Dredging International, part of the DEME (Dredging, Environmental and Marine Engineering) Group, rooted in the port of Antwerp, on the river Scheldt, is one of the primary contractors in the world, offering a perfect mix of experience and in-depth knowledge in dredging and land reclamation.

For their trailing suction hopper dredger “ARTEVELDE”, a sister vessel to the highly successful Reynaert, Dredging International have recently approached Pronova-CT for their innovative and by now well-known environment-friendly solution for Greenwater treatment: the MERUS technology, consisting of a ring that is installed around the equipment in question and then giving off tiny oscillations disturbing the lime scale, bacteria, algae etc. in your fresh or seawater. Afterwards, the substances are flushed away leaving water pipes free of scaling and bringing them back to high performance levels. In consequence also the pipes, boilers, tanks etc. have a longer lifespan.
