Water intake

Water intake: taking your needs into account

Raw water to be desalted, either sea water or brackish water will be taken from natural resource and pumped to pre-treatment stage. For sea water abstraction, different intake arrangements can be considered, which will define the pump type to be installed.

SWRO water intake

In open intakes, vertical turbine pumps will be installed in wet pit. Based on specific project requirements, dry sump installation either with negative or positive suction lifts may be arranged. In those cases, dry installed pumps will be installed, either in horizontal or vertical arrangement. In sea water intakes from beach wells as well as for intakes for brackish water, typically from underground aquifers, borehole pumps will be used.

The next part of the Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) process is Pre-treatment.
