Steam injection into intake bays is a nonchemical method to control zebra mussels. This technique was demonstrated at Dairyland Power Cooperative`s J.R Madgett Station located in Alma, Wisconsin. The J.P. Madgett Station has two water intakes with capacities of approximately 295,000 gallons and 265,000 gallons each. Each intake can be isolated permitting either full or reduced generation depending on river temperature conditions. In addition to the intake bays, the outside fire protection loop and hydrants were also treated with the hot water from one of the bays. This report describes the process design, piping and steam eductor configurations, portable industrial boiler sizing and description, and thermocouples to monitor the water temperature in the intake bay. The mollusk mortality, monitoring, and treatment results are also included.
