GEOS Offers Database

Manual For Offshore Use

Essential data to support offshore exploration, development and produc- tion in the South East Asia region is available from Global Environmental & Ocean Sciences (GEOS). This data- base has been assembled as a new subscription service called SeaData.

Operational aspects covered by the

SeaData manual include seismic exploration; exploration drilling; field developments; design of flotation pro- duction systems and fixed structures; offshore installation procedures; pipeline routes and installation; and shipping movements and design of coastal facilities.

CHECK THESE UNIQUE QUALITIES ONLY FOUND IN THE GRIDCOOLER:

Completely assembled and factory tested to assure reliability. No complicated, time consuming assembly before installation.

Silver brazed and welded joints form a rugged keel cooler, no slip joints or "0" rings to leak.

Heavy guage 90/10 copper-nickel or 5000 series aluminum rectangular tube, structurally stronger with more cooling surface, and twice the wall thickness of other package kit type keel coolers with round tube.

Custom designed to meet owners operating conditions and the engine manufacturers exact cooling requirements.

The most compact form of keel

COOlIng, can be recessed for a flush with hull

WHY GAMBLE WITH DEPENDABILITY...

FERNSTRUM '* l\ is a

W "SURE THING!"

For over 40 years, we've been making cooling systems for all types of marine engines... and that's all we make. Our product is so durable, efficient and easy to install that the U. S. Navy wrote their keel cooling specifications around our Gridcoolers.

Why take chances when it comes to your engines' dependability?

Do it right the first time... get Fernstrum Gridcoolers.

System Converts Waste Oil

Into Diesel Fuel

Global Energy Recovery Corp. has introduced a new electronically-con- trolled system that reportedly filters, blends and converts used engine and other waste oils into an emulsified, water-free fuel for use in diesel engines. Dubbed WOTEC (Waste Oil

To Energy Converter), the system blends and pumps processed waste oil and diesel fuel at a rate of 15 gpm directly into a vehicle fuel tank or day tank for immediate use. It retrieves a free gallon of fuel from every gallon of waste oil processed.

The unit also reportedly increases engine fuel filter life up to 50 percent; extends the life of fuel injectors and fuel injection pumps; filters waste oil particulate matter sized four microns or larger; and removes emulsified or free-standing water. WOTEC addi- tionally increases fuel economy by raising fuel viscosity per gallon out- put. The WOTEC system's filtration process consists of two extended-life, depth media waste oil filters that hold up to four times their weight in particulate matter. The primary waste oil filter removes all particles six microns or larger, while the sec- ondary waste oil filter removes all particles four microns or larger. The processed and cleansed waste oil is then blended into the fuel oil by pass- ing through a viscosity-sensitive stat- ic mixer. The blended fuel is next sent to a final coalescer assembly that removes more than 99 percent of emulsified or free-standing water, as well as any particles five microns or larger.
