"A dredger at the Burshtyn reservoir will clean the reservoir from silt. Using a powerful soil pump, it will remove deposits from the bottom. To do this, it will loosen the soil with a special cutter and draw it in with a stream of water. Then, under pressure, the mass will enter the discharge pipeline through the pump. Moving through the slurry pipeline, the silt from the bottom of the reservoir will be discharged into a specially designated area, where it will dry and turn into a layer of soil," said Lyubomir Dmyterko, Head of the Mechanical Service at DTEK Burshtyn TPP (citation source: https://cfts.org.ua).
