Open intakes are the ubiquitous, 65-year old technology still in use by the overwhelming majority of seawater projects. Any project which functions and operates on the basis of a seawater supply (e.g. Desalination, District cooling, Nuclear, Agricultural, etc.) will benefit when TELESIS has been chosen as an alternate seawater supply method; immense, transforming benefits that TELESIS is often uniquely positioned to deliver. By working with nature, TELESIS transforms the project business plan profoundly. DESALINATION . We reduce the energy consumption by 20-30% and the operational costs are reduced by even greater amounts. DISTRICT COOLING. TELESIS sub seabed water is a renewable energy source and by successfully tapping into this, we reduce Capex by 30% and Opex by 60%. NUCLEAR . Aside from the all-important security and resilience advantages, TELESIS will provide a 2 percentage-point increase in efficiency and a power increase of about 5%. AGRICULTURAL . We can provide everything required to achieve off-grid farming. Integrated Fish and arable agriculture can ONLY be achieved with TELESIS. TELESIS is a multiple revenue service. It combines the services above simultaneously and because we do not need (and therefore do not use) biocides, it additionally delivers the considerable revenue available from Mineral recovery . These advantages (3-revenues) result in an investment that pays for itself, often with a payback of as little as two-years. Open intakes on the other hand, are a massive budgetary burden, e.g. the 20-25% of a Desalination plant Capex and the multiple millions required to keep it functioning 24/7 over 30 years are never recovered. TELESIS provides unparalleled resilience , whereas, the destructive and discredited open intakes are the source of an astonishing 95% of all operational failures. These failures result from any one of a great number and variety of events to which only open intakes are susceptible.  Our natural filter, the seabed, is self-maintained through the actions of waves, tides, currents and storms and this natural filter prevents any form of marine ecology from being harmed or affected in any way. The sub seabed location of our drains (or screens) provides exceptional defence against ALL of the causes of an open intake shut down. Furthermore, the design of the TELESIS drains allow for simple, effective and non-   disruptive maintenance. TELESIS is an extraordinarily robust system that will have an Asset Ownership Life (including Economic Life and Service Life) measured in many hundreds of years. TELESIS has impeccable green technology credentials. We provide water without any environmental harm and this, combined with our immense life cycle duration is the very definition of sustainability.   For enquiries, please contact        Ron Daniel, General Manager ron.daniel@composium-group.com                    ; +974 3306 3433
