摘要 |
The invention relates to a method and a device for preparing sea or ocean water from great depths beneath the sea level, wherein sea or ocean water is preferably used as cooling and/or heating medium in different processes. According to the invention, sea or ocean water is conveyed from a depth of 500 to 50 m, preferably 300 to 100 m below the sea level, to the desired level above or beneath the sea level using at least one sea or ocean water pipeline. The pipeline preferably consists of a polymer synthetic material, especially polyethylene, PVC or a polymer reinforced with glass fiber. The sea or ocean water can be pumped using at least one pump at a pressure higher that the existing sea or ocean water pressure at the end of the pipeline. Preferably, sea or ocean fauna and/or flora are removed from the sea or ocean water before or immediately after admission into the sea or ocean water pipeline. |
