American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and DischargeNo maintenance associated with the InvisiHead, no expenses and cheaper than the O&M-

intensive wedge wire screen and mesh intakes

Page 2: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

Seaweed ProliferationBecause of Global Warming, climate is changing so is seaweed

growth

Page 3: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

Seaweeds are taking over a once sandy floor

Loose floating seaweed clog intake screens

Page 4: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

Sea weeds are deadly to mesh screens and wedge wire intakes when they become waterborne;

sediments go unhindered through screen mesh wireThe InvisiHead is weed and sediment proof

Page 5: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge
Page 6: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

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

Page 7: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

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

Page 8: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

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

Page 9: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

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

The InvisiHead

A B

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

That’s all you need, simply natural and easy

No maintenance or maintenance expenses for life, low capital

cost, robust structure, supported for G5 hurricane force

useful life: 50+ years

Page 12: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

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.

US EPA: Best Technology Available (BTA)

The InvisiHead Intake Head

Robust and stable under all operating conditions

Page 13: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

The IH is hydraulically invisible to suspended materialsSuper 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 beenupgraded in 2013 to have the sequence of the four flow phases bettertuned to eliminate marine life like fish & jellyfish, sediment and debris inflow; System maintenance-free operationmakes money by saving O&M expenses.

The InvisiHead is also cheaper to buy than wedge wire screens.

The flow goes through 4 phases: Approach, 0.002m/s, Entrance – 0.09m/s’ Stabilization – 0.11m/s, Steady State – intake pipe V.

The InvisiHead: Self-operating, Self-maintaining

Page 14: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

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

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.

Meets and exceeds US EPA Standards

Page 15: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

The InvisiHead can be fitted directly to pump intake pipes to work as efficient strainers and outfalls in platforms and offshore

installations

Either hanging

or outfall

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.

Simple and Natural

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 yearsThe system is environmental-friendly and supports biodiversity, the 4-compartment NatSep delivers clean water to the pumps.

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

Elmosa proactive system operating expenses saved

The InvisiHead makes money since no O&M is involved; it pays back its capital in a few months into operation

Page 20: American Eco Systems Revolutionizes the Operations of Seawater Withdrawal and Discharge

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.

Why the InvisiHead is a Best Technology Available BTA as designated by the US EPA
