Log Boom System for Hydropower Applications
Why Are Log Boom Systems Essential for Hydropower Dams?
Log boom systems play a critical role in preventing floating debris from entering intake structures and powerhouse facilities.
They help reduce operational risks, protect critical equipment, and improve the overall efficiency of power generation.
Debris Control at Intake Structures:
The log boom system is designed to intercept and contain floating logs, branches, and large debris before they reach the trash racks and water intake systems.
-
Reduces loading on trash rack systems
-
Minimizes the risk of intake blockage
-
Protects turbines and mechanical components from impact damage
Reservoir and Waterway Management:
Log boom systems can be engineered according to reservoir conditions, flow direction, and seasonal water level variations to control debris accumulation at designated collection zones.
Suitable for:
-
Hydropower dams
-
Weirs and irrigation projects
-
Large reservoirs and intake protection areas
Safety Barrier Applications:
Log boom systems can also function as safety barriers near dam structures and operational zones, restricting navigation and enhancing safety for personnel and infrastructure.
