Royal IHC will supply two onboard double-walled dredge pumps for a new 18,000 m3 trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD), as well as onboard single-walled dredge pumps for two other 6000 m3 TSHDs currently being built for Luxembourg based Jan De Nul Group.
Incorporating the latest technical developments, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and in-house testing facilities, IHC dredge pumps are continuously improved to meet the harshest dredging challenges.
Double-walled Pumps with Curve Technology
For Jan De Nul's 18,000 m3 hopper, the double-walled dredge pumps have been designed to deliver a total installed power of 7000 kWs per pump. This will enable them to discharge 33 bar pressure when operated concurrently.
The two double-walled pumps will also be equipped with IHC’s latest Curve technology. The Curve impeller, with its innovative shape and blade curvature, ensures that the pumps perform with excellent suction properties over the prolonged lifetime of the product.
Single-walled Dredge Pumps
The single-walled dredge pumps for the smaller 6000 m3 hoppers, will deliver an installed power of 4000 kWs and provide a discharge pressure of up to 11 bar.
