Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus having a double wiper structure for sterilizing ballast water. Each wiper for use in removing foreign substances from an ultraviolet lamp has a double structure including a main wiper part and auxiliary wiper parts. The auxiliary wiper parts are disposed on opposite sides of the main wiper part so that when the wiper body is moved forward or backward, the corresponding auxiliary wiper part primarily removes foreign substances before the main wiper part wipes the ultraviolet lamp unit. Each auxiliary wiper part includes an inclined protrusion and a pointed part so that friction between the surface of the ultraviolet lamp and the auxiliary wiper part can be minimized. The main wiper part includes a first blade and a second blade that are respectively disposed on opposite sides of a depression formed in an inner circumferential surface of the main wiper part.
Abstract:
An ultraviolet irradiation device that is used for a fluid to be irradiated having a low ultraviolet ray transmissivity, a spirally wound tube in which the fluid to be irradiated flows is supported and fixed, and an irradiation amount of ultraviolet rays with which the fluid is irradiated is increased. A tube 3 having ultraviolet ray transmitting property is spirally wound on an outer circumferential surface of a support pipe 5, a plurality of ultraviolet lamps 7 are disposed around an axis of the support pipe apart from the tube, an inner case 9 that supports the support pipe and that encloses the plurality of ultraviolet lamps is provided, and a fluid flows in the tube and is irradiated with ultraviolet rays. The tube which is a fluid channel is thereby fixed to the support pipe, so that breakage of the tube and the ultraviolet lamps 7 can be prevented.
Abstract:
A contactless power supply has a dynamically configurable tank circuit powered by an inverter. The contactless power supply is inductively coupled to one or more loads. The inverter is connected to a DC power source. When loads are added or removed from the system, the contactless power supply is capable of modifying the resonant frequency of the tank circuit, the inverter frequency, the inverter duty cycle or the rail voltage of the DC power source.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and also a method for determining the degree of disinfection, and for determining the time point when a defined degree of disinfection is reached by a liquid, in particular drinking water, that is situated in a container which is light-permeable at least in a UV range. The device comprises in this case a UV measuring appliance for measuring the intensity of the UV radiation in the region of the container, a data analysis unit to which the values of the UV intensity which are measured by the UV measuring device are fed, and wherein the data analysis unit converts the UV intensity values measured at the start of a measurement at defined time points to form a characteristic, and wherein the data analysis unit compares the characteristics determined at defined time points with a predetermined characteristic, which predetermined characteristic corresponds to a defined degree of disinfection of the liquid, and wherein the device comprises at least one signal output appliance which, in the event that the determined characteristics reaches or exceeds the value of the predetermined characteristic, provides the signal output.

Abstract:
A ballast water treatment device includes a ballast water treatment line, a pump for drawing and pressure feeding treatment target water, a filter, an ultraviolet reactor for irradiating filtrated treatment target water with ultraviolet, a ballast tank for storing treated water having been treated with ultraviolet, and an outboard discharger, and the pump, the filter, the ultraviolet reactor, the ballast tank, and the outboard discharger are provided on the ballast water treatment line. Treatment target water drawn for a predetermined period from start of drawing treatment target water is not caused to pass through the filter and the ultraviolet reactor but is discharged outboard by the outboard discharger, and discharging outboard by the outboard discharger is stopped at elapse of the predetermined period and treated water having been filtrated by the filter and having been treated with ultraviolet by the ultraviolet reactor is poured into the ballast tank.
Abstract:
A method and system of providing ultrapure water for semiconductor fabrication operations is provided. The water is treated by utilizing a free radical scavenging system and a free radical removal system. The free radical scavenging system can utilize actinic radiation with a free radical precursor compound, such as ammonium persulfate. The free radical removal system can comprise use of a reducing agent. The ultrapure water may be further treated by utilizing ion exchange media and degasification apparatus. A control system can be utilized to regulate addition of the precursor compound, the intensity of the actinic radiation, and addition of the reducing agent to the water.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a water treatment using an UV AOP.The invention combines an UV AOP (11) applied to a water containing a free chlorine species (8) with a chemical post treatment (14), a quenching. The quenching (14) is applied to said water (9) after the UV AOP (11) able to reduce a remaining content of said free chlorine species in said water (9).
Abstract:
