CASE STUDY Engines Quiet Oceanographic Vessel Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets The Opportunity Future research vessels (FRV) play an important role in collecting and analyzing data from the ocean so that we have a better understanding of it. However, the large vessels’ propulsion systems give off high vibrations and noise levels. The Solution A few years ago, Dresser-Rand Guascor® product experts developed an unprecedented new technical solution that significantly reduced the vibration and noise levels transmitted to the sea by the ship’s propulsion system. The system was installed on the...

The Ramón Margalef vessel was delivered to the Spanish Oceanographic Institute (IEO) and meets the strictest environmental requirements. It is one of the most silent vessels in all of the European FRV fleet – and perhaps of the civilian fleet – in the world. The FRV Angeles Alvariño is the twin vessel of the Ramón Margalef and employs the same Guascor® Diesel engine system to reduce vibration and noise. Benefits • Reduces unpleasant vibrations and noise • Employs robust, trustworthy equipment • Creates a reliable, efficient and clean power source • Provides continuous power The Business The...

.NMnNNnNS CASE STUDY The Opportunity Acciona Infraestructuras is a Spanish infrastructure development company that has built numerous maritime projects for public and private clients worldwide including ports, dry docks, shipyards, berthing jetties, and navigation canals. Acciona was recently selected to build a large caissonbuilding floating dock in Portugal's Setubal port. Acciona turned to Dresser-Rand to power Kugira II because of its vast experience in the marine industry and its use of state-of-the the-art technology and its extensive resources. The Solution Dresser-Rand powered the...

Such features allow for a number of benefits, including easy operation and maintenance (O&M), power supply in off-the grid area and a heavy-duty, continuous energy source for non-stop maneuvering. Main features: • Electronic injection pump • Wet exhaust manifold • Double-step intercooler • Oil cooler in auxiliary circuit • 80ºC (176ºF) main cooling circuit temperature • 30ºC (86ºF) intercooler cooling circuit temperature • Exhaust catalyst with or without oxidation Benefits • Heavy-duty, continuous energy source for non-stop maneuvering • Easy O&M • Power supply in off-the-grid areas The...

CASE STUDY Marine Propulsion Units to Power Tugboat Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets The Opportunity New Caledonia has a long history of mining in the Pacific Islands and mining continues to be a major contributor to New Caledonian’s economy. The islands contain approximately 7 million tons of nickel, which represents approx. 10% of the world’s nickel reserves. Excluding tourism, mining and derived metallurgical products represent approximately 97% of the total value of exports. The mining trade prompted the development of specialized industrial harbors throughout the region because sea...

The features of this ship are as follows: Length:15.5m / Beam: 6.2m / Draught: 1.8m / Engine: Two Guascor marine engines of 450 HP. Engine model F180TA – SP (dualpropeller) /Gearbox: Two Guascor reverse gearbox RE240T (inverse rotation), ratio 6.08 Benefits • Low maintenance costs • Longer engine life • Lower marine fuel costs • Reduced emissions The Business The Dresser-Rand business, part of Siemens Power and Gas (PG), offers some of the most efficient and environmentallyfriendly technology platforms, products and services in distributed power generation for oil and gas, industrial,...

CASE STUDY The Largest Fall Pipe Rock Dumping Vessel Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets The Opportunity Rock dumping vessels are watercrafts that are used to transport and dump rocks on the seabed. Ranging from large, bulkcarrier style vessels able to carry out precision operations using fall pipes, to smaller deck-loading vessels used for erosion remediation, these vessels provide protection to previously laid pipelines. Fitted with a dynamic positioning system, rock dumping vessels are able to accurately position rocks on the seabed. The Joseph Plateau fall pipe rock dumping vessel, together...

Benefits • Reduced emissions • Reduced maintenance and repair costs • Increased power generation reliability and availability • Fuel cost savings • Robust, field-proven equipment The Business The Dresser-Rand business, part of Siemens Power and Gas (PG), offers some of the most efficient and environmentallyfriendly technology platforms, products and services in distributed power generation for oil and gas, industrial, institutional, and commercial clients and rural electrification programs. Solutions include: combined heat and power (CHP) systems, biogas-fueled gen-sets, hybrid systems...

CASE STUDY Marine Generators to Power Transport Dresser-Rand Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets The Opportunity Swiber, a world class company in the offshore industry, offers its global-diverse clients integrated services within three main business units: offshore construction services, offshore marine services and engineering services. Swiber was commissioned to build a huge submergible float-over barge in an Indonesian shipyard. Swiber (Newcruz Shipbuilding & Engineering Pte Ltd - Swiber Limited) turned to Dresser-Rand to power Holmen Pacific and Atlantic because...

Such features allow for a number of benefits, including easy operations and maintenance (O&M), power supply in off-the-grid areas and a heavy-duty, continuous energy source for non-stop maneuvering. The double cooling system maintains two independent cooling circuits, HT (80ºC) for the cylinder heads, and LT (30ºC) for oil cooler and after cooler with or without an oxidation exhaust catalyst. Main features: • Electronic injection pump • Heavy-duty, continuous energy sourcefor non-stop maneuvering • Double-step intercooler • Oil cooler in auxiliary circuit • Power supply in off-the-grid...
