cooling water intake, Power plant, seaweed screening

Seaweed screening for power plant cooling water intake

This coastal powerplant relies on salt water intake for process cooling via heat exchangers.

The intake filtration system could not handle the large volumes of seaweed and waterborne debris. A SPIROGUARD^® CS Channel Screen and SPIROTAINER^® were installed to automatically screen and contain the seawater solids. This project was unusual in that the SPIROTAINER was fabricated of 316SS. This system has been in operation since 2002.

What They Are Saying

SPIRACs engineers had an uncompromising commitment to develop and manufacture a leading inlet works solution within time and budget, allowing us to develop a sustainable plant for the future

Great system. We have it onsite at Rubyanna WWTP, recommend them for any plants for the future or even retrofitting! Flawless and easy! Also recommend SPIROTAINER. Less than 5 minutes from entering site with one and leaving with a full one! Great idea guys.
