Sediment handling systems


Studies Design Equipment Operations
SediCon AS Sedicon is a supplier of proven and reliable sediment handling
solutions. With in depth knowledge and in-house developed technology, SediCon can
increase reservoir storage, reduce turbine wear and thus increase the production. Sediments
are removed in a controlled, environmentally friendly way, without external energy input.

Sedicons headquarter is in Trondheim, Norway with subsiduary in Costa Rica, and representative
in Ecuador and Japan, and work with local partners when appropriate.

Projects in Norway, Costa Rica, Japan, Ethiopia, India, Honduras, Nepal and a large number of
offshore projects worldwide, verifies functionality under all conditions.

Complete sediment handling solutions SediCon provides


complete sediment handling solutions from the very start of
a project to the end, including:

Studies Design Equipment Operations

Solutions for desilting basins and sand traps:


Studies include sediment sampling and analysis, sediment removal studies and optimization
of sand traps and desilting basins.

We provide conceptual and detailed design to maximize sediment exclusion and minimize
construction and operation cost.

Equipment for sediment removal includes the


Sedicon Slucier (The Slotted pipe sediment
Sluicer) which provides efficient sediment
removal without pumps or movable parts,
and without affecting the power production:
The SediCon Sluicer is a fixed sediment
removal system where sediments are flushed
out through an outlet pipe to an area lower
than the pressure level of the sand trap.

The SediCon Sluicer is characterized by


extreme reliability, low water consumption
and by the possibility for custom design for
any capacity and type of sediment.

SediCon Sluicers with 3000 ton per hour sediment


removal capacity under installation installed at
Khimti headworks.
Solutions for intakes ponds and reservoirs Studies include
sedimentation studies and reservoir lifetime assessment, sediment sampling and analysis and
optimization of sediment removal strategies.

Design works will include conceptual and detailed design to maximize sediment exclusion
and minimize construction and operation cost. The Sedicon dredge itself will be
custom designed for each single reservoir.

The Sedicon Dredge

Equipment for sediment removal from reservoirs includes the SediCon dredge which provides
efficient sediment removal without pumps and without interfering with reservoir operation.

Sediments are removed without lowering the water level or interrupting the water supply
from the reservoir. The energy head between the water surface and the outlet is the driving
force, eliminating the necessity for an external source of power. The reservoir dredge is
custom designed for long transport distances and any required capacity.

Sediment removal from reservoirs is normally supplied as a complete service, where the
service is supplied in co-operation with a partner.

Dredge can be operated by local personnel. SediCon Dredge removing 120 m3 sediment per
No power input is required. hour in Cebadilla, Costa Rica
SediCon AS also provides custom design and
specialised solutions for e.g.:

Debris/slide removal
Contaminated sediment removal
Dredging inside tanks and piles
Archaeological excavations

The Sedicon reservoir dredge provides sediment removal at


high water levels and continous operation of reservoirs.
