Installation of debris booms prevents Xenospheres getting into local rivers

Darcy’s client, a power station in the UK, required a boom to be installed within the on-site lagoon prevent Xenosphere’s on the surface getting off the lagoon and into the local river.

SOLUTION

• A 300mm debris boom and a permafence boom were installed to prevent Xenosphere’s on the surface getting from the lagoon and into the river.
• The Xenospheres are skimmed off the surface of the lagoon with Apump after the Xenospheres have built up a 10mm thick scum on the surface of the water.
• The area has 2no booms installed within the lagoon.
