The Geiger® Revolving Chain Screen: heavy-duty equipment for the reliable and efficient removal of large quantities of debris.
Challenge
- Low-quality of existing equipment from the original supplier
- Poor pump station hydraulic design (too high flow velocity)
- Large debris load coming from the inlet bay
- Poor performance of the screens, not able to deal with the large amount of algae, seaweed and trash
- Poor technical response from the original supplier
- EPC still involved in the plant operation and in the overall project warranty
Reference Plant A
- Geiger Screening Equipment has been working properly at the Sousse Power Plant A (since 1979)
- During visit in Sousse our Service dept. was informed about the reliability issues at C + D intake screens
- Owner requested support acknowledging quality difference between 40-year old working Geiger screens and competitor’s screens at plant C + D
