the bottom 2 comprises components or materials such as rubber, plastic, Teflon, low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polypairs Ethylene phthalate, fiber, fiberboard, wood, polyamide, PVC film, fabric, acrylic, etc., and combinations thereof, capable of providing a high total Young's modulus Flexible bottom of up to 20GPa. In many embodiments, each of the layers of the bottom 2 independently has a Young's modulus of at most 20 GPa.

In an exemplary embodiment, the bottom portion 2 and the wall portion 3 comprise a fabric layer, such as a composite fabric, such as a Hipora® waterproof fabric, which is comprised of a nylon fabric that is infused with polyurethane and has non-permeable properties. The fabric can be sewn and sealed to create the bottom 2 and wall 3 of the floating lake 1 to create water that can retain water in the floating lake 1, substantially separate from the surrounding water, and protect the water of the floating lake from penetration into the surrounding water. structure.

In another exemplary embodiment, the bottom 2 and wall 3 comprise a layer of linear low density polyethylene ("LLDPE"). For example, the bottom portion 2 and the wall portion 3 may comprise an LLDPE low gas permeable barrier that is thermally fused, welded or glued together with a sealant suitable for long-term contact with water. In another exemplary embodiment, the bottom 2 and wall 3 comprise a layer of high strength PVC material. Other suitable materials include geotextiles, PVC materials, elastomeric materials or polymeric sprays or multilayer asphalt composites. The thickness of the liner can be any suitable thickness for the purpose and can be adjusted to suit the requirements of the floating lake 1, such as durability, puncture resistance, stability, and stiffness/flexibility. The thickness of the liner can be, for example, about 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm, 1 mm or more. In a layered structure such as the multilayer structure of Figure 4C, the liner can be included as a layer. A suitable sealant for joining the segments of the bottom 2 to each other or to the wall 2 is a butyl tape which is a waterproof, self-adhesive, flexible and flexible adhesive sealing tape that can be adhered to the plastic. Waterproofing materials and sealing techniques, such as heat fusion, welding or gluing, also allow for the creation of structures that substantially separate the water in the floating lake 1 from the surrounding water.

The bottom may also include one or more structural frames. These structural frames can be constructed to accommodate the modular configuration of the floating lake system. As can be seen in Figure 10A, the floating lake 1 can comprise one or more structural frames 15 at the bottom of the floating lake 1. These structural frames can be constructed to be positioned Below or above the layered structure of the bottom 2, or between layers. However, the structural frames are preferably positioned below the bottom to provide structure without affecting the impermeability of the floating lake. The structural frames 15 can be joined together based on the configuration of the shape of the bottom of the floating lake 1 to provide additional stability to the bottom. In Fig. 10B, an embodiment of a floating lake 1 is shown comprising a bottom 2 having a structural frame 15, a wall 3, and a floating system 5. In at least some embodiments, the structural frame 15 can also be provided in the wall portion 3 of the floating lake 1 to provide more stability and maintain the shape of the floating lake 1. The structural frame 15 can be coupled to the rim 4 and/or the suspension system 5.

The structural frame 15 can be constructed from a rigid or flexible material. Since the structural frame will typically be underwater, the materials can be selected to suit the underwater condition. The rigid frame, the pipe or the profile used to create the rigid structural frame can be constructed from any suitable material. Examples of rigid materials include metals such as steel or aluminum, plastics, wood and concrete, and other materials. A flexible frame, pipe, hose or profile for creating a rigid structural frame may be constructed of any material suitable for constructing a flexible frame. Examples of flexible materials include plastics, rubber, fabrics, and nylon, as well as other materials.

The structural frame 15 can be constructed from frame assemblies 150 that can be joined together by the use of connectors 151. Connector 151 and connector material may be selected based on the design configuration and materials of frame assembly 150. The frame connector 151 can comprise a flexible or rigid material. A suitable frame connector 151 includes a ring, a mechanical connection system such as a fusion, a plate, a screw, a rope, and the like. The connector 151 can be further used to connect the frame assembly 150 to the rest of the structure of the floating lake 1.

According to an embodiment, the wall portion 3 may additionally comprise an edge 4, as shown in Figures 3 and 5 to 7. The edge 4 can include a structural frame assembly 150 and can be at least partially covered by the liner 200. The edge 4 of the floating lake 1 may comprise a floating system 5 (shown in Figures 3 and 5 to 7). Floating system 5 provides Buoyancy, and allows to maintain a positive pressure level in the floating lake 1 in the floating lake 1. The floating system 5 can also provide stability to the periphery of the floating lake 1 and can help the floating lake 1 maintain its surface shape. The suspension system 5 may include a plurality of floating elements distributed along the periphery of the floating lake 1, or a continuous floating element surrounding the periphery of the floating lake 1. The suspension system 5 can be attached to the liner 200 and/or can be at least partially covered by the liner 200, as shown in Figures 5-7. The suspension system 5 can be further attached to the structural frame 15.

The floating system 5 along the edge 4 or wall 3 of the floating lake 1 may comprise different floating materials and equipment, such as a polyurethane system; polystyrene systems, such as extruded polystyrene and expanded beads of polystyrene ; polyethylene systems; aeration systems, such as air chambers, rubber air bags, or vinyl air bags; and systems constructed from other suitable materials, such as plastic, foam, rubber, vinyl, resin, concrete, aluminum, and Types of wood and so on. Examples of commercially available floating materials are Royalex® (including outer vinyl and hard acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and inner ABS foam, Styrofoam and high performance, extruded, closed cell polyethylene foam (such as Ethafoam ^TM) of composite material).

The size and type of the floating element can be determined based on the volume of the floating lake 1 and the amount of water disposed in the floating lake 1 and the buoyancy desired to be provided by the floating element. For example, the levitation system 5 can be sized to provide sufficient buoyancy to the floating lake 1 such that the floating lake 1 remains floating (ie, not in contact with the bottom of the surrounding water body), even under high internal pressure conditions. . Alternatively, the depth of the floating system 5 and the floating lake 1 can be designed such that at least some portion of the bottom of the floating lake 1 is in contact with the bottom of the surrounding water body.

