Water Intake Filter Screen

T-intake screens with flexible, cost-effective designs. Flow modifiers maximize flow equalization, reduce head loss and minimize costs. For shallow-water applications, we offer a patented* half-barrel intake screen. This screen has the same flow characteristics as the T-intake screens, but it’s designed for shallow creeks and rivers where the full-size version won’t work.

Drum-style intake screens are ideal for use in lakes and reservoirs where there isn’t a linear flow pattern.  They are also the best solution for installations where there are space restrictions that won’t allow a T-intake style screen to be utilized.  Drum screens can be installed vertically or horizontally and can be customized based on a specific project’s intake requirements.

Benefits of Our Water Intake Filter Screens:

· Passive — no moving parts

· Reduced operating costs

· Minimum clogging

· Maximum water flow

· Multiple designs accommodate deep to shallow depths

· Compliant with Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act

· Airburst cleaning system available

· Available in corrosion-resistant materials

Copper-Nickel Water Intake Screens

Profile Bar and Resistance Welded Wedge Wire water intake screens that are made with copper-nickel. Copper-nickel differs from other alloys, delivering practical and economical advantages with high reliability. Hendrick uses 90/10 and 70/30 copper-nickel alloys, which are widely used for sea water applications and environments.

Benefits:

ADDED CORROSION RESISTANCE: If marine corrosion is a concern, especially in saltwater conditions, water intake screens made from copper-nickel will minimize the corrosion rate. Failure due to stress corrosion cracking (SCC), crevice and general corrosion is greatly reduced.

RESISTANCE TO BIOFOULING: The accumulation of biological matter on the intake screen can restrict water flow, decreasing its efficiency. Copper-nickel is proven to provide an unwelcoming environment for organisms, leading to reduced biofouling and increased performance.

Passive Water Intake Screens

Passive screening admits water through the intake point at a low, uniform velocity. Water passes through the water intake screen while debris and aquatic life remain in the water. Screens may be placed far from the shore for better water quality and lower concentrations of marine life and debris. With no moving parts, passive screens are reliable and easy to maintain.
