Research on Ballast Water Treatment Conceptual Design of Offshore Jack up Platform
《International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships'Ballast Water and Sediments,2004》has come into effect on September 8,2017,international navigation ships built on or after this date must meet the requirements of this convention.Due to the significant differences in operating conditions and ballast system principles between jack up platforms and navigation ships,how to optimize the ballast water treatment scheme of jack up platform has a very important impact on design and construction.This paper briefly describes the ballast water treatment technology and conventions,and then conducts a detailed study on the ballast princi-ple and treatment scheme of jack up platform.Finally,an optimized design scheme for the ballast water treat-ment of offshore jack up platform is proposed.
