Seawater Intake and Outfalls
The design and selection of seawater intake and outfall systems are crucial, not only for the optimization of pretreatment and overall plant performance, but also for lowering the whole-life cost of water production.
The design challenges range from advanced hydraulic engineering to rigorous marine environmental protection. Success in delivering these projects involves deep expertise in process plant requirements, marine bathymetry, sediment transport, and environmental impact mitigation.
For common intake systems, site selection and marine assessment are essential to identify the degree and type of pretreatment required — particularly regarding suspended solids, debris, biological matters, pollutants, and residual heavy metals. Protec Pacific integrates intake structures, velocity caps, and pipeline hydraulics as one cohesive system.
