Mr. Mansuri, Seawater ...

Mr. Mansuri,

Seawater intake takes non-stop water to the Pump Station, and in some days with turbulence or storms, the water has more sand particles in suspension that arrives to the pump station. From there, Pump takes water and when some sand goes into the pump, it could be damage. That's why pump stations should have some way to remove this sand out. You can find locks or floodgates to allow the access for manual removal or some devices (cyclotrons, conveyors,...) to remove this sand out as well as in the construction (Civil works) you can find some channels with another botón edge or level in order to avoid sand dispersion and concentrate the sand in some places to control its levels as well as maintenance remove it (By manual or by mechanical means.

You can find it in quite all Pump Stations, and when it was not done, they claim to the engineering... Cyclones are a good solution as well as conveyor and bar screen.

Regards,