In an embodiment, additional features may be added to the floating lake 1. For example, the edge 4 of the floating lake 1 can be constructed to include beaches, walkways, walkways, pedestrian promenades, pontoons, handrails, sloping entry systems, and/or several other comfort facilities. Additional features may also be attached to the outer perimeter or inner perimeter of the floating lake 1, such as a floating dock, which may be modular or fixed. Set, floating platform, pontoon, etc.

The floating lake 1 can be anchored or fixed in place in the surrounding water body. For example, the floating lake 1 can be anchored to the bottom of the surrounding water body and/or can be fixed or attached to the shore of the surrounding water body. The floating lake 1 may include a plurality of anchor points 210 that may be tied by tethers 220 to corresponding anchor points or anchors on the bottom or along the shore of the surrounding body of water, as shown in FIG. The number and location of anchor points 210 can be configured based on the size of the floating lake 1 and the size and condition of the surrounding water body (eg, typical weather conditions, tides, and currents). The anchor point 210 can be reinforced and can comprise any suitable material, such as plastic, metal, concrete, and combinations thereof. According to an embodiment, the tether 220 connecting the floating lake 1 to the anchor may be adjustable and/or extendable. This will allow for increased flexibility as needed. For example, if an increase in water flow or wave is observed in the surrounding water body, the length of the tether can be manually or automatically increased (or reduced) to prevent the resultant force from stressing the material of the floating lake.

In an embodiment, the floating lake 1 is designed and configured to be attached to the land along a section of the edge 4 of the floating lake 1. As can be seen in Figure 9A, the floating lake 1 can be anchored to the land directly or by the deck system 10, which provides a suitable and safe access for people from the land to the floating lake system. In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 9B, the floating lake 1 is separated from the land and located off the shore of the surrounding water body. The floating lake 1 can be connected to the land by a deck/bridge system 11 which provides a suitable and safe access for people from land to floating lake systems. In another embodiment, the floating lake system is not connected to the land but can be accessed by natural or artificial surrounding water bodies.

According to an embodiment, a positive pressure is provided in the floating lake 1. The positive pressure inside the floating lake can be used to ensure that the water contained in the floating lake 1 is not contaminated by the surrounding water in the case of the bottom 2 or the wall portion 3 being pierced or damaged, and helps to maintain the shape of the floating lake 1. The positive pressure inside the lake will allow water from the floating lake 1 to enter the surrounding water body, and thus the water in the floating lake 1 will not be contaminated. In order to maintain a positive pressure in the case where the bottom 2 or the wall portion 3 of the floating lake 1 is damaged, the positive pressure inside the floating lake 1 can be maintained. The rate of force adds water to the floating lake 1.

According to an embodiment, the positive pressure can be maintained in the floating lake 1 by maintaining the surface 6 of the water in the floating lake 1 above the water level 100 of the surrounding water body, that is, by filling the floating lake 1 with a slight excess. In the absence of such excessive filling, the floating lake 1 will assume its normal shape and volume. However, since the wall portion 3 and the bottom portion 2 of the floating lake 1 are constructed of a flexible material, when the floating lake 1 is excessively filled, the materials will be bent due to the weight of the water. The bending of the material causes the actual water level in the floating lake 1 to become similar to or equal to the water level of the surrounding water while still maintaining the required positive pressure.

Although the water level in practice will be roughly equal to the water level of the surrounding water, the theoretical increase in water level can be used to calculate the extra volume required for the water to produce the required positive pressure. For example, if the water level in the floating lake is desired to be 2 mm higher than the water level of the surrounding water, the water level volume can be calculated by multiplying the water surface by the height above the water level. However, in practice, due to the flexibility of the wall portion 3 of the floating lake 1, that is, the structure that separates the volume of the floating lake from the surrounding water, when the level of the level is increased, the wall portion 3 of the floating lake 1 expands. And the actual water level in the floating lake becomes similar or equal to the level of the surrounding water.

In a preferred embodiment, the positive pressure on the inner surface of the floating lake should be at least about 20 Newtons per square meter (N/m ² ) to prevent water from entering the floating water from the surrounding water in the event of puncture or other damage. Lake 1. In other embodiments, a positive pressure is at least about 10N / m ^2, about 15N / m ^2, about 18N / m ^2, about 25N / m ^2, or about 30N / m ^2. A positive pressure of at least 20 N/m ² is equivalent to maintaining the surface 6 of the water in the floating lake at least about 2 mm above the surface 100 of the surrounding water, thereby producing a volume of water above the surrounding water level. As discussed, the increase in water level is theoretical, and in fact, the wall portion 3 and the bottom portion 2 of the floating lake 1 are flexed to accommodate the additional water volume, and the water levels of the floating lake 1 and the surrounding water bodies become substantially equal. Thus, such positive pressures may also be based on an additional volume of water that exceeds the initial water volume of the floating lake 1 in its natural (non-flexing) state.

The positive pressure within the floating lake 1 can be maintained by pumping the water needed to maintain the required pressure by the pumping system in the lake. For example, the positive pressure can be maintained by pumping water for a period of not less than 50% of the time within the 7 day period. Preferably, the positive pressure in the floating lake is continuously maintained. The higher internal pressure in the floating lake 1 is offset by the buoyancy provided by the floating system 5. According to an embodiment, the size of the buoyancy system 5 and the buoyancy provided by the floating material is configured to correspond to a load applied by the additional water volume and the positive pressure caused by the user and equipment on or around the floating lake 1. The size and shape of the floating system 5 can be adjusted (by adding or removing buoyancy material) to change its buoyancy to account for the resulting load.

