Screens intake screen systems

Chlorination to a residual of 0.5 p.p.m. is widely used. It is required to prevent fouling of the Monel or bronze intake screens, the ducts, pipes, etc., throughout the system. Experience has shown that chlorination, unless carefully controlled to low residuals, tends to increase the corrosivity of saline waters. 

Equipment Maintenance. Although users of forced-air cooling towers avoid some of the service problems common for atmospheric cooling towers, maintenance of fans, motors and water inlet nozzles is still necessary. A once-through system eliminates these costs but also increases the load on the water intake screening equipment. Water pump maintenance should be equal for both systems. 

Pump sets, intake screens and filters, valves, manifold, crane Piping prefabrication and erection with supports, connections to heat exchangers (interfaces with other systems) Cabling and connections, earthing, cathodic protection Low suction level and vibration protection on pumpsets, pressure and flow measuring systems, cabling, etc. 

Unlike large hydroelectric plants, micro-hydro systems do not require a dam and reservoir, which minimize their environmental damage. A portion of the river s flow is diverted to the micro-hydro intake. A settling tank may be used to allow silt to settle out of the water. A screen or bars screen out floating debris and fish. The water then flows through a channel, pipeline,... 

Stringent regulatory requirements in the United States often require the incorporation of fish protection facilities at power plant intakes. There are three different concepts that can be used fish collection and removal, fish diversion, and fish deterrance. The incorporation of fish protection systems at specific sites can necessitate modifications to conventional intake designs. Such modifications can influence screen-well layouts and selection of screens and pumps, and in certain cases require model studies to develop design criteria which will ensure that fish protection facilities will be biologically effective and not adversely affect plant operations. 9 refs, cited. 

As part of program control, all cooling systems should employ certain items of fixed equipment, for example, coarse and fine screens, in cooling tower sump water boxes and recirculating pump suction intake areas. 

Weather conditions at a spill site have a major effect on the efficiency of skimmers. All skimmers work best in calm waters. Depending on the type of skimmer, most will not work effectively in waves greater than 1 m or in currents exceeding 1 knot. Most skimmers do not operate effectively in waters with ice or debris such as branches, seaweed, and floating waste. Some skimmers have screens around the intake to prevent debris or ice from entering, conveyors or similar devices to remove or deflect debris, and cutters to deal with seaweed. Very viscous oils, tar balls, or oiled debris can clog the intake or entrance of skimmers and make it impossible to pump oil from the skimmer s recovery system. 

Figure 11.11 Schematic representation of a piston-driven HPLC pump. Check valves are designed to open and close in response to pressure. They do so by having fluid flow move a small ball, usually of synthetic ruby, from a place where it is firmly seated on a ceramic funnel-like cylindrical element that blocks fluid flow, to a position where it can rest against a highly porous screen-like ceramic element. During the intake phase of the pump stroke, as the piston withdraws from the piston chamber, back pressure (i.e., fluid pressure between the outlet check valve and the ultimate outlet of the detector(s)) forces the outlet check valve to close and allow mobile phase to enter the piston chamber. During the delivery phase, the piston enters the piston chamber and pressurizes it. This causes the inlet check valve to close and allows the outlet check valve to open once the back pressure in the system is exceeded by the fluid pressure in the piston chamber. This allows the mobile phase to be driven through the system. The piston seais prevent fluid from ieaking past the piston into the piston drive motor mechanism.

I considered and rejected many ideas for tapping the culverts. One was a multi-holed metal pipe running along the floor of the culvert for some distance. Or several of them. Or extending a lip out from the culvert with its lower portion screened to funnel water into a pipe. Or some kind of partition (dam) to block part of the flow. Each had its merits and shortcomings. The fact that a sediment barrel existed in the system— and that it incorporated two stages of filtering for the intake—helped me see that whatever system diverted the water could also initially handle mud, sand, and rocks up to 1 inch in size. For this reason, I elected to fab-... 

Parenteral administration is an abnormal mode of alimentation. With regard to amino acid intake, the normal sequence of events involves metabolic changes in the intestine and screening of the incoming amino acids by the liver before they pass into the peripheral circulation. Once in the systemic plasma, the level of free amino acids is only moderately elevated after each protein meal of normal composition, thus implying that tissue removal of amino acids is adequate to prevent accumulation when the amino acid supply is delivered at a steady rate by way of the intestinal tract. 

Planetary coolers Acoustic screening wall with ventilation openings or fixed enclosure with ventilating fans, or movable enclosure around noisiest part of the cooler, provided (if necessary) with cooling fans if no water spraying system for cooling the tubes is installed. A more radical solution is to accommodate the whole kiln and planetary cooler in a closed sound-insulated building with air intake fans and with exhaust air outlets provided with sound attenuators (silencers) (see Funke, 1973).
