Proven Design Yields
|
No Shoreline DisturbanceTrenchless techniques are bored from the shore
by means of HDD, damaging neither the seabed nor the surrounding flora and fauna. Natural InfiltrationLateral drains supply high-quality seawater as source water infiltrates through the seafloor before reaching the desalination facility.
|
Continuous High Quality Raw WaterUnder-the-sea intakes provide a continuous flow of raw seawater, since drains are installed laterally into the offshore aquifer.
No Impingement nor EntrainmentA microporous non-corrosive pipe is inserted
20 feet (7 m) below the seafloor. Each HDD drain yields between 1 to 2 MGD of source water without fish larvae, floating hydrocarbons, harmful red tide algal blooms. No contribution of the salt water intruding into the inland aquifer. |