According to an embodiment, the floating lake 1 may comprise a coordination system, wherein the coordination system may receive information about water quality and physicochemical parameters, process information, and initiate procedures for maintaining water quality parameters and other physicochemical parameters within predetermined limits . The floating lake may include a coordination system for maintaining water quality and other physicochemical parameters within the floating lake within a predetermined range. The coordination system allows the operation of different programs to be initiated, which can be done automatically using the coordination assembly and control unit receiving the information, or by manually entering and/or processing information.

In an alternative embodiment, the coordination system includes a plurality of sensors disposed in and around the floating lake. Information from the sensor can be manually or automatically entered into the computer that processes the information. The coordination component can simply provide instructions that are executed by the person or can automatically direct the correct action.

According to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the coordination system includes a coordination assembly 20 that is capable of obtaining and/or receiving information (from, for example, sensors disposed in and around the floating lake 1 and surrounding water), processing information, And launching the program based on the received information (by providing instructions or by automatically initiating such a program). The coordination assembly 20 can include a control unit 22, such as a computer, and at least one monitoring device 24, such as a sensor. The sensor can be an oxidation-reduction potential ("ORP") Meter, turbidity meter, or other device used to measure water quality parameters. According to other embodiments, the coordination assembly 20 may include two or more than two monitoring devices 24. Coordination assembly 20 may also include additional monitoring devices 24 for monitoring other water quality parameters such as pH, alkalinity, hardness (calcium), chlorine, and microbial growth, among others.

According to an alternative embodiment, the coordination system may be replaced by one or more persons to manually obtain and/or input and/or process information, or to initiate and/or execute procedures for maintaining water quality parameters and/or other physicochemical parameters. Such procedures may include the addition of water treatment chemicals and/or manipulation of action suction devices and the like.

According to an embodiment, the coordination system may comprise an automation system. The automated system can be programmed to monitor water quality parameters and/or physicochemical parameters continuously or at predetermined time intervals and to activate one or more systems. For example, the automated system can initiate the addition of chemicals for treating water upon detection of a predetermined value override. According to an alternative embodiment, the coordination system includes manual control of the addition of processing chemicals based on empirical or visual decisions of the water quality parameters.

The floating lake 1 may contain a system for adding treatment chemicals to the water. According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the system for adding processing chemicals comprises a chemical application system 30. The chemical application system 30 can be automated and can be controlled by the control unit 22 of the coordination assembly 20.

According to an alternative embodiment shown in Figure 6, the chemical application system 30 can be manually operated or activated based on water quality parameters. For example, water quality parameters can be obtained manually, obtained by experience or analytical methods such as algorithms, based on experience, visual inspection, or obtained using sensors, and information about water quality parameters can be entered manually or by input. Processing to a processing device (eg, a computer). Based on information regarding the water quality parameters, the operation of the chemical application system 30 can be initiated manually, such as by activating a switch.

The chemical application system 30 can operate in the field or via a remote connection (eg, via the internet), where information is sent to the central processing unit and can be accessed via a remote connection, allowing the chemical application system to be activated 30 operations.

The chemical application system 30 can include at least one chemical reservoir, a pump for compounding chemicals, and a dispensing device. The chemical application system 30 can include a plurality of chemical reservoirs to accommodate separate processing chemicals, such as oxidizing agents, coagulants, and the like. The pump can be actuated by a signal from the control unit 22 or manually by activating the switch at the field or remotely. The dispensing device can comprise any suitable dispensing mechanism, such as a syringe, sprinkler, dispenser, tubing, or a combination thereof.

Figure 7 shows an alternate embodiment in which the chemical can be manually dosed into water or formulated into water by using a separate chemical application mechanism. For example, water quality parameters can be obtained manually, visually, or by using a sensor, and information regarding water quality parameters can be processed manually or by input to a processing device (eg, a computer). Based on information about water quality parameters, chemicals can be added to the water manually.

The bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 can be cleaned using a mobile suction device 42 that can move along the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 to remove settled particles from the bottom 2. The bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 can be intermittently cleaned to provide attractive coloring of the body of water and to prevent buildup of debris and debris on the bottom 2. Typically, the Action Suction 42 device is capable of cleaning a flexible bottom 2 having a Young's modulus of up to 20 GPa.

The floating lake 1 also typically includes a filtration system 40. According to an embodiment, filtering only a portion of the water in the floating lake is sufficient to maintain the water quality within the desired water quality and physicochemical parameters. As seen in Figures 5-7, the filtration system 40 includes at least one mobile suction device 42 and an associated filtration system 44. The action suction device 42 is configured to draw a portion of water from the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 containing debris, particulates, solids, floes, flocculated material and/or other impurities deposited on the bottom 2. in This part of the volume of the pumped and filtered water in the floating lake provides the required water quality without the need to use a filtration system to filter the entire volume of water in the floating lake. This is in contrast to conventional pool filtration technology which requires filtering the entire water volume from 1 to 6 per day. The second contrast.

According to an embodiment, the action suction device 42 is movable along the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1. However, in order to maximize the removal efficiency of debris, particulates, solids, floes, flocculation materials and/or other impurities that have settled on the bottom 2, the action suction device 42 can be configured such that it moves against the sinking material Produces minimal dispersion. In an embodiment, the mobile suction device 42 is configured to not include components such as rotating brushes that can be used to redistribute a significant portion of the settling material from the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 during operation of the suction device.

Activation of the operation of the mobile suction device 42 may be controlled by a coordination system including the control unit 22 or manually by an operator. According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the operation of actuating the action suction device 42 is controlled by the control unit 22. 6 and 7 show an alternate embodiment in which the mobile suction device 42 is manually activated, for example, by activating a switch or transmitting a start message.

The mobile suction device 42 can include a pump, or a separate pump or pumping station can be provided to draw water and deliver the pumped water to the filtration system 44. A separate pump or pumping station can be located in the floating lake 1, along the periphery of the floating lake 1, or outside the floating lake 1, for example, on the shore of the surrounding water body.

