Proven Design Yields 
extremely low turbid water as source water

The company utilizes horizontal directional drilling techniques from shore 
and proprietary methods to insert micro-porous intakes below the seafloor.  
The natural filtering leads to lower operation and maintenance costs
 as well as a smaller footprint and energy consumption. 

Guaranteed for 50+ years service life and 
​Seismic Resistance

No Shoreline Disturbance

Trenchless techniques are bored from the shore
​by means of HDD, damaging neither the seabed nor the surrounding flora and fauna.

Natural Infiltration

Lateral drains supply high-quality seawater as source water infiltrates through the seafloor before reaching the desalination facility.

Continuous High Quality Raw Water

Under-the-sea intakes provide a continuous flow of raw seawater, since drains are installed laterally into the offshore aquifer.

No Impingement nor Entrainment

A 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.
