Hubert water intake systems

Reliable and efficient solutions for industrial water intake.

Hubert designs and supplies complete water intake systems for power plants, desalination facilities, drinking‑water production and industrial cooling applications. These systems ensure the safe, reliable and efficient extraction of large volumes of water from rivers, lakes or seawater sources, while protecting downstream equipment such as pumps, condensers and filtration units.

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

Features

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

In the subsequent filtration stage, the water passes through a micro-screen, reducing the particle size to approximately two to three millimetres and ensuring a continuous flow to the process.

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