Degassing installations
Dredge process improvement
Whether you are building a brand-new trailing suction hopper dredger, or giving your hopper dredge an upgrade, there is a degassing system that fits. The customised system will improve the dredging efficiency during maintenance dredging operations in ponds, lakes and rivers with organic content in the silt layer.
Fit for purpose degassing system
► During trailing dredging, the drag head is swept over the bottom of a river, lake or navigation channel. Should the dredging operation take place at a spot where plenty of organic matter has had time to decay, the sediment will contain gas. This gas in then trapped by the drag head in the dredging system. Yet, a centrifugal dredge pump does not handle gas well. To optimise TSHD dredging operations a degassing system can be installed. BANGLAMARK offers customised degassing systems, designed and manufactured in-house, made to boost your operational efficiency.
Optimised maintenance dredging operations
► During maintenance dredging, silt is pumped into the hopper hold in the highest possible mixture concentration. The presence of gas prevents an effective dredging process. Hence, it should be removed. Exactly that is what a degassing system does: removing the gas from the mixture, boosting the dredge pump and the overall dredging efficiency.
Easy operation
► The degassing system is easy to operate. The fully automised system can simply be switched on and off by the dredge master. The degassing system will automatically adapt to the varying amount of gas present in the dredged mixture.
Reliable maintenance dredging
► With gas no longer present in the dredged mixture, the dredging process will be more even. As a result the dredge operations can be planned better, and tight schedules can be met. Removing the gas from the bottom sediment will improve the overall reliability of your dredging operations.
