Gunderboom® MLES Marine Life Exclusion System (continued)

Multiple Benefits.

Inner workings of the Air Burst system
Air Burst cleaning system
Automatic AirBurst™ cleaning system. Sediment and passively floating organisms drawn onto the fabric are freed when Gunderboom’s AirBurst™ cleaning system routinely releases high-pressure air at the boom’s base. Bursts of compressed air shake each fabric panel, releasing deposits and ensuring a steady flow of water through the curtain. 
Deploying the Air Burst system

Minimal impact on aquatic life. Data from worst-case test conditions shows that contact with an operating MLES™ does not adversely affect fish eggs or larvae.
Fossil fuel conservation. Daily operation of dry cooling towers consumes large amounts of fossil fuels. A cost-effective, ecologically sound and aesthetically pleasing alternative, Gunderboom
’s MLES™ enables plant operators to maintain water intake levels, even during periods of aquatic migration.
Filtering out harmful materials. Fish, debris, aquatic vegetation and passive marine organisms such as jellyfish cannot get inside the barrier to cause problems with the cooling water intake structure (CWIS) or condenser tubes.
