Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is the description of the components and of the experimental procedure to be followed for the characterization of an innovative device, i.e. the ejector, for seabed management in harbour’s areas. The paper is divided in the following sections. After a brief overview of the state of the art in which criticalities of existing technologies are highlighted, a technical comparison is also performed respect to the technology developed by the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Bologna. In the second part of the paper, a detailed description of the main components and of the experimental procedure followed by test the device in the laboratory is reported. Lastly, conclusions about the experimental procedure are presented.
