Atlas-SSI Curbs Plastics Pollution, Protects Aquatic Life, and Improves Worker Safety

Water is a critical resource for economic growth. Across the United States, thousands of industrial facilities, including power generating stations and product manufacturers, use large volumes of water from rivers, lakes, and oceans to cool their plants; they depend on water to keep their operations running smoothly.  

The traditional design for cooling intake systems protects the infrastructure and plant operations. Paul Lewis, CEO of Atlas-SSI, says that today, these end users have considerably bigger concerns about how their water use impacts the broader surrounding ecosystem. 

As North America’s largest full-service traveling water screen and bulk material handling equipment manufacturer, Atlas-SSI has offered industrial customers their “first line of defense” of their critical assets for more than 50 years – robust screens that prevent debris from entering their cooling intake systems. In recent years, however, global challenges such as pollution and climate change have shifted the scope of their customers’ needs and, accordingly, the demand for innovative solutions. 

“When our customers design and upgrade their systems, they must consider how to meet new regulations, make operations more efficient, and minimize their environmental impact,” says Lewis.
