The silt protector is an indispensable anti-pollution system in marine planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the recent shift to performance-based technical standards, \u201cDraft Technical Data on Pollution Control Membranes\u201d was published in September 2013 and posted on the website of the Port and Airport Research and Development Center (PARC) to make it widely known to all those involved in offshore construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This draft technical document summarizes the standard approach to design, fabrication, quality control, installation, maintenance, removal and reuse of anti-pollution membranes. Particular attention is paid to performance verification, quality control, and maintenance. In recent years, the reuse of anti-pollution membranes is strongly recommended to reduce construction waste. The book also details performance verification, quality control, and maintenance management methods for reused anti-pollution membranes (rental products), which have not been clearly defined in the past.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fixed hanging type anti-pollution membrane<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The fixed hanging type is the most commonly used type in which the curtain part is lowered into the water from the float part floating on the water surface.
The mooring section is used to stabilize the anti-pollution membrane horizontally by mooring force, and consists of an anchor rope to moor the membrane and an anchor to fix it to the seabed. Wire rope or synthetic fiber rope is used for the anchor rope. Anchors must also satisfy the required resistance force, and durability and corrosion resistance must also be considered.
Cushioning buoys are sometimes used to avoid contact between the curtain and the anchor rope, to reduce the weight of the anchor rope acting on the tension section, and to absorb shock when an impact pulling force is applied.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    In September 2013, the rental quality regulations in the draft Pollution Control Membrane Technical Document were revised. It recommends the reuse of pollution control membranes and defines the strength of curtain articles to ensure quality. It also mentions strength certification by a third-party organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    *Curtain strength is calculated based on the \u201cPollution Control Curtain Tensile Strength Evaluation System\u201d. Curtain strength is calculated based on the \u201cPollution Control Membrane Reuse Curtain Tensile Strength Evaluation System.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    We have installed tensile testers in our rental shipping yards to check curtain residual strength through sampling. IC tags are attached to the curtains to enable us to check the installation history at all times. By managing rental products of anti-pollution membranes with sufficient technical know-how, we continue to maintain a reliable supply system in terms of quality and inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Floating type hanging form anti-pollution membrane<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Floating type hanging form is a type of anti-pollution membrane that has a hanging curtain and a float section that can float or sink.
    Moorings consist of anchor ropes and anchors, buffer buoys are often used, and concrete blocks are often used as anchors for moorings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The float part is made of synthetic rubber and can be raised or lowered by inserting or removing air in the float. The cross-sectional structure of the floating type is the same as that of the fixed hanging type. For connection between floating and sinking type anti-pollution membranes, mounting fittings are used together with supply and exhaust piping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The float of Taiyo Kogyo\u2019s floating silt protector can be selected between a conventional one-chamber structure and a more reliable two-chamber structure. and durability.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

    Bucket Protector\u201d frame-type anti-pollution membrane (anti-pollution frame)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The frame type is a type of anti-pollution membrane with a curtain part hanging down from the bottom of a float part made of steel pipe, etc. It is used in dredging operations by grab dredgers, etc. to prevent partial pollution at dredging points. It is used for partial pollution prevention of dredging area in dredging operation by grab dredger.
    The curtain section of a framed anti-pollution membrane must be sufficiently secure against the tension forces generated. In addition, performance verification must be performed for the actions that occur in the curtain section.<\/p>\n\n\n
