Bulletin On New Fuel

Oil Blending Unit

Available From IMO

The IMO® Pump Division of

Transamerica Delaval Inc., Mon- roe, N.C., has just published an illustrated six-page bulletin on a new fuel oil blending unit recent- ly introduced by the division.

Designed primarily for mari- time applications, the new unit is nevertheless exciting widespread interest in shoreside industries wherever small- and medium- sized stationary diesel engines are run. The unit blends diesel oil into lower cost No. 6 or other heavy oil, reducing operating costs of shipboard, utility, and industrial installations. Usable either in au- tomatic or manual mode, the new fuel oil blending unit utilizes a full-flow viscometer, solid-state controls, and three-screw IMO pumps for maximum reliability.

The new bulletin presents a sum- mary of engineering information on design and operation of the new unit.
