Fleet-wide Bid Awarded to Hydrolox Water Screens

Intralox is excited to announce a large project with five nuclear power plants in North America. They’ll supply traveling water screens so the plants can achieve compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Water Act’s Section 316(b) regulations. Intralox’s Hydrolox™ traveling water screens protect aquatic wildlife in water bodies that feed cooling water to these power plants, dramatically reducing maintenance, ensuring reliability, and improving safety.

Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act requires that cooling water intake structures’ location, design, construction, and capacity to reflect the best technology available for minimizing environmental effects. For nuclear operations, that means their screens must rotate 24/7. Such operations require reliable solutions and partners, areas in which Hydrolox screens excel.

“This is a major milestone to not only protect wildlife, but also to protect workers’ safety,” said Brett DeRousse, Hydrolox Account Manager. “There’s a new demand for clean, secure, and stable energy. Nuclear power plants are well positioned to provide it and we’re happy to be a part of it.”
