Geiger® High-Capacity Drum Screens for Seawater Water Intake at the Yanbu Refinery
This 2018 contract was a RETROFIT project. Two existing drum screens were replaced by the further developed Geiger® High-Capactiy Drum Screens.
These were tailor-made so that a smooth integration into the existing civil structure became possible without additional modifications. The project duration from order placement to delivery was a record-breaking 5 months only for fully engineered seawater intake screens.
Solution
The Geiger® High-Capacity Drum Screens were installed without modifying the existing concrete structure. Since both existing drum screens were out of order and no longer able to run, the customer needed two new large drum screens at short notice to ensure the functionality of the plant. Following da detailed survey, the Geiger® High-Capacity Drum Screens were designed, manufactured and installed in a record time of less than 5 months.
