Beaudrey machines are also market leaders in fish protection and environmental preservation.
Designed to minimize operational costs, maintenance needs and environmental impact, Beaudrey offers a complete range of efficient and economical engineering solutions to all water screening needs. Our primary markets include: coal and combined cycle power plants, nulcear power plants, desalination plants, chemical plants, LNG stations, and water treatment facilities.
Every machine is custom designed for each individual application whether it be a new installation or an upgrade to an existing water intake structure.
Stop Gate
Stop gates are designed to isolate water pits to be partially or totally dried. Three main types of stop gates are available:
- Stop gates designed to be handled by a lifting chain or beam, without load.
- Stop gates to be submitted to a slight load.
- Stop gates to be lifted under a heavy load.
Beaudrey fabricates the three types of stop gates in all sizes and for all water loads.
Tash Rake
Beaudrey trash rakes can be used in all intake plants or canals where medium or large size debris (leaves, logs, containers, plastic sheets, algae, etc.) needs to be filtered and they can be installed with Beaudrey’s patented Bio-Flush Fish Collection System. Their main fields of application are in industrial cooling water intakes, power plants, chemical plants, or for the pre-treatment of drinking water.
Bio-Flush Fish Collection System
The Beaudrey Bio-Flush™ fish collection system is designed to have minimal impact on water life that is drawn into the water intake system.
Beaudrey trash rakes equipped with Bio-Flush™ are specially shaped so that they lift the fish from the bar screen and place them in a water bucket where they are contained as the trash collector travels up towards the deck. Once it reaches deck level, the trash rake tilts and the fish fall with the flush water into a deck flume where a sufficient amount of circulating water is maintained to cushion their fall. In order to reduce the height of the fall, the head of the trash rake gently tips forward while the bucket is flushed. The flume is then emptied and the fish are returned to their natural environment.
Traveling band screens
Traveling band screens are typically installed in an intake screening system downstream from the trash rakes or coarse bar screens and upstream of the circulating water pump. Their main function is to remove debris (from 1 mm-10 mm) before the circulating water is distributed to sensitive plant components.
When water flows through the panels of the traveling water screen, debris is collected on the NoCling™ mesh panels. As the screen rotates, the debris is carried up to deck level where a pressure spray flushes it from the panels into a debris trough. The clean panels then rotate back into the water, resulting in continuous, uninterrupted screening.
Traveling band screens are generally installed with one of three possible flow patterns: external to internal dual-flow, internal to external dual-flow (center-flow), or thru-flow.
Debris filters
Debris filters are used to protect condensers, heat exchangers and cooling towers from macro-fouling. Beaudrey debris filters are designed to remove organic and inorganic debris such as clams, shells, mussels, seaweed, pebbles, twigs, plastic, or debris that may be caused by marine growth in the circulating water piping. All debris filters are equipped with Beaudrey’s patented NoCling™ technology, making them the best solution to preventing residual fibrous build up and jelly fish impingement
Condenser Tube Cleaning Systems
Conventional Condenser Tube Cleaning Systems (A or V shaped) can endlessly discharge cleaning sponge balls (when grids are clogged with debris or broken, the limit switch is unadjusted). Beaudrey’s Zero Ball LossTM (ZBLTM) condenser tube cleaning system guarantees that zero sponge balls will be released into the environment.
The ZBLTM protects condensers and heat exchangers from tube micro-fouling and will help them maintain thier original cleanliness. Beaudrey’s proven system increases the life and efficiency of condensers and heat exchangers and eliminates the need to derate units for manual tube cleaning.
