Seawater Intake and Discharge
Given the high salt content in seawater, the primary concern in submarine applications is corrosion. SUPERLIT provides superior solutions in seawater intake and discharge projects with its Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester (GRP) pipes. GRP pipes are distinguished by their design, which is resistant to saltwater corrosion.
Having successfully produced GRP pipes with a diameter of DN4000 and executed the installation of such large diameters underwater, SUPERLIT has become a preferred brand in submarine applications due to its experience and success. In addition to providing active field support for land-based projects, SUPERLIT also manages the necessary supervision and follow-up of underwater installation works with its in-house submarine personnel, directly contributing to the application areas of the material through its after-sales services.
High Pressure Resistance: GRP pipes, which can be designed to withstand high pressures even in large diameters, are adaptable to the needs of intake and diffuser structures.
Deep Burial Capability: GRP pipes can be produced with the desired stiffness, allowing for deep burial and adaptation to challenging underwater conditions.
Hydraulic Advantage: The large wetted cross-sectional area provides a hydraulic advantage, enabling the fast and efficient transport of water.
Corrosion Resistance: GRP pipes do not corrode underwater, are unaffected by chlorine, and do not oxidize. Different resin types can provide resistance to various chemicals.
Easy and Fast Installation: The patented SUPERLIT marine-lug® connections allow for easy and fast installation, whether on land or on a floating barge before being submerged.
Low Maintenance Costs: The smooth surface of GRP pipes prevents the accumulation of sediment, minimizing maintenance and cleaning costs.
Long Service Life: The long service life of GRP pipes offers a reliable and economical solution in seawater intake and discharge projects.
Adaptability to Ground Movements: GRP pipes are adaptable to ground movements, ensuring safe use even during earthquakes and other geological activities.
SUPERLIT's GRP pipes offer distinct advantages over other pipe systems in seawater intake and discharge projects with these superior features. Choose SUPERLIT GRP pipes to achieve the best performance and long-lasting solutions in your seawater intake and discharge projects.
