Company Performance Metrics
BarrierFlow Technologies develops non-chemical systems to protect water infrastructure from invasive mussel biofouling. The company focuses on patented and patent-pending hydro-physical technologies that alter flow conditions inside intake pipes so zebra and quagga mussels cannot successfully attach. Its primary solutions are designed for municipal
drinking water systems, industrial and energy-sector cooling water intakes, and agricultural irrigation and drainage infrastructure. BarrierFlow Technologies works with operators through pilot deployments that integrate modular units into existing pipelines to prevent macro-fouling at the pipe wall. By relying on induced secondary currents and turbulence rather than chlorine or mechanical scraping, the systems aim to keep intakes clear while supporting environmental compliance. The company also engages in research, field trials, and knowledge sharing with utilities and water managers to advance sustainable invasive species control practices.
