The floating booster station consists of two 40’container pontoons and two 20’container pontoons on which the booster station is mounted. The main characteristics of the floating booster station are as follows:
– length over pontoon: 17.07m
– breadth over pontoon: 6.10m
– depth at side: 2.44m
– average draft with max. fuel: 1.30m
– inside diameter of suction/discharge pipeline: 650mm
– maximum continuous power of diesel engine at 1600 r.p.m: 1686kW
Principal characteristics for transport of the booster station:
– length for transport: 8.3m
– breadth for transport: 3.00m
– height for transport: 2.65m
– weight: approx. 35,000kg (dry)
