Interesting! Oil shale is commonly found in Canada where it is roasted to distill out the oil.

Frank, Lawrence, Oh...sorry about shale translation. As I saw in the spanish-english dictionary for "shale"; in spanish: "esquisto" or "aceite (oil) esquistoso" that I thaught ii was some material like oil. A de-sanding or 'de- shaling' basin will be good, as Frank said. Length depends on particle size and weight. At least, may be 6 - 8 meters.

Uhhhhh! Shale is rock and doesn't float. "A fissile rock composed of layers of claylike, fine-grained sediments." http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=shale&r=67 Is the shale small bits swirling in the water? A stilling basin would allow it to separate.

Dear Lawrence, If shale is similar to oil and floats over the water, the solution would be a concrete or steel tank with enough area for low velocity in the outgoing stream, up waters from the forebay, with a separation plate for catching the floating shale and take it away by means of a syphon or some other device. This idea together others could help you in find the best problem solving.

My stream has large amounts of shale that comes out of the mountain. Can anyone direct me to advice on different intake designs that best handle shale as I am still trying to estimate the cost of this project. Thanks, Lawrence Balisky Dear Lawrence, With an overshot wheel, shale would not be an issue. I am not sure what your situation is, but it is something to think about.
