Title:
OFFSHORE WATER INTAKE AND DISCHARGE STRUCTURES MAKING USE OF A POROUS PIPE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/131912
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A porous pipe for use in offshore water intake and discharge systems is provided, which is able to strain and filter water directly within the water body along the length of the pipe. Features of the porous pipe can be designed to optimize performance and flow rates for the particular environment, including the pore distribution and diameter along the pipe, the wall thickness and materials along the pipe; and the placement of piezoelectric devices to vibrate the pipe wall to remove impinged debris from pores.
