Aqua-Chem, Inc. Announces

Top Executive Appointments

John K. Collings Jr., president of Aqua-

C'hem, Inc., Milwaukee, Wis., has announced the filling of top executive posts at the com- pany's Water Technologies Division and other realignments of responsibilities within the di- vision, which is a leading supplier of seawater desalting and water pollution control equip- ment. Mr. Collings said that Armando B. Stein- bruchel has been named president and Robert

R. Carnaroli executive vice president of the di- vision. Both posts had been vacant.

Mr. Steinbruchel has been with Aqua-Chem since 1958, most recently as regional manager.

He had previously been chief engineer for evaporator systems and played a key role in the development and growth of the company through his technological expertise in the en- gineering and design of present day Aqua-

Chem equipment. He was instrumental in the early development of Aqua-Chem's first water pollution control systems and the first long- tube flash evaporators for desalting seawater.

He also played an important part in the design and manufacture of the company's new Spray-

Film evaporators just recently introduced. A native of Switzerland, Mr. Steinbruchel had been with the Swiss firm of Escher Wyss, Ltd. before joining Aqua-Chem.

Mr. Carnaroli has been corporate controller of Aqua-Chem, Inc. for the past year. Prior to joining Aqua-Chem, he had been assistant gen- eral manager of the Electric Assembly Prod- ucts Division of General Cable Corporation and had earlier been with divisions of Interna- tional Telephone and Telegraph Corporation in management and financial posts. "These appointments, along with other re- assignments of responsibilities within the divi- sion, will give us a highly capable and efficient organization," Mr. Collings said. "Mr. Stein- bruchel has outstanding capabilities in seawa- ter desalting and water pollution areas, with broad experience in engineering and market- ing. Mr. Carnaroli is equally capable in admin- istrative and financial operations. We believe they will provide top level leadership for the

Water Technologies Division."

In other changes, the Water Technologies

Division has gone to the product manager con- cept, and Charles D. Rose, who was formerly vice president, sales, for the division will now become vice president, marketing, in charge of this new function.

Four product managers were named to re- port to Mr. Rose and are responsible for the full range of engineering, manufacturing and marketing of their lines. These are: Wilmer

Pergande, product manager for vapor compres- sion plants; Lee Hartenstein, product manager for marine products, pumps and vacuum sys- tems ; Wayne Wagner, product manager for packaged and field erected evaporators, chemi- cal waste and radioactive waste concentrators, industrial heat exchangers and pollution con- • ' trol equipment; and Richard M. Ahlgren, man- ager of research and development studies. All have been active with Aqua-Chem for a num- ber of years in their respective fields.

Mr. Collings also announced that Richard J.

Stayton has been named manager of order planning and control and Russell H. Pipkorn has been named divisional engineering man- ager.

Mr. Collings said the reorganization within the division is designed "to establish more di- rect and complete responsibilities within the various product areas which capitalizes on the broad experience of those promoted."

Newport News Jumboizes

Same Tanker Second Time

Sixteen years ago the Amoco Delaware was the first ship to be jumboized at Newport News

Shipbuilding, a job that established the yard as the innovator in tanker jumboizing. Now the

Amoco Delaware is back in Newport News for a second enlargement. When work is completed on her in December, she will stand as the first ship to be re-jumboized at the Newport News, Va., yard.

The new 486-foot forebody for the T-2 tanker Amoco

Delaware is launched at Newport News Shipbuilding, the first ship to be re-jumboized at the yard. When the en- largement is completed later this year, the Amoco Dela- ware will have grown 1 10 feet since her first appearance at the yard in 1956.

Successful launching of the new forebody took place recently and with it came a payment of $2,320,000 from her owners, Amoco Shipping

Company. The new forebody is 486 feet long and will extend the Amoco Delaware's length to 633.5 feet from her present 571.5 feet. When the T-2 tanker first came to the yard in 1956 she was only 523.5 feet long. Her new cargo capacity will be 237,000 barrels of oil.

The Amoco Delaware's jumboizing will be the 24th done by Newport News Shipbuilding.
