Title:
SYNTHETIC INFILTRATION COLLECTION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2007059240
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
The present invention is a filtered seawater collection system (10) for installation at seaside locations. TMs system filters undesirable elements from seawater including garbage, debris, volatile organics and biologies such as toxic algaes. The resulting filtered seawater is then pumped to a desalination plant for de-salting. This system (10) comprises a subterranean reservoir (12) installed at a sheltered location, such as behind a set of dunes (14). A borehole (32) is created by directional drilling, the borehole (32) breaking through the surf line (30) and into open ocean (24). A pipe (20) is laid extending from the reservoir (12) out to the open ocean (24). The pipe (20) ends in an intake (42), which is overlapped by gravel packets (50) which act as filtration media. The intake (42) receives water filtered through the gravel packets (50), which is transported through the pipe (20) to the reservoir (12).
