摘要 |
A device for treating ballast water includes a housing having a ballast water inlet and a ballast water outlet, a hydrocyclone connected to the ballast water inlet and having a particle outlet discharging particles from the device and an outlet carrying particle-depleted ballast water, a filter surrounding the hydrocyclone, which filter divides the device into an intermediate chamber disposed between hydrocyclone and filter and an outer chamber disposed between filter and housing. The intermediate chamber is communicatively connected to the outlet of the hydrocyclone carrying particle-depleted ballast water. Ultrasound is generated to act on the outer chamber and/or the filter, UV light is generated to act on the outer chamber and/or the filter, and a gas is introduced into the outer chamber of the device. |

1. A device for treating ballast water, comprising
a housing having
an axially arranged ballast water inlet on the top thereof anda ballast water outlet arranged on the bottom thereof, a hydrocyclone connected to the ballast water inlet having
a particle outlet arranged on the bottom of the housing, which outlet discharges particles from the device, andan outlet carrying particle-depleted ballast water, a filter surrounding the hydrocyclone, which filter divides the device into an intermediate chamber arranged between the hydrocyclone and the filter and an outer chamber arranged between the filter and the housing, wherein the intermediate chamber is communicatively connected to the outlet of the hydrocyclone carrying particle-depleted ballast water, and means for generating ultrasound acting on the outer chamber and/or the filter, means for generating UV light acting on the outer chamber and/or the filter, and means for introducing a gas into the outer chamber of the device. |
