Our division supplies and design-builds made-to-measure automated screening machines for the filtration of debris at:

Seawater/river water intakes for thermal power plants (nuclear-, gas- and coal-fired power plants)
Desalination plants and industrial- and potable water systems

The aim is to protect pumps and subsequent process steps such as condenser tubes from the carry-over of debris. More than 2,000 highly sensitive plants worldwide (Greenfield and Brownfield) are equipped with our machines. Our cathodic protection systems (with impressed current ICCP) stand for longest lifetimes and corrosion resistance in seawater.

The 316(b) rule of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) forces US plant owners to refurbish their water intakes with more fish friendly screening technologies. Geiger can offer solutions for best…

Cable-Operated Grab Cleaners/Bar Screens are typically installed in water intake systems as front-end coarse screens or trash racks. Depending on technical requirements, there are stationary and…

The Geiger^® large rotating Drum Screens are typically installed in cooling water intake systems downstream from trash rakes or coarse bar screens. Debris is removed by efficient filtration at Geiger…

Geiger^® Revolving Chain Screens are heavy-duty rotating chain screens suitable for both coarse and fine screening. The Geiger^® Revolving Chain Screen can reliably remove large quantities of debris.

Efficient fine screening is essential to protect pumps, condenser tubes, heat exchangers and other critical equipment, and is the last cleaning stage in the water intake process. Geiger…

Geiger MultiDisc^® Screens are available with specially designed fish buckets and fish return systems. They are widely used where strict requirements in terms of fish protection have to be fulfilled.…

Electric fish repelling systems are used as behavioral barrier to prevent fish from entering “danger zones” such as water intake areas. In combination with suitable fish return systems they can also…

Safety and reliability down to the smallest possible detail: The 4-sided sealing shut-off device for one flow direction is highly resilient and also available as a customized product.

Safety and reliability down to the smallest possible detail: Passavant^® penstocks are 4-sided sealed shut-off devices suitable for both flow directions and are available from 200x200 mm up to…
