20110100885 | BALLAST WATER TREATMENT DEVICE - Disclosed herein is a ballast water treatment device. The device includes a filtering unit filtering ballast water introduced into a ship using a filter, a vortex generating unit generating an artificial vortex in the ballast water filtered by the filtering unit, and an ultraviolet treatment unit having an ultraviolet lamp which sterilizes the ballast water discharged from the vortex generating unit using ultraviolet rays, thus preventing secondary contamination resulting from by-products, preventing a ballast tank from becoming contaminated, affording effective maintenance, and making it convenient to control. Further, an artificial vortex is formed in the ballast water when it is mixed, thus allowing a large quantity of ultraviolet rays to be radiated onto the ballast water passing through the ultraviolet treatment unit, therefore improving a sterilization effect. | 05-05-2011 |
20110303591 | FILTERING APPARATUS FOR TREATING BALLAST WATER - Disclosed herein is a filtering apparatus for treating ballast water. The apparatus is constructed so that a housing cover plate and an exhaust unit are removably coupled to each other at an upper position of a housing. The exhaust unit includes a base flange on a portion thereof coupled to the housing cover plate and the base flange includes a projecting step that projects to be inserted into a core through hole formed in the housing cover plate. A core serving as a discharge passage of foreign substances includes a shaft coupling unit on a portion thereof coupled to the driving shaft, and is coupled at the shaft coupling unit to the driving shaft via a coupling means. The outer diameters of the coupling means and the shaft coupling unit are formed to be smaller than the outer diameter of the core. | 12-15-2011 |
20110303855 | ULTRAVIOLET STERILIZER HAVING VIBRATION-PROOF FUNCTION - Disclosed herein is an ultraviolet sterilizer having a vibration-proof function. The ultraviolet sterilizer includes an ultraviolet sterilization unit. The ultraviolet sterilization unit has an inlet through which ballast water is drawn thereinto, an outlet through which the ballast water is discharged therefrom, and an ultraviolet lamp located between the inlet and the outlet. The ultraviolet lamp applies ultraviolet rays to the ballast water. The ultraviolet sterilizer further includes a cap which supports each of the opposite ends of the ultraviolet sterilization unit, and a shock absorption unit which is elastically compressed at a first end thereof by the cap while a second end thereof compresses an end of the ultraviolet lamp. Thereby, even if the ultraviolet sterilization unit vibrates, the sleeve pipe or the ultraviolet lamp can be prevented from being damaged, and explosive gas which may cause the ultraviolet sterilizer to explode is also prevented from entering the cap. | 12-15-2011 |
20120248330 | ULTRAVIOLET STERILIZER HAVING WATERTIGHT FUNCTION - Disclosed herein is an ultraviolet sterilizer having a watertight function. The ultraviolet sterilizer includes a housing and an ultraviolet sterilization unit. The housing has an inlet through which ballast water is drawn into the housing, and an outlet through which the ballast water is discharged from the housing after the ballast water has been sterilized. The ultraviolet sterilization unit is provided in the housing and includes an ultraviolet lamp applying ultraviolet rays to the ballast water to sterilize the ballast water. The ultraviolet sterilizer further includes a cap which supports each of the opposite ends of the ultraviolet sterilization unit and is watertightly coupled to the housing. Thus, even if the ultraviolet sterilization unit is damaged, ballast water is prevented from being drawn into a reception space which contains external devices, and explosive gas which may cause the ultraviolet sterilizer to explode is also prevented from entering the cap. | 10-04-2012 |
20140231320 | MULTICAGE-TYPE DEVICE FOR FILTERING BALLAST WATER FOR PREVENTING BACK PRESSURE - A device for filtering for treating ballast water and more particularly, to a multicage-type device for filtering ballast water to prevent back pressure, wherein the multicage-type device for filtering ballast water includes a back pressure prevention tank on a backwash line for backwashing and discharging foreign substances that are inside a filter of the device for filtering, so that backwash water and the foreign substances in the backwash line are preliminarily stored in the back pressure prevention tank thereby preventing increase of back pressure, prevents increase of the back pressure on the backwash line by always maintaining level of water inside the back pressure prevention tank at lower than an inlet port that is connected to the backwash line, and always maintains the level of water at lower than a specific level by artificially discharging the backwash water that is stored inside the tank. | 08-21-2014 |
20140238911 | COMPACT AND OPERABILITY-ENHANCING MULTICAGE-TYPE DEVICE FOR FILTERING BALLAST WATER - A device for filtering for treating ballast water by way of a filtering method, and more particularly, to a compact and operability-enhancing multicage-type device for filtering ballast water, which distributes a lower portion of the device for filtering a discharge portion for discharging foreign substances after backwashing a filter and a backwash line, among features that are concentrated at an upper portion of the device for filtering, and communicates discharge tubes of each filtering unit in a single line, by considering the unique installation environment of the device for filtering that is coupled to a ship, thereby simplifying structure, reducing space required for installing the device for filtering in the upper portion of the device for filtering, allowing efficient maintenance by integrating foreign substance discharge and back pressure maintenance of each of the filtering units. | 08-28-2014 |
20140246378 | MULTICAGE-TYPE DEVICE FOR FILTERING BALLAST WATER FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING SEQUENTIAL BACKWASHING AND METHOD FOR SAME - A device for filtering for treating ballast water way and to a method for controlling same, and to a multicage-type device for filtering ballast water which automatically controls sequential backwashing and a method for same. In the multicage-type device for filtering ballast water, an automatic cleaning portion in each filtering device, in which differential pressure of at least a specific range with respect to pressure inside a body is generated, from a plurality of filtering units in the device for filtering, is sequentially actuated under the control of a control portion, thereby allowing smooth backwashing by preventing increase of back pressure during backwashing of foreign substances, and increasing repair/maintenance efficiency by installing a second pressure sensor for measuring pressure inside a filter in each of the filtering units via a pressure measurement aperture that penetrates an upper portion cover plate that covers a filter inlet aperture on the body. | 09-04-2014 |
20140299527 | HIGH-EFFICIENCY CANDLE-TYPE DEVICE FOR FILTERING BALLAST WATER HAVING HIGH-DENSITY FILTER STRUCTURE - A device for filtering ballast water which performs filtering by installing a filter element having a conical shape in a concentric circle direction inside the device for filtering ballast water that accommodates a filter portion, and introducing ballast water from a lower end of the device for filtering and passing same through the filter element inside the device for filtering, and for discharging backwash water containing foreign substances that are inside a filter by way of differential pressure, which is created by a driving portion communicating with a filter element by rotating a suction portion that is located on a lower end of the device for filtering. Particularly, the present invention relates to a high-efficiency candle-type device for filtering ballast water having a high-density filter structure, wherein the driving portion is positioned on a lower portion of a housing so that more filter elements can be accommodated inside the housing. | 10-09-2014 |
