Project: Utility Aids Manatee
Solution: Raise Discharge Canal Water Temperature by Utilizing Steam Boiler.
During the winter months, endangered manatees and other sea creatures utilize the warm water of a utility's
discharge canal as a shelter. This particular utility plant's boiler was down for maintenance. The utility's
discharge canal's normal winter shelter has now become dangerously chilled due to unusually cold weather.
Concerned for the safety of the manatees, the utility called Carrier Rental Systems (CRS) for a solution.
CRS's team (working closely with the utility company) designed an economical solution to the problem.
By utilizing a steam boiler and heat exchanger, CRS was able to keep the canal at a safe level.
Temporary Equipment:
- One 200HP Steam Boilers
- One 2,000 sq. ft. heat exchanger
