1h 40m
In this episode, we have an insight into the essential equipment used at seawater intakes, crucial for the operation of both desalination and power plants. Partnering with Tarnos, we explore the key components that ensure these facilities run smoothly and efficiently. Learn about the installation and functions of stoplogs, bar screens, and traveling band screens, all vital to maintaining optimal water intake.
We also discuss common design parameters and the significance of headlosses, providing valuable insights into the engineering aspects that influence performance. Operations and Maintenance (O&M) considerations are highlighted, ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency of the equipment.
Special attention is given to fish protection measures, a critical factor in many installations. We outline the specific conditions and design adaptations required to safeguard marine life, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
Our episode includes a spotlight on Jubail 3B, one of the world's largest desalination plants, with a capacity exceeding 600,000 m³/day. Discover the scale and complexity of this remarkable facility and how it sets a benchmark in the industry.
