Power Station Effects - Operational concerns of power generation

Impingement & screen blocking

From an operational viewpoint, impingement can be sufficient to cause screen blockage, damage to filtration equipment and a disruption in the water supply. Examples where this has occurred are sprat (Sprattus sprattus) impingement at Dungeness nuclear power station, England and jellyfish impingement in power stations in the Middle East. There have even been cases of blockage by starfish, seaweed and bryozoans.

Pisces have produced expert system software to predict conditions when blockages are likely so that appropriate preventive action can be taken - please contact us.
