Abstraction Screens
General Summary
An abstraction screen is designed to prevent fish from swimming or being drawn into an aqueduct, cooling water intake, dam or other diversion on a river, lake or waterway where water is taken for human use. They are built to supply debris-free water without harming aquatic life.
Applications
Fish screens are typically installed to protect endangered species of fishes that would otherwise be harmed or killed when passing through industrial facilities such as steam electric power plants, hydroelectricgenerators, petroleum refineries, chemical plants, farm irrigation water and municipal drinking water treatment plants.
Benefits and Features
Screens are available in a multitude of different materials including epoxy-coated or galvanized carbon steel, with stainless smooth-top or non-metallic mesh, and are suitable for fresh, brackish or salt water.
