FILTERING DEVICE, PLEATED FILTER, AND METHOD FOR TREATING BALLAST WATER

摘要

A filtering device includes a pleated filter that includes a filter base having folds that repeatedly form mountains and valleys and having a cylindrical shape whose direction of an axis is a ridge line direction of the folds and in which the mountains are located outward in a radial direction, an untreated-water nozzle through which untreated water is ejected toward an outer circumferential surface of the pleated filter, a case that includes an outer tubular portion provided so as to surround the pleated filter and including a nozzle opening of the untreated-water nozzle therein, a filtered-water flow path that leads filtered water having passed through the pleated filter from the inside of the cylinder of the pleated filter to the outside of the case, and a discharge flow path through which discharge water that is not filtered by the pleated filter is discharged to the outside of the case. The pleated filter is configured to rotate in a direction about the axis. Ridge lines of the plural mountains of the pleated filter are curved in a shape that expands in a direction opposite to the rotation direction.

1. A filtering device comprising a pleated filter that includes a filter base having folds that repeatedly form mountains and valleys and having a cylindrical shape whose direction of an axis is a ridge line direction of the folds and in which the mountains are located outward in a radial direction;
an untreated-water nozzle through which untreated water is ejected toward an outer circumferential surface of the pleated filter; a case that includes an outer tubular portion provided so as to surround the pleated filter and including a nozzle opening of the untreated-water nozzle therein; a filtered-water flow path that leads filtered water having passed through the pleated filter from the inside of the cylinder of the pleated filter to the outside of the case; and a discharge flow path through which discharge water that is not filtered by the pleated filter is discharged to the outside of the case, wherein the pleated filter is configured to rotate in a direction about the axis, and ridge lines of the plural mountains of the pleated filter are curved in a shape that expands in a direction opposite to the rotation direction.
