Here's why:

Passes Coast Guard and A.B.S. regulations.

The U. S. Coast Guard has determined that the Keene system complies with the safety requirements covered under the authority of marine inspection and navigation laws. It has received acceptance by the U. S. Coast Guard under the provisions of 33

CFR 155.400 for the processing of oily bilge slops, and a satisfactory review from the American

Bureau of Shipping.

Systems for every size vessel. Modular de- sign of components makes the Keene system appli- cable to everything from small tugboats to large ocean-going vessels. Over 14,000 gallons a day can be processed—ample capacity for even the largest vessels.

Backed by Keene's reputation. Work- boat owners know and trust us—we've been supplying the marine industry with Keene (Bowser) fuel and lube filters and other equipment for over 75 years.