The mobile suction device 42 is in fluid communication with the filtration system 44. Filtration system 44 typically includes one or more filters, such as a cartridge filter, a sand filter, a microfilter, an ultrafilter, a nanofilter, or a combination thereof. The mobile suction device 42 is typically coupled to the filtration system 44 by a collection line 43 that includes a flexible hose, a rigid hose, a conduit, and the like. The filtration system 44 can be along the perimeter of the floating lake 1, on a floating facility, or along the shoreline of the surrounding water body. The capacity of the filtration system 44 is typically scaled according to the capacity of the mobile suction device 42. Filtration system 44 filters the water flow from the mobile suction device, corresponding to a small portion of the volume of water in the floating lake. Filtration system 44 filtered water Return to the floating lake by return line 60 containing a flexible hose, rigid hose, tubing, open channels, and the like. The location of the return water can be optimized to minimize the cost of pumping water.

The filtration system 44 of the present application can be configured to have a filtration capacity of about 1/10 of a conventional system, or a conventional system, as compared to a conventional filtration system having a capacity of the entire body of water in the filtration tank from 1 to 6 times per day. It is about 1/30, or about 1/60 of the conventional system, or about 1/100 of the conventional system, or about 1/300 of the conventional system. The translation into daily filtration capacity is about 1:10 of the volume of the floating lake, or about 1:25, about 1:50, about 1:75, about 1:100, about 1:200, or about 1:300. . The energy consumption of the filtration system is roughly proportional to the size, and therefore, lower energy consumption can expect significant cost savings, and the filtration process requires smaller equipment.

In an embodiment, the mobile suction device 42 can include a magnetic system that is adapted to clean the flexible bottom under water. Improved cleaning of a floating lake with a flexible bottom can be achieved using a mobile suction device that can be attached to the bottom material with a relatively magnetic component. As shown in FIG. 8, the mobile magnetic suction device 420 having a magnetic system includes an internal component 430 and an external component 435. The inner component 430 is placed inside the floating lake 1 on the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1, in contact with the water of the floating lake 1. The inner component 430 can include at least a suction device 431. The outer component 435 is placed outside the floating lake 1 in contact with the surrounding water.

The magnetic system can include two or more magnetic components (432, 436) that can attract each other. The magnetic components 432, 436 can have a relative magnetic field, or at least one of the magnetic components can have a magnetic field, and the one or more magnetic components are ferromagnetic (ie, attracted by a magnetic field). The inner component 430 of the mobile suction device 420 includes a suction device 431 including a first magnetic component 432. An inner component 430 having a first magnetic component 432 is placed along the inner surface of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1. The outer component 435 includes a second magnetic component 436 that is placed on the outer surface of the bottom 2 and in contact with the surrounding water. The first and second magnetic components 432, 436 are in corresponding positions along the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 The alignment is such that the magnetic attraction maintains the alignment of the first and second magnetic components 432, 436. The magnetic system is thus able to maintain the mobile suction device 420 along the flexible bottom 2 of the floating lake 1. The inner and outer components 430, 435 of the mobile suction device 420 can include a brush, roller, track, tire, or other mechanism to advance the mobile magnetic suction device 420 along the bottom 2.

In one embodiment, the inner component 430 is advanced along the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 and due to the interaction between the first and second magnetic components 432, 436, the outer component 435 is dragged forward such that it remains adjacent to Internal component 430. In an alternate embodiment, instead of the inner component 430 pulling the outer component 435, the outer component 435 advances along the outer surface of the bottom 2 and pulls the inner component 430 and the suction device 431 with it. This may be accomplished, for example, by providing a propulsion system to the outer surface of the bottom 2, which may include a track, a tire, or another configuration that allows the outer component 435 to crawl along the outer surface of the bottom 2. Providing a propulsion system along the outer surface of the bottom 2 will allow the use of a cheaper and lighter internal component 430.

In another embodiment, the mobile suction device 42 includes a flexible mobile suction member that moves through the bottom of the floating lake, wherein the floating lake 1 provides a stable bottom that moves the mobile suction device through. The flexible action suction member can be adapted to a flexible, stable bottom for thorough cleaning.

In yet another embodiment, the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 comprises a layered structure. As can be seen in Figures 11A and 11B, in an exemplary embodiment, the layered structure comprises a layered material, such as a mat-type material filled with air, water, or another liquid between the layers, as an additional pad 16 Where water or air is between the water inside the floating lake and the surrounding water. This pad 16 can provide stability to the bottom 2 and allows for more efficient operation of, for example, a suction device. The pad can also be filled with an expandable foam material.

In another embodiment, the liner includes a series of inflatable segments within the liner 17, it is distributed along the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1. As shown in Figure 12A, the inflatable section 17 is attached to the bottom and can be inflated such that the inflatable section 17 expands from the bottom 2 up (Figure 12B) or down (Figure 12C) depending on the inflatable section 17 configuration and manufacturing. It is recommended that the inflatable section 17 be configured on the outside of the bottom (as shown in Figure 12C) on the side of the surrounding water body to avoid affecting the flat bottom of the floating lake.

The inflatable section 17 can take a variety of forms. In one embodiment, the segments are substantially rectangular, covering the entire surface area of the liner 200 and separating it into individual segments. However, in other embodiments, the inflatable section 17 has other shapes, such as a triangle or a pentagon, as necessary to effectively support the operation of the suction device 42 and counteract external forces. The inflatable section 17 can also take the form of a conduit to form a perimeter of various shapes, thereby reducing the surface area that needs to be inflated. Inflation of the various sections can be accomplished in any conventional manner, for example, by providing an integrated inflation conduit to the liner 200 that is permanently or as desired to be coupled to one or more pumps. Although in most embodiments the inflatable section 17 is filled with air, a more pure gas or other fluid may be used, such as water or a fluid having a lower density than the surrounding water. Also, some of the plurality of inflatable sections 17 may be filled with a liquid or gas while the other inflatable section 17 is filled with another liquid or gas, or the inflatable section 17 may be filled with a liquid And a mixture of gases (eg, water and air) to achieve different buoyancy within the sections.

