Wedge Wire Self-Cleaning Water Passive Intake Screen for Desalination

The wedge wire self-cleaning water passive intake screen has emerged as the preferred solution for seawater desalination operations due to its reliability, efficiency, and environmentally friendly design.

A passive intake screen is a submerged filtration system used to draw seawater into desalination plants while protecting aquatic life and minimizing debris intake. 

Unlike traditional filtration systems, passive screens operate without mechanical parts, which reduces maintenance needs and energy consumption. The self-cleaning function of wedge wire technology ensures uninterrupted water flow, making it ideal for reverse osmosis plants and other continuous operations.

Why Choose a Wedge Wire Screen?

The wedge wire passive intake screen is constructed using stainless steel vee-wire, known for its corrosion resistance and longevity in harsh marine environments. This design features a low-velocity intake, compliant with EPA 316(b) environmental regulations, and has been proven to reduce harm to aquatic life.

Some of the standout benefits of wedge wire intake screens for desalination applications include:

Self-Cleaning Capability

Durability

Environmental Compliance

Ease of Installation

High Flow Capacity

Applications of Water Intake Screen in Desalination

Desalination water intake filters are critical in ensuring clean, particulate-free water reaches the treatment plant. Wedge wire self-cleaning screens are especially effective in coastal desalination facilities, where sand, algae, and marine life pose significant filtration challenges. These systems also suit industrial seawater filtration and marine water intake for cooling processes and aquaculture.

Whether for a large-scale municipal plant or an industrial water processing facility, passive wedge wire intake filters offer a low-maintenance, eco-friendly, and cost-effective solution. Their ability to function continuously without requiring external power or manual cleaning makes them a smart investment for any operation relying on seawater intake.
