这项研究的主要目标是确保这一海底系统将产生 可持续的水量和一致的水质，以及提供信息 优化全面设施的设计。该项目分为两个测试规模， 试点和示范。中试规模的测试使用了8英寸的柱子；结果是 在其他地方介绍（Allen，2008），此处不再讨论。示范规模 测试正在一个近岸设施进行，该设施有两个5英尺深的坑（进水廊道） 尺寸为60英尺乘50英尺，排水廊道尺寸为50英尺乘40英尺）。 演示的目标- 规模测试如下: 确定可维持的最大进气过滤和排气速率 长期（最多6个月）；评估季节性水质对水量和水质的影响 并确定是否需要进一步处理（即。 微滤）。 两个站点的进水水质不同，本文对此进行了介绍。生的 数据显示了原型工厂的微滤（MF）废水质量，该工厂 作为对比进料和脱盐膜的基准结果。 虽然两个地点的原水水质范围不同，但平均 价值观是相似的。包括4个参考文献、表格、图表。

The primary objective for this research is to ensure that this ocean floor system will produce a sustainable quantity of water with a consistent water quality, along with providing information to optimize the design for a full-scale facility. This project is divided into two scales of testing, pilot and demonstration. The pilot-scale testing used 8-inch columns; the results were presented elsewhere (Allen, 2008), and will not be discussed here. The demonstration-scale testing is being conducted at a near-shore facility, with two 5 feet deep pits (intake gallery with a dimension of 60 ft by 50 ft, and discharge gallery with a dimension of 50 ft by 40 ft). The goals of the demonstration-scale testing are as follows: to determine the maximum intake filtration and discharge rate that can be sustained over a long-term period (up to 6 months); and, to evaluate the seasonal water quality impacts on the quantity and quality of water produced from the intake system and determine if further treatment is needed (i.e. microfiltration). The influent water qualities of the two sites are different and are presented in the paper. The raw data are presented with microfiltration (MF) effluent quality from the prototype plant, which serves as benchmark results for comparison of the feed to the desalting membranes. Although the ranges differ between the raw water qualities at the two locations, the average values are similar. Includes 4 references, table, figures.
