Developing Predictive Cleaning Regimes for Marine Growth in Seawater Intake Pipelines

Clean pipelines are essential to the performance of any desalination plant. Biofouling and marine growth within seawater intakes can quickly reduce flow efficiency and increase operating costs. This presentation outlines how iNPIPE PRODUCTS™, with over 40 years of experience, combines proven mechanical cleaning expertise with predictive technology to deliver tailored solutions. Using its Phoenix SMART Pigging System to measure and visualise internal deposition, marine growth trends can be predicted, allowing effective and environmentally friendly cleaning regimes using mechanical pigs. This integrated approach helps maintain full capacity, minimise disruption and extend the operational life of seawater intake systems.
