Share of the energy then it must be operated in a manner that will result in

That means that overallĭredge system efficiency has to be maintained at the highest level possible.

It is becoming even more important to keep the cost per ton of dredged solidsĪs low as possible. The cost of energy is claiming an ever-increasing portion of the total expense of operating a dredge system so Uncommon to find that as much as 85 percent of the total horsepower consumed byĪ dredge is spent maintaining flow in the discharge pipeline. This component, the dredge pipeline, usually soaks up most of the energy

Now we will examine theĭischarge pipeline and provide some guidanceĮfficiently. Some facet of dredge operation and explores ways to equip and operate aĭredge so as to make it more efficient and productive.
