Working with our first Seagull customer we developed a high
performance, low maintenance unit which could replace antiquated
quad-runner turbines. To be economically feasible the new turbine
had to achieve high capacity with no change to the basic open-flume
powerhouse layout.

Features / Benefits
- Although each new Seagull turbine is custom designed, every
customer benefits from the design concepts of our first unit: two
bearings mounted immediately adjacent to the runners, a dry pit for
all the wicket gate mechanisms, rugged single pedestal mounting,
and all hydraulic passages designed using advanced Computational
Fluid Dynamics.
- Our Seagulls have proven to be robust, low maintenance units.
They are workhorses that produce outstanding annual revenues. If
your open flume unit is unreliable or you are looking to increase
capacity, we would be pleased to size a Seagull turbine for
you.
