(Continued from page 24) ciple of the design is to share the propul- sive power between two screws so that it is possible to employ propellers with a lower specific loading and very high efficiency which, as well as producing less noise and vibration, also allow sig- nificant savings in energy consumption to be made.

Rochem Snags $2 Million

Celebrity Order

As the cruise market comes under con- tinued scrutiny for its environmental practices, companies — such as

Rochem Environmental, Inc. — that manufacture advanced environmental solutions should flourish.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.-owned

Celebrity Cruises recently awarded

Rochem Environmental a $2 million contract to install a Rochem FM-Mod- ule gray water membrane system on two of its ships, Galaxy and Mercury. The contract has an option for three addi- tional units.

Gray water, almost 90 percent of which is coming from a cruise ship's sinks and staterooms, can be legally dis- charged in most places. By using the

Rochem system, Celebrity expects to significantly purify gray water that is released.

The membrane system rejects bacte- ria, suspended solids and organic matter, making the equipment suited for gray water treatment. "We believe this is another important step forward in our

Above and Beyond Compliance (ABC) environmental management system," said Nancy Wheatley, vice president of

Safety and Environment for Royal

Caribbean Cruises.
