Abstract

As the conference result of MEPC in IMO, development of ballast water management system corresponding to newly established hal!，αst water management standard (D2 regulation) of shipping is being made an active progress over the whole world. The ballast water management system should treat particular material of more than 10μm in high capacity of more than 500t per hour in the event of filtration process. Also, it is very difficult to develop a practical management system since a limited element which a narrow space of the ship should be designed in the minimal volume is assumed Therefore， the study promoted a study on the next generation auto hack wash media filter to overcome such a limited element. Also, the study performed pressure and flux measurement test followed by thickness of each filter medium for filtration by each size to grasp a relation between absorption and pressure at the time of uacuum filtration and mechanical analysis and turbidity change observation of filtered water after vacuum filtration.
