The Cochwillan GoFlo self-cleaning screen and hydropower system is now fully commissioned. The project brought together technical design and expertise from Gloucestershire based Renewables First Ltd and GoFlo Screens Ltd.
The Kenningstock Mill hydropower scheme, installed by Renewables First, was recently retrofitted with a GoFlo self-cleaning water intake screen, as a way to significantly reduce maintenance time, increase turbine output and generation income.
Earlier this year the Cochwillan GoFlo scheme was given the green light, as GoFlo was commissioned to design, manufacture and install two self-cleaning screens to be installed as part of the Cochwillan hydro project.
With the help of grant funding from a scheme called, Innovation for Growth, the GoFlo design team has finalised work on the design and development of a fully automated self-cleaning screen, called GoFlo.
