Benefits of technology

The present invention utilizes a distilled water generator to create ballast water for the vessel. This not only adjusts the stability and draft of the ship, but also prevents problems for the environment and human health.

Problems solved by technology

Meanwhile, the living organisms contained in the ballast water would be also discharged into the surrounding waters of the destination and result in ecological or environmental problems, such as (1) invasion of aquatic creatures, i.e., exotic species, into local aquatic area, and result in threat or destruction to the local ecosystem; (2) spreading bacteria or virus together with the discharge of ballast water from one aquatic area to other aquatic area, and leads to a possible breakout of large-scale infectious diseases.
It is strongly believed that the above problems are growing worse day by day.
However, the above methods cannot fully remove or kill all kinds of aquatic creatures contained in the ballast water.
Besides, some methods, such as the chemical treatment, even are harmful to the environment.
Additionally, it is inconvenient to set up the related ballast water treatment system and the cost thereof is also expensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]The following illustrative embodiments and drawings are provided to illustrate the disclosure of the present invention, these and other advantages and effects can be clearly understood by persons skilled in the art after reading the disclosure of this specification. As shown in FIG. 1, a vessel 100 of an embodiment according to the present invention includes a ship body 110 and a ballast water generation system 120. The ballast water generation system 120 includes a pumping device 10, a distilled water generator 20 and a ballast water tank 30.

[0021]Wherein, the pumping device 10 is disposed on the ship body 110 and is adapted to pump water. For example, the pumping device 10 includes a water pump for pumping water from a sailing area of the vessel 100. Depending on different sailing areas, the pumped water can include river water, lake water or seawater. In this embodiment, the vessel 100 is a marine vessel and the pumping device 10 is adapted to pump seawater for utilization....

Abstract

An application of distilled water, a generation system and a facility utilizing distilled water as ballast water of a vessel, a vessel including the generation system and an operation method thereof are disclosed. The vessel includes a ship body and a generation system which includes a pumping device, a distilled water generator and a ballast water tank. The operation method includes pumping water by the pumping device from a sailing area of the vessel; distillation of the water pumped by the pumping device with the distilled water generator to form distilled water, and supplying the distilled water to the ballast water tank as the ballast water so as to adjust a draft and stability of the ship body. The facility includes a distilled water storage device adapted to store distilled water which could be applied to a ballast water tank of a vessel as ballast water.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Technical Field[0001]The present invention is related to vessel and ballast water, and more particularly to an application of distilled water, a generation system and a facility which utilize distilled water as ballast water of a vessel, a vessel including the generation system and an operation method thereof.2. Description of Related Art[0002]To maintain balance of a vessel, it usually requires to load a predetermined amount of ballast water into a ballast water tank disposed on a ship body of the vessel to adjust a draft and a center of gravity of the ship body so as to maintain the vessel in longitudinal and horizontal balance, and to ensure the safety and the stability of the vessel during its sailing process. Besides, in order to keep the power system of the vessel operating at a good propulsive efficiency, it usually requires to adjust a draft of the propeller of the vessel to minimize the vibration of the ship body which is induced by the tail wa...
