  1. American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge No maintenance associated with the InvisiHead, no expenses and cheaper than the O&M-intensive wedge wire screen and mesh intakes

  2. Seaweed Proliferation Because of Global Warming, climate is changing so is seaweed growth

  3. Loose floating seaweed clog intake screens Seaweeds are taking over a once sandy floor

  4. Sea weeds are deadly to mesh screens and wedge wire intakes when they become waterborne; sediments go unhindered through screen mesh wire The InvisiHead is weed and sediment proof

  5. The Screen Clogging Weeds that tangle in wedge wire screens when they become waterborne. They are not cleared off by airbursts. The InvisiHead is unaffected by them The saame goes for travling and band sceens

  6. Seaweeds mature by the end of summer and start braking up in the fall threating open channel and screened and wedge wire intakes

  7. Buoyancy of seaweed fluctuates throughout the water column. The weeds do not affect the InvisiHead or hinder its operation but deadly to wedge wire screens

  8. Dense dead seaweed washes-up near the shore and becomes an operational nightmare for seawater users

  9. Jellyfish problems?

  10. That’s all you need, simply natural and easy In the proactive American Eco Systems’ Elmosa Seawater intake system: elements A (the InvisiHead) & B (the NatSep), is all you need to supply any quantity of high quality raw water A B The InvisiHead No maintenance or maintenance expenses for life, low capital cost, robust structure, supported for G5 hurricane force useful life: 50+ years

  11. The InvisiHead Intake Head US EPA: Best Technology Available (BTA) Robust and stable under all operating conditions • The InvisiHead manages and controls the quality of the intake system • Passive operation, no parts or moving parts to replace ; • Self-operating & maintaining for life of over 50 years; • No Maintenance or O&M expenses associated.

  12. The IH is hydraulically invisible to suspended materials • Super slow approach and entrance velocity (0.002 and 0.09 m/s) guarantee the absolute minimum if any of: • Fish, jellyfish, sand, • Seaweed & debris to enter • the intake system; • The IH system has been • upgraded in 2013 to have the sequence • of the four flow phases better • tuned to eliminate marine life like fish & • jellyfish, sediment and debris inflow; • System maintenance-free operation • makes money by saving O&M expenses. • The InvisiHead is also cheaper to buy than wedge wire screens. The InvisiHead: Self-operating, Self-maintaining • The flow goes through 4 phases: • Approach, 0.002m/s, • Entrance – 0.09m/s’ • Stabilization – 0.11m/s, • Steady State – intake pipe V.

  13. The IH is hydraulically invisible to suspended materials, super slow entrance velocity (0.09 m/s max), absolute minimum of: Seaweed, Sand, Fish, Mussels, Trash & debris Meets and exceeds US EPA Standards • Radial 3-D diffusion of effluent funneling out in multi directionality; • High heat transfer rate allows quick attainment of equilibrium conditions and achieves the required dilution within the vicinity of the outfall; • Ideal for power plant cooling water and RO brine discharge; • Ideal for deep sea discharge of treated industrial and municipal effluents; • Effluent and outfall pipe can be bundled with intake pipes to reduce construction costs.

  14. The InvisiHead can be fitted directly to pump intake pipes to work as efficient strainers and outfalls in platforms and offshore installations intake Either hanging or outfall

  15. The InvisiHead systems used as efficient and non clogging strainer intake Or fixed to the sea floor or outfall

  16. Any suspended solids flow into the intake pipe as part of the flow will settle near the upstream end of the NatSep. • Clean high quality water flows into the pump chamber; • Screening systems are completely eliminated; • NatSep allows uninterrupted operation during cleanup; • NatSep cleaned once in about 5 years for one day.

  17. Simple and Natural From the Plant, InvisiHead Diffuser, Syphon Chamber The AES system is all passive, screen-less and contains no moving parts. The system starts at the InvisiHead and ends at the NatSep as an intake and starts at siphon chamber and ends at the InvisiHead diffuser as an outfall. No O&M or any related expenses involved at the IH. We design the pipes to be self-cleansing. No bio growth or sediments and debris settlement inside the intake and discharge pipes To Plant, Clean water NatSep, Open Sea, InvisiHead Intake Head HDPE or GRP, Elmosa, The Waves Company Elmosa-American Eco Systems, LLC 540 Centre St., Nutley, NJ 07110, USA T. +1 973  563-7270www.amecosys.com, www.amecosys.com/elmosa We at American Eco Systems we design seawater intakes and outfalls to be maintenance – free, to provide full flow capacity under all operation and weather conditions non-stop for over 50 years The system is environmental-friendly and supports biodiversity, the 4-compartment NatSep delivers clean water to the pumps.

  18. The InvisiHead makes money since no O&M is involved; it pays back its capital in a few months into operation Elmosa proactive system operating expenses saved

  19. CONCLUSION Why the InvisiHead is a Best Technology Available BTA as designated by the US EPA Flow sequence: 4 phases: PHASE I. Approach starts at about 5m away from the entrance; streamlines take off stealthily from the seafloor at 0.002m/s-too slow to disturb or attract sediment, fish eggs, larvae, and debris; PHASE II. Entrance at 0.09m/s too slow to attract, fish, Jellyfish, seaweeds, sand and debris; PHASE III. Stabilization: IH outlet at 0.11m/s out of phase by 90 of local currents flow is much slower than the currents to let fish, Jellyfish, sediment and debris if the stray in they end up in the ambient again through the opposite end; PHASE IV. Steady State for clear naturally filtered high quality water to flow to the plant. No fish mortality+0$ on O&M = BTA.
