BALLAST WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM AND BALLAST WATER TREATMENT METHOD

A ballast water treatment system includes an ultraviolet irradiation device which irradiates ballast water flowing through a treatment line (a pipe) with ultraviolet rays, and a control unit. The ultraviolet irradiation device includes a light source which emits ultraviolet rays, and an illuminance sensor sensing an illuminance of ultraviolet rays received by the ballast water. The control unit controls the ultraviolet irradiation device to maintain at a prescribed dose a dose calculated using an illuminance sensed by the illuminance sensor and a flow rate of ballast water which flows through the ultraviolet irradiation device. When the sensed dose cannot be maintained at the prescribed dose by controlling the ultraviolet irradiation device, the control unit reduces a treatment flow rate of the ballast water which flows through the treatment line.

Multiple tank high solids anaerobic digester

A multi-stage anaerobic digester is designed to treat a high solids, stackable feedstock. The system may also receive a pumpable feedstock such as a slurry or sludge. In a first stage, the digestate circulates in one direction around a raceway such that the digestate may pass a feed inlet multiple times before leaving the first tank. An optional side stream loop withdraws fibrous material from near the top of the reaceway and return digestate with chopped fibers, preferably lower and further along the raceway. An outlet from the raceway located near, but upstream of the feed inlet discharges partially digested substrate to a second stage, which is operated as a stirred tank reactor. The two stages may be provided in a single tank with an internal wall separating a ring shaped outer portion from a cylindrical inner portion. The digester may be operated in a thermophilic temperature range.
