Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for sterilizing ballast water. Ultraviolet lamps are installed in a body, and a cross-section of the body that is perpendicular to the orientation of the ultraviolet lamps is rectangular. The ultraviolet lamps are arranged at regular intervals in the rectangular cross-section of the body so that the number of ultraviolet lamps arranged per a unit cross-sectional area can be minimized.

Furthermore, lines, each of which includes ultraviolet lamps arranged in a row perpendicular to the direction of the flow of ballast water, are arranged in the rectangular cross-section of the body. The ultraviolet lamps of each line are disposed between the ultraviolet lamps of the preceding or following line. Thus, ballast water can be prevented from being discharged out of the body without colliding with any ultraviolet lamp.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a ballast water treatment system having a back-pressure formation unit and a control method thereof. Back pressure in a filtering unit is checked and formed during a back washing operation for a filter of a filtering unit, thus enabling efficient back washing operation. Both a method of physically filtering ballast water using the filter and a method of sterilizing ballast water using ultraviolet rays are used to treat ballast water, thus preventing secondary contamination due to byproducts, and preventing the contamination of a ballast tank. A flow rate of ballast water introduced into an ultraviolet treatment unit is controlled such that the efficiency of the ultraviolet treatment unit is not reduced, while back pressure is formed in the filtering unit, thus increasing the overall treatment efficiency of the ballast water treatment system. Further, the filtering unit or the ultraviolet treatment unit may be automatically washed.
