Mud Remover for shipboard bal- last tanks and similar marine ap- plications. Mr. Braid's new re- sponsibilities will also include coordinating customer service ac- tivities for all Hyde's marine products, as well as the applica- tion of marine chemicals to the company's marine pollution con- trol systems.
