Seawater Discharge Temperature
Seawater Discharge Temperature
(OP)
We want to use seawater as direct cooling water in a Gulf of Mexico offshore platform. Could anybody advise us what is the allowable discharge seawater temperature by regulations?

The maximum seawater temperature 140F is from the equipment and piping point of view. I think there is temperature differential (the temperature difference between seawater inlet and seawater discharge) limitation for protection of ocean life. If we lift seawater at 70F and discharge it at 140F, a lot of fishes in the area will be dead.

I've found BLM folks to be pretty helpful when you contact them on the phone, or even by e-mail.

The report that you linked is really helpful. I found the temperature difference is about 3 oC on Page 87 (I have not and will not read through whole report). I understand the actual value is subject to the approval of the authorities.

Please use closed circuit water, and bring external sea water to cool that closed circuit water.
We understand you would like to gain heat coeffienct and higher temperatur approch and to save cooling area but do not damage the enviroment.
PCHE ( print circuit heat exchanger ) can be your solution