These inflatable sections 17 can be permanently inflated or selectively inflated during installation as needed. For example, the inflatable section 17 can be inflated permanently or selectively to cause the bottom to become sufficiently stable to support the weight and movement of the suction device 42. Selective inflatable segments may be used when certain forces are expected, such as storms or large ships causing increased wind or waves.

The liner with the inflatable section 17 can also be incorporated into a larger structure. The larger structure may be a thicker liner 200 in which the inflatable section 17 includes an additional layer of liner 200. Other layer They may or may not have their own inflatable section 17. If the other layers have inflatable segments 17, such segments can be aligned with the respective additional inflatable segments 17. Again, to allow tension to be provided to the bottom material and the attachment anchoring system, the bottom liner 202 can be attached to a rigid structure (eg, structural frame 15).

The floating lake 1 may also include a skimming system 50. The skimming system 50 can be used to separate floating debris and oil as well as grease from water. As shown in FIGS. 5-7, the skimming system 50 can include a skimmer 52 that skips the surface water of the floating lake 1 in fluid communication with the separation system 54. The skimmer 52 is typically connected to the separation system 54 by a connecting line 53 comprising a flexible hose, a rigid hose, a conduit, an open channel, and the like. Because of the different nature and quality of impurities in the water (eg, oil, grease, and floating debris) compared to the impurities in the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1, the water being skimmed usually does not need to be filtered. Thus, according to an embodiment, the separation system 54 can include a degreaser (eg, an overcurrent device) for separating oil and grease from water, and a screen or coarse filter for separating debris. Water from the separation system 54 can be returned to the floating lake 1 via the return line 60. Return line 60 may be the same or may be separate from the return line of filtration system 40. According to an embodiment, the skimming system 50 includes a plurality of skimmers 52 that are dispersible along the periphery of the floating lake 1. Figure 5 shows a skimmer 52 and a second skimmer 52 shown in phantom to indicate a plurality of skimmers. The operation of the skimming system 50 is preferably continuous or, alternatively, intermittent. The operation of the skimming system 50 can be controlled by the control unit 22 (Fig. 5) or manually (Fig. 6).

Floating lake operation

Currently, floating swimming pools are very rare, and the floating pools on the market are small in size and operate in a conventional swimming pool mode. Typically, conventional floating swimming pools are built and operated according to swimming pool standards, requiring high and permanent levels of chemicals and filtering all of the water 1 to 6 times a day. Will Knowing that swimming pool technology is applied to the floating lake of this creation will bring two major problems: (1) the application of swimming pool technology to large water bodies leads to high costs due to the high frequency of use of chemicals and the use of conventional centralized filtration systems. Filter all water bodies 6 times; and (2) dangers that may occur if the bottom of the floating lake or the wall is damaged. Different techniques and maintenance methods must be used to maintain the hygienic standard of large floating lakes, as water with high chemical content may be released into the surrounding water body when using conventional swimming pool technology, which is detrimental to aquatic organisms and marine or freshwater environments. influences. Therefore, the use of conventional swimming pool technology should be avoided to save energy and protect the ecosystem of the surrounding water.

According to an embodiment, the water quality and physicochemical conditions in the floating lake 1 are maintained by a process comprising: adding a treatment chemical, and removing debris, particulates, solids, floes, flocculation materials, and/or Other impurities from the bottom of the floating lake according to water quality parameters and/or physicochemical conditions. Water quality can be obtained in the floating lake 1, for example, for specific parameters such as oxidation reduction potential ("ORP"), turbidity, pH, alkalinity, hardness (calcium), chlorine, microbial growth, and the like. The chemical application system can be initiated periodically by the coordination system to maintain the water quality parameters within set limits. Such systems can be activated based on actual needs, resulting in the application of smaller amounts of chemicals and less energy than existing pool water treatment methods.

In an embodiment, the water quality parameters can be obtained manually, for example by visual inspection, by using a water quality meter (eg, a probe such as a pH probe, a turbidity meter, a colorimeter or an ORP meter), or by obtaining Samples and analytical methods are used to measure water quality. Information about water quality parameters can be obtained by the coordination system or input to the coordination system. In an embodiment, the automated coordination system can be programmed to monitor water quality parameters continuously or at predetermined time intervals, compare results with predetermined parameters, and initiate one or more systems when the parameters have been exceeded. For example, the automated system can initiate the processing of a chemical addition or filtration system upon detection of a predetermined parameter override. In a In an alternate embodiment, the water quality parameters can be obtained manually and the information entered into the coordination system, or the results can be compared to predetermined values, and the addition of processing chemicals can be initiated manually. The treatment chemicals used to maintain the water quality of the floating lake may comprise any suitable water treatment chemicals. For example, the treatment chemistry can comprise an oxidizing agent, a coagulant, a coagulant, an algaecide, a sterilizing agent, or a pH adjusting agent. According to a preferred embodiment, the treatment chemistry comprises an oxidizing agent and a coagulant.

Water quality parameters can be obtained continuously, or at specific time intervals, depending on the requirements of the floating lake. In one embodiment, the ORP of water (or another water quality parameter) is determined by a monitoring device 24 such as a sensor (system of Figure 5), or by empirical or analytical methods, such as an empirical based algorithm, or visual Inspection (system of Figures 6 and 7).

The ORP of the water in the floating lake is maintained at a minimum ORP for a minimum period of 52 hours to provide water with the required water quality. The oxidant is applied to the water of the floating lake to maintain the ORP for a minimum period of time within a 52 hour cycle (eg, a treatment cycle) for a maximum of 52 hours. In an embodiment, the ORP level is maintained at about 550 mV or higher. Such a minimum ORP level is much lower than the ORP level normally maintained in the pool to achieve adequate disinfection. The ORP treatment time within the 52 hour cycle can be continuous, periodic, intermittent, or discontinuous. In an embodiment, the minimum period of time is from about 10 to about 20 hours over a 52 hour cycle. Although it is possible to continuously maintain a minimum ORP level, that is, 24 hours/day, the ORP level may also be maintained only during a certain time period, for example, a minimum time period, twice the minimum time period, or separated by 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 hours, during which the ORP level is not maintained. The oxidizing agent may be selected from the group consisting of a halogen-based compound, a permanganate, a peroxide, ozone, sodium persulfate, potassium persulfate, an oxidizing agent produced by an electrolytic method, or a combination thereof. The amount of oxidant added to the water ("effective amount") can be predetermined, or can be determined based on the measurement of the ORP and the desired increase in ORP, for example, by the control device 22 shown in Figure 5 or manually.

