Abstract
The invention relates to a method for processing submerged material at the bottom of a body of water, like the bottom of the sea, by application of electric energy, comprising providing electrodes in a process zone proximate the material for providing an electric current through the material for crushing the material, and displacing of fluid of the body of water away from the process zone to outside the process zone before application of the electric energy.
Claims18
Method for processing submerged material at the bottom of a body of water, like the bottom of the sea, by application of electric energy, wherein the method comprises providing electrodes for application of the electric energy in a process zone proximate the material for crushing the material, and displacing of fluid of the body of water away from the process zone to outside the process zone before application of the electric energy.
Device for processing submerged material at the bottom of a body of water, like the bottom of the sea, by application of electric energy, wherein the device comprises electrodes configured to be arranged in a process zone proximate the material for providing an electric current through the material, and means for displacing fluid of the body of water away from the process zone to outside the process zone before application of the electric energy.
