Brochure: Brackett Green® S.I.M.P.L.E.® Fish Handling Screen

Ovivo manufactures fish handling band screens using the S.I.M.P.L.E.® process for marine life recovery. The S.I.M.P.L.E. Fish Handling Band Screen is designed to meet increasing demands to reduce the environmental impacts of cooling water withdrawal on new and existing intakes (for example, new US EPA regulation 316 b).

Juvenile fish that meet the traveling screens are naturally led to seek the shelter of the integrated fish bucket due to the stabilized flow. The traveling screen rotates, elevating the fish to deck level where a series of gentle sprays sluice them into the fish trough. Fish and other marine life are then sluiced back to their source water via a return trough.

S.I.M.P.L.E. fish screens are supplied in dual flow, dual flow conversion and thru flow models, and can be retrofit to almost any intake. S.I.M.P.L.E. fish screens are available in a multitude of different materials including epoxy-coated or galvanized carbon steel, with stainless smooth-top or non-metallic mesh, and are suitable for fresh, brackish or sea water.

For inquiries, please specify flow rate, desired mesh opening, elevations or height of deck, high water, low water and invert, desired construction materials and number of screens required. A complete General Information package including survival reports is available on request.
