Abstract

A ballast water treatment device includes an oxidant supply amount control device in which a storage unit stores a relationship between an absorbance of a raw water for a ballast and a dissolved organic carbon concentration thereof and another relationship between the dissolved concentration and a residual oxidant concentration required after a predetermined time from an oxidant supply, to kill organisms and to suppress their regrowth in the ballast. A calculation unit derives the required residual oxidant concentration corresponding to the absorbance measured by a meter by referring to the relationships and calculates a target oxidant supply amount using the required residual oxidant concentration. For the target, a control unit controls an oxidant supply device.

Abstract

Provided are a ballast water treatment device and treatment method with which it is possible to supply, in accordance with the quality of raw water taken in for ballast water, an appropriate amount of an oxidant required for ensuring an adequate concentration of the oxidant to sterilize living organisms in the raw water, even after a long period of time has elapsed from when the supply of the oxidant to the raw water was stopped. In the treatment device, a storage means (23) stores: a first correspondence relationship of the light absorption of the raw water and the concentration of dissolved organic carbon in the raw water; and a second correspondence relationship of the concentration of the dissolved organic carbon and a required residual oxidant concentration required, as a residual oxidant concentration at the point in time when a prescribed amount of time has elapsed since the oxidant was supplied, in order to sterilize the living organisms in the raw water and to suppress the repopulation of living organisms in the water stored in the ballast tank. On the basis of the correspondence relationships, a calculation means (24) derives the required residual oxidant concentration corresponding to the light absorption of the raw water as measured by a light absorption meter 21, and calculates the amount of oxidant required to be supplied using the required residual oxidant concentration as a control target value. A control means (25) controls an oxidant supply device 5 in accordance with the calculation.

Abstract

The purpose is to provide a biomass carbonization device (10) and a biomass carbonization method for thermally degrading a biomass (M) to obtain a carbonized product (C) at a higher yield than in the past. The biomass carbonization device has a temperature control unit (16) for controlling the temperature inside a carbonization furnace (11). The temperature control unit controls the temperature of the lower part of the packed moving bed (P) of the biomass to at or above a tar vapor generation temperature that thermally degrades the biomass and generates tar vapor, and controls the temperature of the upper part of the packed moving bed to at or below a tar condensation temperature that condenses the tar vapor. In the carbonization furnace, tar vapor generated in the lower part of the packed moving bed is condensed in the upper part and made into liquid tar; the liquid tar is trapped by the biomass in the packed moving bed, and the trapped liquid tar is thermally degraded together with the biomass and converted into a carbonized product.
