Abstract: |
Ballast water contains a
variety of organisms including bacteria, viruses and the adult and larval
stages of the many marine and coastal plants and animals. As such, it poses
serious ecological, economic and health problems and has serious negative
effects on the global environment. This paper presents a new efficient
ballast water analysis and heat treatment system using waste heat recovery
system on ships. The project demonstrates laboratory methods to verify
killing efficiency of microorganisms in sea water
exposed to heat treatment over a short period of time. Heating times were
varied in a range from 20 seconds to 3 minutes. The microorganisms were
measured using a flow cytometry instrument and uorescence microscopy to detect living and dead organisms
in untreated and treated water. Based on the biological analysis, a related
heat treatment simulation was carried out to confirm the control method. |
