AbstractThe transportation of exotic species in ballast tanks is one of the most important global environmental problems facing the shipping industry. Electrochemical techniques offer one of the most viable solutions for ballast water problems. This work reports laboratory experiments conducted by Istanbul Technical University (ITU) for the best and optimal electrochemical cell design for EU Project BaWaPla (Contract 031529), in which a new hybrid ballast water treatment system has been developed. The capability of an electrochemical system to effectively eliminate these organisms depends on various internal and external parameters. Five different electrochemical cells were assessed for the BaWaPla system. The variable parameters of the cell design were the geometry and dimensions of the electrodes. In additional to cell design, the effects of Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations, along with ammonia, were also investigated as external parameters for system capability. The results show that the enlargement of electrode surfaces result in increased chlorine concentrations in the disinfectant. On the other hand, suitable electrode and coating materials are essential for “reverse polarity” operation in order to avoid scaling of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions on electrodes and clogging the membrane. Ammonia, if present in ballast water, has a negative effect on disinfection quality. Experiments show that presence of 7.8 mg/L ammonia in electrolyte may cause up to 73% loss of free available chlorine and 38% loss of total available chlorine concentrations. Measures should be considered, both in the design stage and during the disinfection process, to reduce the negative effect of ammonia.AbbreviationsASW: NaCl solution with tap water (Artificial seawater)FAC: free available chlorineSW: seawaterTRC: total residual chlorine

At the stage of water treatment for irrigation systems, the efficiency capture coarse and fine mechanical impurities, as well as oil products and organic compounds affects the reliability of the equipment of the irrigation network and the safety of energy exchange processes in irrigated agricultural landscapes. The violation of work irrigation system can cause disruptions in irrigation schedules of agricultural crops, crop shortages, degradation phenomena on the soil and ecological tension. For the combined irrigation system, a water treatment unit has been developed, representing a hydrocyclone apparatus with a pipe filter in the case. For the capacity of 250 m3/h the main geometrical dimensions of hydrocyclone have been calculated. To organize the capture petroleum products and organic compounds, it has been proposed a modernization of a hydrocyclone unit, consisting in dividing the cylindrical part of the apparatus into two section. The first is section is for input irrigation water, the second one is for additional drainage of clarified irrigation water after sorption purification by the filter, placed on the disk and installed coaxially with the drain pipe and the pipe filter.
