Forsta Self-Cleaning Filter Out Performs Geotube Filter in Small Scale Carp Exclusion Pilot Plant
The Forsta filter was better able to handle the sediment load of the river water due to the higher operating pressure and backwash capability
Gull Lake in central Alberta was challenged by falling water levels from the 1920s to the 1970s. In 1976, Alberta Environment (AEP) implemented a stabilization system to pump water into the lake from the Blindman River via a pump house, 30-inch pipeline and canal. The pump house has three 480 volt pumps with a combined output of 53m3/minute (14,000usgpm) at pressures of up to 70 psi to overcome the dynamic and hydraulic head in the pipeline. Since the stabilization system was built, the lake has gone through various ups and downs in water level, but with the system, these variances have been held to a relatively narrow band.
