Unmatched
Robustness and Debris Handling Capability
A major utility in Japan was experiencing serious problems with cooling
water inlet filtration at one of its high capacity power plants. The facility
is located along a canal and draws its cooling intake from a harsh saltwater
environment with a high concentration of algae, mussels, and debris. After
repeated equipment failures, collapsed screens, and prolonged frustration
with their existing debris filters (of a competitor’s design), the
utility decided to conduct a comparative test to find a new supplier whose
product could withstand the challenge.
A Beaudrey “W-Type” Debris Filter was compared to two competitors’
designs in an exhaustive operational test. Beaudrey’s debris filter
was the only product to operate problem free while successfully filtering
hundreds of pounds of oyster shells, jellyfish, algae, and other debris
introduced in mass. Following the test, the utility purchased the Beaudrey
“W-Type” debris filter… it has operated reliably without
incident for 70,000 hours (10 years) vastly improving the plants operational
effectiveness. |
