William Bohn, president, said automation packages will be assembled in advance and in-stalled with piping and brick work at dockside during regular inspection and repair periods. Final electrical connections can be made at sea by an electrician assigned to sail with the ship. Mr. Bohn said the basic installation of au-tomated equipment with piping and brickwork could be completed within 10 days at dockside and the electrical work completed at sea in an additional four days. Burner-boiler management system automa-tion provided by Todd-CEA includes auto-matic controls for burner flames, water, fuel pressure, fuel temperature, atomizing steam pressure, fuel oil strainer cleaning, and op-tional automatic soot blowers. A throttle station console provides continual information on automated functions, visual and audio alarms for failure in the automated system and a secondary safety system for auto-matic shutdown in case of air failure ; extremely low water, or complete burner flame failure.