In order to maintain the water quality of the floating lake 1, the turbidity of the water can also be monitored. Coagulants and/or coagulants may be added to agglomerate, agglomerate, coalesce and/or coagulate suspended solids, organics, inorganics, bacteria, algae, etc. into granules which then settle to the bottom of the floating lake. For example, a coagulant can be added to the water to induce suspended solid floes to cause turbidity, such as organic and inorganic floes, and thus may be helpful in the process of sinking such particles, where they can be removed by a mobile suction device . Typically, the coagulant or coagulant is applied or dispersed into the water by a chemical application system. Suitable coagulants or accelerators include, but are not limited to, synthetic polymers such as quaternary ammonium containing polymers and polycationic polymers (eg, polyquaternium), cationic and anionic polymers, aluminum salts, aluminum sulphate, alum, Aluminum sulfate, calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, ferrous sulfate, ferric chloride, polyacrylamide, sodium aluminate, sodium citrate, chitosan, gelatin, guar gum, alginate, Moringa seed, starch a derivative, or other component having the properties of a coagulant, and combinations thereof.

In one embodiment, the addition of the coagulant is initiated prior to the turbidity of the water exceeding a predetermined value, such as 2 NTU (turbidity units), 3 NTU, 4 NTU, or 5 NTU. The coordination system can be used to initiate the addition of coagulants and/or coagulants prior to the turbidity of the water exceeding a predetermined value to cause the organic and inorganic floes to sink. Part of the water collected or settled by the floes is typically the water layer along the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1. The floes settle on the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 and can then be removed by the action suction device 42 without requiring all of the water in the floating lake 1 to be filtered, for example, only a small portion is filtered. The "small portion" of filtered water can be less than about 30%, less than about 25%, less than about 20%, less than about 15%, less than about 10%, less than about 9%, less than about 8%, less than about 7%. Less than about 6%, less than about 5%, less than about 4%, less than about 3%, less than about 2%, less than about 1%, less than about 0.9%, less than about 0.8%, less than about 0.7%, less than about 0.6. % or less than about 0.5% of the total volume of water in the floating lake per day. The amount of coagulant added to the water may be predetermined or may be determined based on the turbidity of the water and the desired turbidity reduction in the water (eg, by the controller of Figure 5) Piece 22 or manually). The water treatment chemistry may preferably also have an algicidal property.

a water treatment chemical that may contaminate and harm the surrounding water body in the event that the bottom or wall of the floating structure is damaged, or if the water in the floating lake is transferred to the surrounding water body for any other reason, Ingredients such as oxidizing agents and coagulants can be remembered.

The sedimentation of particulates, solids, floccules, flocculated materials and/or other impurities to the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 may result in a change in the appearance of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1. For example, sedimentation of impurities can make the color of the bottom 2 appear darker than the original color. The method according to the color of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 is monitored, and when the color changes to a predetermined amount, the suction of water and impurities from the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 is started. The measured or perceived color obtainable by an empirical or analytical method such as an algorithm based on experience, visual inspection, automated equipment, etc., can be compared to a predetermined value such as a color component (such as black) from which the actual color of the bottom 2 is increased.

Those skilled in the art should understand that in the context of the color of the bottom 2, the term "bottom" refers to the surface of the uppermost layer of the bottom 2, which is visible from above the bottom 2.

In an exemplary embodiment, the color of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 can be monitored to take a change in the black component in CMYK or other suitable color gradation. The CMYK level uses four colors expressed in percentages: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. The K component of the CMYK gradation is the black component of the color. For example, a color having CMYK 15%, 0%, 25%, 36% means a color having 15% cyan, 0% magenta, 25% yellow, and 36% black component. The black component of the lake bottom can be evaluated by visually comparing the lake bottom color to a standard CMYK chart or palette and determining the black component based on the percentage found in the CMYK chart. Alternatively, other color components can also be used.

Alternative levels can also be used, such as L*a*b* (also known as Lab or CIELAB), X-Y-Z, RGB or HEX. In the L*a*b* color gradation, the color is measured on three axes L, a, and b, where the L axis measures the brightness. The L value of 100 indicates white and L=0 indicates black. When the impurity deposited on the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 and the perceived color of the bottom 2 reach L = 30, the operation of the action suction device 42 is activated.

According to an embodiment, the color of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 is monitored using a monitoring device 24 such as a colorimeter. According to an alternative embodiment, the color of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 can be determined by visual inspection by comparing the color and palette of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1. The color of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 can be visually inspected from the surface of the water, or especially when the turbidity is high (for example, greater than about 7 NTU), by using the bottom 2 of the visually detectable floating lake 1 attached to the pipeline. Peephole.

The bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 typically has a color that renders the water in the floating lake 1 a pleasant color and appearance. For example, the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 may have a colored material or may be painted, such as white, yellow or blue. In the exemplary embodiment, the color of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 is measured by a monitoring device 24 (eg, a colorimeter) of the coordination assembly 20. The perceived color of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 can be compared to its actual or original color, such as empirical or visual inspection, color guide comparison, colorimetric, spectrophotometric, and other methods of experience or analysis.

The operation of the mobile suction device 42 can be initiated by the coordination system. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the operation of the mobile suction device 42 can be initiated by the control unit 22. In other embodiments shown in Figures 6 and 7, the operation of the mobile suction device 42 can be manually initiated.

