The InvisiHead is a key component in the intake system.

• Low approach velocity  0.0027 m/s (0.009 fps) max. at 5 meters away;
• Low entrance velocity 0.091 m/s (0.3 fps) max.;
• Negligible head loss at 0.17 mm;
• Maximizes pumping efficiency;
• Component form for assembly at site;
• Variable flow phases to
  • promote head loss reduction that results in:
    • smaller pipelines,
    • shallower intake basin,
    • less debris inflow, 
    • the elimination of the need for backwash. 
  • further reduce debris inflow;
  • perform self cleansing.
• Stainless steel construction;
• Built-in anti biofouling chemical dispensing system;
• No screens are used at any stage of the InvisiHead;
• Adaptability for use in industrial effluent outlets and outfalls; 
• Can be retrofitted to existing systems;
• Immune to oil spills;
• Low initial cost;
• Lower O&M costs;
• Less debris present in the cooling water including sand hence lower potential for erosion of heat exchanger tubes and pump vanes; 
• Drastic reduction of chemical consumption including chlorine due to the oxidizable material load reduction; 
• Drastic reduction of entrained air in the cooling water and less oxygen would be present in the water, hence lower potential for corrosion and lower frequency for air evacuation process;
• Marine life preservation; 
• Maintenance costs are much lower, no traveling or fixed screens are included, and therefore, no longer deferential pressure activation mechanism is required, no backwash at all; 
• Higher cooling efficiency since the water brought in from deep locations is cooler than the beach water; 
• Storms have no negative effect on the system; 
• The standard outfall channel is replaced by a much more efficient diffusing system that ensures adequate mixing and efficient heat dispersion. The heat plume does not reach the surface and it is confined to the area close to the point source eliminating any adverse effects on the environment;
• Robust and stable under all weather conditions;
• Especially fit for use in hurricane regions;
• Meets and exceeds world-wide environmental requirements.
