Thousands of tons of flots are flushed on the Danube waves in Lower Austria. If they are washed up in the power plants in the power plants, a huge ship tap grabs.
“The dams of our Danube energy plants look like a huge comb that fishes the waste from the water every day,” says a composite expert. In 2024 it was possible to comply with him in particular: “In LoWower Austria we had to fish 4355 tons of drifting material from flower wood to the Dixi toilet.” A value that demonstrates that not only electricity is generated, but has also offered environmentally every day.
State of a state of flooding
Especially in Altenwörth was a state of emergency after the flood of September. But every time the military fields are opened, the water flows through – and with the tree trunks, branches, mountains of waste – it was 1100 tons in the previous year. As soon as the update is restored, the bone track starts: around the clock the employees fight against the brown flood of drift material with an 8-ton swimming tap. “Without us everything would end up in the sea. And accumulate like a microplasty in fish.”
Traces of climate change
Incidentally, the Wallsee-Mitterkirchen (Upper Austria) contains the power plant the waste record with 1500 tons. But the total amount in the wide country shows how strong the extreme struck again. Milieu veteran Helmut Belanyecz from Fischamend: “Climate change lets its stamp leave – and the Danube the dirt. Fortunately these steel battles are available.”
