Select Link Consultancy Front Page Introduction to fouling problems Siltation problems Chlorination solutions Short Period Intermittent Chlorination (SPIC) Biofouling monitoring Environmental Impact Assessment Expert witnesses & regulator approval services Water resource management The Power Industry today faces the twin priorities of optimizing cost-efficiency and meeting the increasingly stringent requirements of EC/UK environmental and water quality legislation. It is incumbent on industry and in particular each Power Station to review operational practice, including system design and layout, thereby to develop a plan of action, over a financially acceptable timetable, to: improve operational efficiency reduce plant running costs reduce maintenance costs achieve (or surpass) environmental regulatory requirements improve public awareness and environmental image. FBS offers a site-specific water resources management service to industry, incorporating risk-assessment, biofouling control, plant and procedure optimization, and analyses of past practice and environmental implications. WE UNDERTAKE RESEARCH TO: determine local water quality; assess the zoogeography of potential fouling organisms; assess the efficacy of antifouling application chemicals; assess the economics of antifouling application chemicals WE UNDERTAKE ASSESSMENT OF: existing antifouling regimes plant which may be at risk screen, strainer and washer systems local environmental conditions presence of local populations of fouling organisms potential risk of fouling site-specific appropriate technology