According to an embodiment, the operation of the action suction device 42 precedes the color of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 beyond a predetermined value (eg, the black component of the color at the bottom 2 exceeds 30 on the CMYK level (or other suitable color scale)) % before) was started. In an embodiment, the operation of the mobile suction device 42 is initiated by the control unit 22 of the coordination assembly 20.

The color of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 can be further monitored to determine the end point of the operation of the action suction device 42. For example, if the black component of the color of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 is reduced below a predetermined value, the operation of the action suction device 42 can be stopped. Such a value may be, for example, 10%-unit or more, or 5 units or more, or 3 units or more of the black component value of the actual color of the bottom portion 2 of the black component. For example, if the CMYK color scale is the standard, if the original color in the bottom 2 is 15%, 0%, 25%, 10% (the black component is 10%), the value can be set to 20% black, 15% black or 13% black. This value can be predetermined based on the actual color of the bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 and the desired level of cleanliness of the floating lake 1.

The color of the large floating lake can be monitored at multiple locations throughout the lake. If the floating lake also includes a plurality of suction means 42, the bottom 2 can be selectively cleaned in the area to avoid the color of the bottom 2 exceeding a predetermined value.

The suction device 42 is preferably a mobile suction device capable of cleaning a flexible bottom 2 having a Young's modulus of up to 20 GPa. The action suction device 42 is moved by the flexible bottom 2 of the floating lake 1 to draw any settling material as well as water. The pumped water and impurities are then sent to filtration system 44 to separate the impurities from the water. Water drawn by the suction device 42 can be sent to the system 44 by use of a pump or pumping station.

After extraction and filtration, the filtered water can be returned to the floating lake. The point at which the filtered water is returned to the floating lake should be designed to minimize the energy cost of pumping such water.

Surface debris and oil can be removed from the floating lake by using the skimming system 50. The skimming system 50 can include a floating skimmer or can be installed along the perimeter of the floating lake 1.

Water should be supplied to the floating lake 1 to compensate for the amount of evaporation, the water lost from the floating lake for cleaning purposes, and the final leak rate. The rate of evaporation depends on the weather conditions of the location of the floating lake.

According to an embodiment, the water is supplied to the floating lake 1 at a rate sufficient to maintain a positive pressure and replace the water lost due to cleaning, leakage and evaporation according to the following equation: replacement rate Evaporation rate + cleaning rate + leakage rate

The replacement rate includes water loss due to leakage, including loss due to damage to the wall portion 3 or the bottom portion 2 of the floating lake 1. The rate of cleaning corresponds to the rate of water lost in the filtration process of the pumped water. It must be noted that although the filtration system is a closed system, since the water sucked by the mobile suction device 42 of the clean flexible bottom 2 is sent to the filtration system 44 and then returned to the floating lake 1, such a cycle may include filtration The backwashing process of the system or water lost in the case of some water and impurities remaining in the filter medium. Thus, the cleaning rate corresponds to actual water loss or other loss due to the backwashing process of the filtration system, such as small losses in the piping network and other systems and equipment.

Typically, such rates are measured as the volume of water supplied to the floating lake per unit time.

The floating lake 1 can be fed with replacement water from the surrounding water body. The replacement water from the surrounding water body can be analyzed to determine if it can be fed directly to the floating lake 1, or if it needs to be processed before being fed to the floating lake 1. For example, the water can be replaced with a platinum-cobalt colorimetric standard to assess whether water can be fed directly into the floating lake 1. Platinum - cobalt color standard in the range of 1 to 500 ⁺ standard digital color assignment. The platinum-cobalt colorimetric consists of a comparison of 100 mL of sample (pre-filtered if any visible turbidity is present) with standard colors that have been prepared according to ASTM requirements. According to an embodiment, the replacement water for the floating lake 1 has a true color of less than 30 Pt-Co. Also, the microbial quality of the replacement water can also be tested before being fed to the floating lake 1. In a preferred embodiment, in order to feed the replacement water directly to the floating lake 1, the replacement water contains less than 2,000 CFU/ml (colony forming units per ml). If the replacement water has a true color above 30 Pt-Co, or if the replacement water from the surrounding water has more than 2,000 CFU/ml of bacteria, the water is typically pretreated before being fed to the floating lake 1. If the water in the surrounding water has a true color below 30 Pt-Co and bacteria below 2,000 CFU/ml, the water can be used or pretreated directly before being fed to the floating lake. In other embodiments, water from other sources may also be used as a replacement water in a floating lake.

In another embodiment, the floating lake comprises a permeable wall portion. It is possible that the surrounding water has a water quality suitable for recreational purposes, but the aesthetics are not attractive because the bottom is covered with sediment, debris or sludge that provides a dark and unpleasant color or a sense of water. force. In such cases, a floating lake can be provided in which the walls are permeable and allow good quality water to pass through, but the bottom still contains solid flexible material. Providing a solid bottom to the floating lake, that is, a solid bottom that is stable and continuous and capable of withstanding the pressure caused by the moving suction device, allows for a pleasant color and water for the bottom and allows the suction device to move through the bottom Thereby pumping settled organic and inorganic substances. Thus, where the condition of the natural or artificial water body is suitable for recreational purposes, the wall portion may be constructed of a permeable material to allow direct incorporation of water from the surrounding water body. In an embodiment, the permeability of the material forming the wall portion can be selected to provide a particular rate of permeation.

Other embodiments of the floating lake include a system for controlling the temperature of the water. For example, a floating lake can be constructed to keep the water temperature higher than the temperature of the surrounding water. In cold climates, natural water may be used for recreation purposes at another suitable quality, but swimming or water sports may be too cold for most of the year or throughout the year. In order to provide warm water temperature to the floating lake 1, the bottom of the lake can be darker in color, such as dark blue, green, brown or black. The dark bottom causes the solar radiation to heat the water in the floating lake 1 to a temperature higher than the surrounding water. For example, the temperature of the floating lake 1 can be 4 to 10 ° C higher than the surrounding water. The bottom and wall of the floating lake 1 can also be constructed of an insulating material to further facilitate heat retention in the floating lake 1.

