Submarine seawater intake for SWDP at Punta Cardon, Venezuela

This project covers the fundamental aspects of the design of the seawater intake for the CRP (Centro de Refinación Paraguaná) desalination plant at Punta Cardón, Venezuela. This is a very sheltered bay to the south of the CRP refinery.

The water is conducted from the tower to the pump chamber by means of an underwater immisario made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) laid on the bottom in its deepest part and installed in a trench at the breaker zone of the waves.

Location: Punta Cardón, Estado Falcón, Venezuela

Date: 2008
