    The document discusses SediCon sluicers, an effective method for removing sediment from desilting tanks and chambers. Key points: 1) SediCon sluicers use gravity as the driving force and require only a few meters of head, with very low water consumption and no movable parts. 2) SediCon sluicers have been installed in various hydroelectric projects around the world, such as in Nepal in 2000 and will be installed at the Coca Codo Sinclair project in Ecuador, the world's largest high-head run-of-river plant. 3) The Coca Codo Sinclair project will utilize 40 SediCon sluicers to remove

    SediCon in short

    A Norwegian company, and a global supplier to the Hydropower industry.


    Supplies olutions and equipment for desilting basins/chambers and reservoirs.
    SediCon and Hydro Design Management (Delhi) are to establish SediCon India.
    Baner Sangam Project

    • 2 x 2,5 MW Run-of-River Hydro Power plant


    • 17,2 m3/s + flushing discharge
    • 44 m gross head.
    • Located in Kanagra District of Himachal Pradesh
    • Under construction
    • 17,5 x 60 m desander, equipped with SediCon Sluicer
    • 17,5 m wide x 60 m long desander
    • Designed to trap 98,5% of 0,25 mm particles
    • Equipped with SediCon Sluicers
    SediCon Sluicer 2
    SediCon Sluicer
    Unique technology for removal of sediments from open and pressurized sand traps without interrupting the
    water supply and power production:

    • Gravity is the driving force

    • Only a few meter head is required: The desander can be deeper than the
    downstream water level

    • Very low water consumption

    • Has no movable parts and extreme reliability

    • Can be designed for any capacity.

    • Removes sediment up to 200 mm in diameter

    • Can remove sediment deposits of any thickness

    2000, Nepal: SediCon Sluicers installed at Khimti HPP pressurised
    sand trap

    • Small, 100 m3 sand trap

    • The SediCon Sluicer has removed several 1000 ton


    of coarse sand and gravel which is eroded form the
    tunnel floor

    • It was operated 8 years without dewatering or


    inspection, between 2000 and 2008

    • Automatic operation at given time-intervals.

    • The worlds largest high-head run-of river.
    • Located on Coca River in Ecuador (Amazon tributary)
    • Utilises app 700 m head, Qmax = 222 m3/s
    • 1500 MW, 8,6 TWh/year -
    • Under construction scheduled completion early 2016.
    • Estimated cost 2 - 3 billion USD

    • Estimated sediment inflow 7,3 M ton sediments to desanders


    • Design criteria: Deposition of sediment up to 943 kg/s - 3400 ton/h
    • 8 desanders each 13 m wide × 150 m long
    • Only 8 m head prevents free surface flushing from desanders
