Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and more specifically to a device for treating ship ballast wastewater and tank washing water. Background Technology

[0002] Ballast water is crucial for the safe navigation of ships. When ocean-going vessels inject and discharge ballast water during voyages, it can easily lead to the cross-oceanic spread of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens. Uncontrolled discharge of ballast water poses a serious threat to marine ecosystems and public health. To address biological invasions caused by ship ballast water, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has formulated the Convention on the Control and Management of Ship Ballast Water and Sediments. According to the convention, ballast water treatment refers to the killing and removal of microorganisms in ballast water. Among various ballast water treatment methods, ultraviolet (UV) filtration is currently the most widely used. However, existing UV sterilization devices for ballast water are not sufficiently effective, and the discharged ballast water still contains impurities and incompletely disinfected bacteria.

[0003] Ceramic membranes possess outstanding characteristics such as high mechanical strength, large flux, high thermal and chemical stability, resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, and stable operation under extreme pollution conditions, making them widely used in water treatment. However, their application is limited by drawbacks such as membrane fouling and limited functionality. Ozone, on the other hand, is a strong oxidant with a high standard redox potential and strong bactericidal and disinfecting effects. Its decomposition product is oxygen, which does not cause secondary pollution, and it can oxidize membrane contaminants, mitigating the problem of ceramic membrane fouling. Currently, no system has been found that combines ceramic membranes and ozone to treat ship ballast water.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model proposes a treatment device for ship ballast wastewater and tank washing water that uses a combination of ceramic membrane and ozone to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: by setting up an aeration component, the ceramic membrane body is clamped and positioned by the lower support plate and the upper clamping plate. The water passes through the membrane wall of the ceramic membrane body to complete the treatment. The treated water enters the interior of the connecting tank and enters the interior of the clear water tank under the pumping action of the first pump body.

The outlet end of the backflush pipe is connected to the outlet pipeline, and a second gate valve is provided on the surface of the backflush pipe.
