Proven Design Yields 
extremely low turbid water as source water

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

Guaranteed for 50+ years service life and 
​Seismic Resistance

No Shoreline Disturbance

Trenchless techniques as intakes are drilled 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 it infiltrates through the seafloor before reaching the desalination facility

Continuous High Quality Raw Water

Under-the-sea intake provides a continuous flow of raw seawater, since drains are installed horizontal in the offshore aquifer

No Impingement nor Entrainment

A microporous pipe is inserted 20 feet below the seafloor.   Each HDD laterals can yield 1 to 2 MGD of source water without fish larvae, floating hydrocarbons, red tide algal blooms.  No contribution or exacerbation of the seawater intruding into the inland aquifer.
