TECHNICAL OVERVIEW - ACOUSTIC SYSTEMS

FGS have 10 years of laboratory development and field testing experience at water intakes using underwater acoustics. FGS acoustic fish guidance systems are rapidly becoming first choice of both plant operators and environmental regulators.

This section provides a scientific overview of how FGS acoustic systems work, are designed to meet site conditions and perform in the field.
