Is the old discharge system a likely source of particles?

0

Particles could have lodged in the old discharge system which includes a diffusion chamber which sits 25 m below the seabed, 600m offshore in water 23m deep. The risers from this chamber were plugged in 1999, but it is known that this did not isolate the system. This system has not been used routinely since 1992 when a new set of discharge pipes and discharge manifold were installed. There is a potential for particles to reside in the old discharge system and a project is underway to consider how best to deal with the old diffuser. At present water flows are so low this is unlikely to be a continuing source.
