Passive Intake Screen for Efficient and Sustainable Water Capture

Passive intake screens offer an advanced filtration solution for capturing water from rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and seas while maintaining minimal visual impact. Designed with a submergible static filter, these intake screens are constructed from durable stainless steel, featuring a smooth surface composed of V-shaped profiles. With no moving parts and a low suction velocity, they require only a small inlet diameter, making them an efficient, low-maintenance choice for various water intake systems.

Superior Protection for Industrial and Municipal Applications

As the first line of defense in water intake systems, passive intake screens safeguard municipal, industrial, irrigation, and hydropower facilities. These screens, using wedge wire construction, protect aquatic life, including fish, while preventing harmful debris from entering pumps and turbines. 

Intake Screening systems are essential for large-scale water use in facilities such as:

Fossil-fuel and nuclear power plants

Drinking water treatment facilities

Refineries and heavy industrial plants

Run-of-River Intake Systems: Minimal Environmental Impact

Run-of-river intake systems are an environmentally friendly method of water capture that requires little to no water storage. Commonly used in high-elevation areas, these systems offer lower civil installation costs while maintaining ecological balance. A passive run-of-river intake typically includes a small dam and head pond, ideally suited for Coanda screens, which enhance filtration efficiency with minimal maintenance.

Innovative Cylindrical Screens for High-Capacity Intakes

Submerged cylindrical intake screens are designed for large-capacity water capture. These passive screens distribute suction evenly across the screen surface, reducing clogging and minimizing environmental impact. With no moving parts underwater, they provide long-lasting, reliable service.

Application Highlights

Irrigation Diversion Systems

Water T-screens for large-scale irrigation diversions effectively manage high water volumes while ensuring fish safety and debris exclusion.

Power Plants

Custom slot-size drum screens provide efficient cooling water intake solutions, tailored to meet specific power plant requirements.

Hydropower Facilities

Slot V-wire T-screens offer durable, high-performance solutions for hydropower tunnel intakes, ensuring smooth operation and reduced maintenance.

Desalination Plants

Wedge wire drum screens and intake systems are optimized for seawater desalination in mining operations, delivering superior filtration.

Municipal Water Systems

Turnkey design-build projects replace traditional traveling screens with advanced T-screens, enhancing performance and reliability.
