Active fish pass

As the only one in Poland and one of the few in the world, we provide an active fish pass, which is an innovative approach to clearing water courses. The two Archimedes screw system ensures two-way migration, and the positive energy balance enables our solution to make a return on the investment.

Advantages

Lower cost of execution

Lower cost of execution

Compared to a standard fish pass.

Ensuring the protection of aquatic fauna

Ensuring the protection of aquatic fauna

The fish are lifted with the water and overcome the level difference without losing strength.

Ability to produce

Ability to produce "clean energy"

Electricity is generated by using the potential energy of flowing water. This prevents wastage, and thus restores the proper condition of surface waters.

Reduction of land occupancy

Reduction of land occupancy

An active fish pass can be used in places where there is not enough space for a traditional fish pass. This improves the ecological condition of watercourses where it was not possible.

Application

Application

  • Use of the eco-flow turbine intact flow
  • Clearing the watercourse at the existing small hydropower plants
  • Construction of a new SHPP
