Technical Details
| Principal Dimensions and Characteristics |
| Proposed Components for Booster Pump |
| |
The major requirements are: |
| |
(1) DMI-GIW 24 x 28 x 72 pump capable of pumping 36,000-46,000 GPM at 206 feet of clear water head with |
| |
2200-2700 continuous HP with 83-84% efficiency, probably 2,450-3,000 continuous HP with slurry, |
| |
(2) Used EMD 20 cylinder 20V645 engine with 3,500 continuous HP at 900 RPM to drive booster pump and |
| |
accessories (radiator fan, packing gland pump, and accessory pack), |
| |
(3) Gear box for 3,000 continuous HP with a maximum 2.77 to 1 reduction, |
| |
(4) Clutch for 3,000 continuous HP at 900 RPM between engine and gear box, |
| |
(5) Coupling between clutch and gearbox for 3,000 HP at 900 RPM, |
| |
(6) Coupling between gearbox and pump for 3,000 HP at 325 RPM, |
| |
(7) Packing gland pump capable of delivering a minimum of 800 GPM at 240 feet of head, |
| |
(8) Master skid base for pump, gear box, and pump gauges and controls, and |
| |
(9) Master skid for engine unit with radiators, accessory pack, clutch, packing gland pump, mufflers, battery and |
| |
electrical controls, engine cover, and engine and clutch controls and gauges. In addition to these major |
| |
components that are numerous minor components to mate the masters kid units together, both mechanical and |
| |
electrical systems. |
| |
| |
All of the major components (DMI-GIW dredge pump, EMD 20V645 engine, Gearbox, Clutch, and Packing Gland |
| |
Pump) would be subject to buyer’s approval prior to purchase and fabrication. The DMI-GIW is not new but has |
| |
never been used but must be verified by buyer inspection. The EMD engine has been used but has been dyno- |
| |
tested and can be verified by buyer inspection. The gearbox will be either new or unused and be subject to buyer |
| |
inspection if not new but unused. The clutch, packing gland pump, couplings, and other minor components will be |
| |
new, unless otherwise designated. All warranties supplied by component suppliers will be passed through to |
| |
buyer; however, there are no warranties made on any components without suppliers warranties and no |
| |
warranties are made on the fabrication or performance of the assembled booster pump unit. |
| |
| |
The weight of the total assembled booster pump unit (engine unit, pump, gearbox, pump unit) will probably be |
| |
225,000 pounds or 110 tons. The pump and engine are presently available but the gearbox, clutch, couplings, |
| |
and packing gland pump have delivery times from 3-18 weeks for the factory. Much of the fabrication time to put |
| |
the unit together can be done while waiting to for the gear box and other components. Delivery FOB to the State |
| |
of Kansas, USA is probably 20-24 weeks after signing of Contract to Purchase. |
