Those who need large amounts of water include power plants and other large-scale industries. They often pump in considerable amounts of water directly from the sea.
However, this contains more than just water, and mussels, for example, have shown that they thrive in the heat from industries. This entails a security risk, since mussels in the system can cause operational interruptions. To remove the mussels, most organisations currently use mechanical systems. A simpler and more effective approach is to create a system with Wallenius AOT, which removes microorganisms from the water flow, thereby eliminating mussel shoals from the cooling system.
