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. Damen offers customised degassing systems, designed and manufactured in-house, made to boost your operational efficiency.

Your partner in dredging
Dredging requires more than just shipping a dredge valve or drag head. It requires more gear such as dredge instrumentation to optimise the job. Moreover it requires crew training and project management to bring the works to a successful conclusion. Damen can assist you during the full lifecycle of your dredger.
Dredge package
For a retrofit or newbuild, first class dredging components will allow you to do your dredge job in the most efficient way. We supply a wide array of dredging systems ranging from single components to complete stand alone degassing systems.
Getting started
As well as shipping the degassing system to your yard, we can also send over our Field Service Engineer to assist the crew with installation and start-up. This will shorten the installation time, and give an opportunity for crew training.
Lifecycle support
For spares, repairs, alterations or additions to your dredge systems, our Service team is available 24/7.
