Zusammenfassung: | A sea water intake system comprising a main sea water intake pipe (6), one end of the sea water intake pipe being provided with a centrifugal chamber (3), the chamber having at least one tangential inlet (5) for entry of sea water to cause rotation of the sea water in the chamber. The other end of the intake pipe terminates in a sump (17), the sump having a water level lower than that of sea level and having a pump (8) to transport sea water from the sump through a delivery pipe (9) to a treatment plant. A central region of the centrifugal chamber (3) is in fluid communication with a substantially vertical airlift pipe (4) having an air inlet (30) at, or close, to the chamber and a water exit remote from the chamber. |
