1.2.1.2 Drum Screens
One duty and one standby drum screens are provided, each rated for a maximum flow of approximately
180 ML/d of seawater. The flow from the seawater pumps enters a distribution channel upstream of the

screens and is then distributed over inlet weirs into each duty screen. Actuated gates are provided on the
inlet and outlet end of each screen bay to isolate the screens as required. Each screen is slowly rotated
using an electric drive and gearbox and each screen is backwashed by means of a spray bay that
REVISION DESCRIPTION

washes screenings into collection troughs. The screenings then discharge by gravity into drained bins for
disposal off-site. Flow for the wash spray bars is derived from the plant service water system and boosted
to an appropriate pressure using duty and standby screen wash pumps. Adequate spray wash water is
available to allow the simultaneous washing of both screens.

The number of duty screens is selected automatically by the PCS based on the seawater flow set point.

The appropriate inlet and outlet gates are opened and the screen(s) automatically initiated.

Washing of the screens is conducted automatically and is initiated either based on an elapsed time (as

screen inlet channel. The drum is automatically rotated during each wash cycle and the duration of the
wash is also adjustable within the control system.

The PCS will also allow for routine automatic rotation of screen duty/standby mode based on an elapsed
screen run time target that is entered by the operator into the PCS.

Sulphuric acid will be dosed downstream of the drum screens to adjust ambient pH to the

The operator will enter the desired adjusted pH within the PCS. Algorithms within the control

alkalinity. The acid dose will then be paced to the total seawater flow, as measured by as

REVISION VALIDATION

Each dosing pump is equipped with a discharge flow meter. Should the flow rate on the duty
pump discharge fall below a pre-set value, as calculated by algorithms within the PCS, then
the duty pump will automatically shut down and be replaced by the standby pump. Appropriate
alarms will advise the plant operator that appropriate remedial action is required.
