Hubert water intake systems

Reliable and efficient solutions for industrial water intake.

Hubert supplies complete water intake systems for the mechanical cleaning and filtration of water from the sea, rivers and lakes. Our systems remove all types of dirt, jellyfish and mussels from the intake water, thus optimally protecting pumps, heat exchangers, desalination membranes and other downstream processes from clogging, wear and tear and failure.

Our water intake solutions are a crucial part of installations in power plants, drinking water production, desalination and in the (petrochemical) industry.

Features

A Hubert water intake system functions as an integrated screening line in which the inflowing raw water is treated incrementally to ensure a stable and controlled process water flow. After entering the intake channel, the system can be closed with a stoplog or sluice gate, allowing the entire channel section to be safely dry for inspection and maintenance. Pre-filtration then takes place through a coarse screen where debris is removed.

In the subsequent filtration stage, the water is passed through a micro-screen where the particle size is reduced to around two to three millimetres to ensure a continuous flow to the process.

This layered configuration creates a water intake system with high operational reliability, minimal downtime and long-term resistance in both freshwater and marine environments.
