Watorjettisg Solution Adopted By Vktor Lenac

Waterjetting continues to grow in popularity among shipyards seeking an efficient and environmentally acceptable solution to con- duct surface preparation. Croatian shipyard Victor Lenac is the lat- est in a long line to order waterjetting equipment, as it has added

WOMA waterjetting equipment which includes four containerized ultra-high pressure water jet units "Ecomaster Twin Jet" and three containerized ultra-high pressure waterjetting units "325 Z-2000."

The Twin Jet units generate an operating pressure of 2,000 bar and a water flow rate of 2x20 1/min., and comprise two in-line high-pres- sure plunger pumps. The power rating of the electrically driven sys- tems is 144 kW. With the Twin Jet, two water tools can be run inde- pendently and simultaneously, each with a water flow rate of 20 1/min. The Twin Jet accessories contain four emission-free working cleaning tools dubbed ERC — including a 30-m high working plat- form, and eight surface preparation tools, dubbed Speedy 2000/E24 — for high performance. Also, part of the system is a suction line for the jetting water and the removed paint that is driven by an electric booster pump.

The 325-Z units are capable of generating an operation pressure of 2,000 bar and a water flow rate of 56 1/min. Also driven by electric motors, the power rating is 202 kW. The corresponding water jet cleaning tools are nine electrically driven ultra-high pressure guns and nine surface preparation tools. In order to perform emission-free ship wall paint removal, two systems are ordered that work at an operation pres- sure of 2,000 bar and a water flow rate of 56 1/min.

Also, the delivery includes a plunger conver- sion set for the 325 Z units to run the pumps at an oper- ating pressure of 1,000 bar and a water flow rate of 132 1/min. This package con- tains WOMAs Double RRC 1000 for mechanized wall cleaning, and a WOMA tank cleaning head for cleaning ballast tanks and contain- ers.
