Abstract

A water treatment tank includes: a tank body including a bottom surface extending in a horizontal direction; and an overflow wall installed in the tank body to partition an inside space of the tank body into a seawater intake upstream tank into which treatment water having absorbed sulfur from an exhaust gas is introduced and a seawater intake downstream tank into which treatment water overflowing the seawater intake upstream tank is introduced to flow therein. The treatment water flowing into the seawater intake downstream tank is divided by the overflow wall in the width direction of the overflow wall so as to form a waterfall region and a non-waterfall region.

Claims (26)

1 . A water treatment tank comprising:

a tank body that includes a bottom surface extending in a horizontal direction; and

an overflow wall installed in the tank body to partition an inside space of the tank body into an upstream tank into which treatment water having absorbed sulfur from an exhaust gas is introduced and a downstream tank into which the treatment water overflowing from the upstream tank is introduced to flow therein,

wherein the treatment water flowing into the downstream tank is divided by the overflow wall in a width direction of the overflow wall so as to form a waterfall region and a non-waterfall region.

2 . A water treatment tank comprising:

a tank body that includes a bottom surface extending in a horizontal direction; and

an overflow wall installed in the tank body to partition an inside space of the tank body into an upstream tank into which treatment water is introduced from sea and a downstream tank into which the treatment water overflowing from the upstream tank is introduced to flow therein,

wherein the treatment water flowing into the downstream tank is divided by the overflow wall in a width direction of the overflow wall so as to form a waterfall region and a non-waterfall region.

3 . The water treatment tank according to claim 1 , wherein the overflow wall includes a plurality of protrusions which are formed so as to be separated from each other in a width direction of the overflow wall and which are higher than a water surface of the upstream tank.

4 . The water treatment tank according to claim 1 , wherein the overflow wall includes a plurality of gathering portions each formed so that of which a flow passage width is gradually decreased toward a downstream side of the treatment water when viewed from above.

5 . The water treatment tank according to claim 3 , or wherein at least part of an upper end of the overflow wall is inclined so as to be lowered toward the downstream side of the treatment water.

6 . The water treatment tank according to claim 1 , further comprising a division plate which is installed between an upper end of the overflow wall and a water surface of the treatment water flowing over the overflow wall and which is configured to divide the treatment water into first falling water falling to an upstream side of the downstream tank and second falling water falling to a downstream side of the downstream tank with respect to the first falling water.

7 . A desulfurization device comprising:

the water treatment tank according to claim 1 ;

a desulfurization absorption tower which is configured to remove SO 2 in an exhaust gas by absorbing the SO 2 into seawater; and

a drainage line which is configured to introduce used seawater discharged from the desulfurization absorption tower to the water treatment tank.

8 . The water treatment tank according to claim 4 , wherein at least part of an upper end of the overflow wall is inclined so as to be lowered toward the downstream side of the treatment water.

9 . The water treatment tank according to claim 2 , wherein the overflow wall includes a plurality of protrusions which are formed so as to be separated from each other in a width direction of the overflow wall and which are higher than a water surface of the upstream tank.

10 . The water treatment tank according to claim 2 , wherein the overflow wall includes a plurality of gathering portions each formed so that of which a flow passage width is gradually decreased toward a downstream side of the treatment water when viewed from above.

11 . The water treatment tank according to claim 9 , wherein at least part of an upper end of the overflow wall is inclined so as to be lowered toward the downstream side of the treatment water.

12 . The water treatment tank according to claim 10 , wherein at least part of an upper end of the overflow wall is inclined so as to be lowered toward the downstream side of the treatment water.

13 . The water treatment tank according to claim 2 , further comprising a division plate which is installed between an upper end of the overflow wall and a water surface of the treatment water flowing over the overflow wall and which is configured to divide the treatment water into first falling water falling to an upstream side of the downstream tank and second falling water falling to a downstream side of the downstream tank with respect to the first falling water.

14 . A desulfurization device comprising:

the water treatment tank according to claim 2 ;

a desulfurization absorption tower which is configured to remove SO 2 in an exhaust gas by absorbing the SO 2 into seawater; and

a drainage line which is configured to introduce used seawater discharged from the desulfurization absorption tower to the water treatment tank.
