Coatings For Zebra/Quagga Mussel Control, 2nd Year Evaluation

Coatings For Zebra/Quagga Mussel Control, 2nd Year Evaluation
Available for download

Zebra mussels were first introduced in the United States in the 1980’s into the Great Lakes. The migration of the mussels west prompted the US Bureau of Reclamation to examine technologies that might reduce their impact on water resources infrastructure. Many new materials and coating products have been developed to deter the attachment of mussels to infrastructure. Our 2nd year of research investigated new foul release coatings technologies and fluorinated powder coatings for mussel control.

Many new materials and coating products have been developed to deter the attachment of mussels to infrastructure. Our 2nd year of research investigated new foul release coatings technologies and fluorinated powder coatings for mussel control. Parker Dam, on the Colorado River, was selected for our test site due to the rapid reproduction rates of the quagga mussels. Force measurements were also conducted to determine the force to remove mussels from various coated surfaces.

This research investigated antifouling coatings, foul-release coatings, and fluorinated powder coatings for mussel control. Parker Dam, on the Colorado River, was selected for our test site due to the rapid reproduction rates of the quagga mussels. Zebra mussels were first introduced in the United States in the 1980’s by foreign vessels in the Great Lakes. The rapid migration of the mussels west prompted the US Bureau of Reclamation to examine technologies that might reduce their impact on water resources infrastructure. Many new materials and coating products have been developed to deter the attachment of mussels onto infrastructure.

At a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), the security, training, and safety requirements are quite complex when compared to industrial or commercial facilities. Security requirements start with the completion of an extensive personnel qualification and employment history questionnaire followed by background screening, and security program training. Safety in a NPP includes nuclear safety in addition to the typical industrial safety training.

Contract coatings work in the Commercial Nuclear Industry is quite different than coatings work in other industries. The physical coatings work performed at a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is no different than physical coatings work at any other facility. However, the regulatory, administrative, quality and qualification requirements can be substantially different.