The created floating lake system can be used for other purposes, such as for industrial cooling purposes, such as in thermal power plants, data centers, foundries, residential and industrial HVAC systems, thermal-solar power plants, paper industry, refineries, nuclear power plants. , other residential or industrial cooling procedures. For example, the creation of the floating lake system can be installed in large water bodies to provide low-cost, high-quality cooling water for industrial cooling systems and without significant impact on the properties of large natural or artificial water bodies installed in floating lakes. Heat dissipation from the heated cooling water. In one embodiment, the floating lake comprises a cooled surface area required for an industrial process of from about 50 to about 30,000 ^m2 per MW. Generally, the amount of organic matter contained in the water from the floating lake is significantly reduced compared to the large natural or artificial water body in which the floating lake is installed, thereby providing high-quality cooling water for the heat exchanger in the industrial process, and the minimum Biofouling and the prevention of biofouling capable of reducing heat transfer capacity create undesirable accumulations in the heat exchanger tubes. In an embodiment, the floating lake may be configured to include: a feed line that effectively connects the floating lake to a heat exchanger of an industrial process, feeds the heat exchanger with cooling water from the floating lake; and returns a water line, It effectively connects the industrial process to the floating lake, returning the heated cooling water from the heat exchanger to the floating lake. The cooling water is treated according to the method of the present invention and recycled in the floating lake to achieve a continuous cooling system over time.

Instance

The following examples are illustrative, and other embodiments exist and are within the scope of the present invention.

Example 1

In order to test the technique of the present application, a floating lake having a surface area of 8 m × 8 m and an average depth of 2.5 m was constructed. The floating lake has a non-permeable wall portion and a bottom made of a single layer of 1 mm PVC material, wherein the bottom portion exhibits a Young's modulus of 3 GPa. PVC material is thermally fused A floating lake structure is obtained and the floating material is attached to the perimeter of the surface to provide structural stability and maintain the shape of the floating lake.

The floating lake is installed in an irrigation pond that contains inferior water and is aesthetically unsuitable for recreational purposes and has a surface area of more than 6,000 m ² . Irrigation ponds contain water with high turbidity, a bottom covered with deep-colored sediments for water, and high organic concentrations. The key parameters of the surrounding lake water quality were measured. The total bacterial count was 300 CFU/ml and the true color of the platinum-cobalt specification was 35. Therefore, the water from the surrounding water body is pretreated before being fed to the floating lake. Although the water meets bacteriological requirements, it does not meet the true color requirements and is therefore processed before it is fed to the floating lake.

The floating lake is designed to have a positive pressure, which is calculated by calculating the extra volume required to feed the floating lake, which is equivalent to having a water level higher than the water level of the pond. The positive pressure was chosen to be at least 20 N/m ² . Since the surface of the floating lake is 64 m ² , the theoretical minimum high quasi-volume is calculated to be 0.128 m ² according to the following equation: higher than the quasi-volume (m ³ ) 0.002mx 64m ²

Higher than the standard volume (m ³ ) 0.128m ³

Therefore, since the water level in the floating lake is desirably 2 mm higher than the water level of the surrounding water, the total volume of water required to achieve this higher level is calculated to be 0.128 m ³ . However, in practice, it has been found that due to the flexibility of the wall portion of the floating lake (that is, the structure that separates the volume of the floating lake from the surrounding water), when the height level is added, the wall portion of the floating lake Swell. This expansion causes the actual water level in the floating lake to become equal to the water level of the surrounding water and the required positive pressure.

The designed high level volume is 0.5 m ³ , which corresponds to a positive pressure equivalent to 7.8 mm higher than the surrounding water level in the floating lake, or a positive pressure of about 76 N/m ² . Such positive pressure is maintained by providing a floating device that compensates for water weight for the floating lake boundary.

The coordinating system initiates application of the oxidant to maintain an ORP level of 570 mV for 18 hours over a 52 hour cycle; and also initiates application of the coagulant composition to avoid water turbidity exceeding 5 NTU. The oxidizing agent applied was sodium hypochlorite and was added at a concentration of 1 ppm during the application. The addition of a coagulant causes the impurities to flocculate and is then allowed to settle at the bottom of the floating lake.

The coordination system also initiates the operation of the mobile suction device by sending a signal to the appropriate operator of the device, and wherein the mobile suction device allows cleaning of the flexibility of the Young's modulus built by the PVC to about 3 GPa. bottom. The mobile suction device is specially designed and contains a magnetic system allowing the flexible bottom to be cleaned. The suction device includes internal components placed on the inner bottom surface of the floating lake and external components placed on the outer surface of the floating lake. The inner and outer components are magnetically attracted and allow the flexible bottom of the floating lake to be cleaned by pumping the settling material.

The suction device is activated before the increase in the black component of the bottom is more than 30% above the CMYK level compared to the original color. The black component of the bottom is evaluated by visual comparison with the CMYK color scale. The suction device is operated and moved through the bottom of the floating lake to pump sedimentation impurities.

The water pumped by the suction device is pumped through the hose to a filtration system located on the shore of the irrigation pond.

Water is supplied to the floating lake to maintain positive pressure in the floating lake. The replacement water is compensated for the evaporation rate, which is estimated to be 2 mm per day and is a very small water flow corresponding to the cleaning rate. Therefore, the replacement rate is calculated based on the cleaning rate and the evaporation rate to maintain a positive high water level volume. The replacement water flow is intermittent and allows maintaining a positive pressure equal to maintaining the water level of the floating lake between 5 mm and 1 cm higher than the surrounding water for a period of more than 50% over a 7 day period.

For comparison, the following water quality parameters were obtained from the floating lake and surrounding water bodies:

The example of a floating lake and method provides a safe and aesthetically pleasing body of water that exhibits better color and water quality than the surrounding pond.
