Hudson's Penco Div.

U.S. Rep For Howden

Inert Gas System

Penco Division, Hudson Engineer- ing Company of Hoboken, N.J., has been appointed U.S. representative for the Howden Inert Gas System.

They will manufacture the system in

New Jersey for U.S. installations and will also market it to their do- mestic customers who are having ships built abroad.

The Howden System provides tanker protection by reducing the ox- ygen to a level that is insufficient for an inflammable mixture whatever the hydrocarbon concentration might be.

This is accomplished by taking low content flue gas from the boilerplant, cleaning and cooling it and then dis- tributing it to the cargo compart- ments.

The system consists of a scrubber that cleans and cools the gas, fans that draw the gas from the uptakes and supply it at a positive head to the tanks, and a positive dry liquid seal that prevents backflow of hydrocar- bon gases. In addition, there are valves to isolate uptakes and fans, and to control output; controls to govern pressure to the tanks; alarms to warn of low gas pressure and fault conditions, and instruments to monitor the gas and pressure.

Penco is also the manufacturer of the PrimaVac System which converts any centrifugal pump to an automatic self-priming pump.

Turbo Power in 5 LNG tankers is like getting a 6th tanker free.

Incredible? Here's the evidence.

First, the 8-hour changeout of our FT4

Marine Power Pacs means you get back those 15 days of downtime required (at some $125,000 per day!) for servicing con- ventional powerplants. Proof? The hundreds of on-time sailings by turbo-powered con- tainerships.

Second, our gas turbines boost speed to 23 knots, versus 19 knots. And they're ideal for twin screws—for improved maneu- verability and 30-50% shorter emergency stopping distances. That in turn can lower your insurance costs.

It adds up this way: turbo power's extra availability and speed allow each LNG tanker to make 21 round trips a year, versus only 17 trips. Which means 5 tankers can do the work of 6.
