  • Infusion of combustion gases into ballast water preferably under less than atmospheric pressure to synergistically kill harmful Aquatic Nuisance Species by simultaneous hypercapnia, hypoxia and Acidic pH level
    Publication number: 20110132849
    Abstract: Aquatic nuisance species (ANS) in ship's ballast water are killed by permeating to equilibrium a gaseous mixture consisting essentially of, preferably, ?84% nitrogen, ?11% carbon dioxide and ?4% oxygen through ship's ballast water until the ballast water itself becomes (i) hypercapnic to ?20 ppm carbon dioxide, and, by association, (ii) acidic to pH ?7, while preferably further, and also, being rendered (iii) hypoxic to ?1 ppm oxygen. The permeating is preferably realized by bubbling the gaseous mixture preferably obtained from an inert gas generator through the ballast water over the course of 2+ days while the ballast water is continually maintained a pressure less than atmosphere, preferably ?2 p.s.i. or less.
    Type: Application

  • INFUSION OF COMBUSTION GASES INTO BALLAST WATER PREFERABLY UNDER LESS THAN ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE TO SYNERGISTICALLY KILL HARMFUL AQUATIC NUISANCE SPECIES BY SIMULTANEOUS HYPERCAPNIA, HYPOXIA AND ACIDIC PH LEVEL
    Patent number: 6761123
    Abstract: Aquatic nuisance species (ANS) in ship's ballast water are killed by permeating to equilibrium a gaseous mixture consisting essentially of, preferably, ≧84% nitrogen, ≧11% carbon dioxide and ≦4% oxygen through ship's ballast water until the ballast water itself becomes (i) hypercapnic to ≧20 ppm carbon dioxide, and, by association, (ii) acidic to pH≦7, while preferably further, and also, being rendered (iii) hypoxic to ≦1 ppm oxygen. The permeating is preferably realized by bubbling the gaseous mixture preferably obtained from an inert gas generator through the ballast water over the course of 2+ days while the ballast water is continually maintained a pressure less than atmosphere, preferably −2 p.s.i. or less.
