The Growing Problem: Invasive Mussels & Your Infrastructure

A Persistent, Costly Challenge for Water Operators

Zebra and quagga mussels are clogging intakes, restricting water flow, and increasing operational costs for municipalities, energy providers, and agricultural water systems.

Most current methods rely on:
Chlorination – Expensive, regulated, and environmentally concerning.
Mechanical Cleaning – Labor-intensive, disruptive, and costly.

What if there was a better way?

A Smarter Approach: Preventing Infestations Naturally

  • Safeguard freshwater habitats from the adverse impacts of invasive species without chemicals.

    No Chemicals

    Avoid regulatory hurdles and environmental concerns.

  • Cut down on maintenance and operational expenses with a long-term prevention strategy.

    Low Maintenance

    Reduces the need for costly cleaning and repairs.

  • Ensure cleaner, safer water by maintaining unobstructed water flows and avoiding chemical treatments.

    Cost-Effective

    Prolongs infrastructure lifespan, cutting long-term costs.

  • BarrierFlow works across municipal, industrial, and agricultural applications.

    Scalable & Adaptable

    Works across municipal, industrial, and agricultural applications.

A Revolutionary, Non-Chemical Solution for Water Intake Protection

BarrierFlow Technologies has developed an innovative system that prevents mussels from attaching to critical water infrastructure—without the need for chemicals or mechanical intervention.
