Paul Puckorius Named Zimmie Vice-Pres. Paul R. Puckorius W. E. Zimmie, Inc., a leading supplier of specialty chemicals and deck machinery to the marine in-dustry, has announced the election of Paul R. Puckorius as vice-presi-dent. The company's patented mud re-mover, Zimmite, is used to treat the ballast tanks of 80 percent of the Great Lakes fleet. Earlier this year Zimmie, Inc. announced ac-quisition of the marine products business of Hyde Division of Bath Iron Works Corporation. Mr. Puckorius, widely known in the field of cooling-water treatment and technology, had been associ-ated with Nalco Chemical Co. for the past 16 years where he former-ly was manager of the cooling-wa-ter chemicals department. Commenting on Mr. Puckorius' joining the company, Mr. Zimmie said, "We have long considered him one of the top people in cooling-water technology in the country. Under his guidance, we expect to continue our program of develop-ing a broad line of non-toxic chemi-cals for total water management." Mr. Puckorius has been a guest lecturer at the chemical engineer-ing departments of the University of Wisconsin and the University of Iowa. He also has delivered papers at the International Water Confer-ence and National Association of Corrosion Engineers. He has au-thored approximately 30 articles on water technology. A graduate of North Central College, he was a member of the board of directors of the Cooling Tower Institute and active in local and national com-mittees of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, American Petroleum Institute, and American Water Works Association. Zimmie, Inc.'s line of products includes a patented mud remover, Zimmite. This polyelectrolytic chemical changes the consistency of mud to reduce natural adhesive-ness, thus permitting easy removal from system piping. Last year, the company introduced the only chem-ical available which offers a non-toxic, combination treatment for mud, scale and rust. The company's products are sold to the primary metals, chemical processing and marine industries and are also used widely in commercial buildings to treat central air-conditioning sys-tems.
