Sieve bend fish diversion screens are specifically engineered for dam and river systems to safeguard fish from hydroelectric turbines and pumps. Their primary function is to prevent fish from being drawn into water intakes, thereby minimizing the risks of entrainment, injury, or mortality among aquatic species.
These wedge wire screens are designed with a curved profile, known as sieve bend, which enhances their effectiveness in fish protection. The curvature helps in directing water flow while simultaneously guiding fish away from intake areas.
