The invention aims at providing a horizontal
ballast water filtering device with a pleated filter screen. The horizontal
ballast water filtering device with the pleated filter screen comprises a
barrel, a
front cover plate, a back cover plate, a filter core, a hollow
sewage discharge shaft and a
sewage discharge chamber, wherein the
front cover plate is fixed to the front end part of the
barrel; the back cover plate is fixed to the back end part of the
barrel; filter core clamping ports are formed in the front end and the back end of the inner part of the barrel respectively; the filter core is mounted between the filter core clamping ports in the front end and the back end; a water inlet is formed in the
front cover plate; a water outlet is formed in the barrel; one part of the hollow
sewage discharge shaft stretches from the back cover plate into the barrel, and the other part of the hollow
sewage discharge shaft is positioned outside the back cover plate and is fixed by a rotating shaft mounting port on the back cover plate; the
sewage discharge chamber is formed in the end part of the hollow
sewage discharge shaft; a sewage discharge
pipe is mounted below the sewage discharge chamber; a sewage suction
pipe stretches out of the hollow sewage discharge shaft; a sewage suction head is mounted on the end part of the sewage suction
pipe. The horizontal
ballast water filtering device with the pleated filter screen has a small floor area, can effectively solve the blocking problem caused by
filtration, has a good effect of filtering suspended plants and animals in ballast water, can achieve simultaneous operation of
filtration and backflushing and shortens the
operating cycle.
