MECO Offers New Heat

Recovery Evaporators —Literature Available

Mechanical Equipment Compa- ny, Inc. (MECO), New Orleans, is marketing three new waste heat recovery evaporators for the pro- duction of fresh water. Applica- tions include offshore drilling rigs and production platforms, pipe- laying barges, tankers, cargo ves- sels, tugboats, survey ships, etc.

The units, which operate on the vacuum distillation principle, are available in models with capaci- ties of 100, 300, and 600 gallons per hour, and with dry weights of 950, 3,650 and 5,200 pounds, respectively.

The evaporators use waste heat from engine jacket water, turbine exhaust, or surplus steam to boil seawater or brackish water at low temperatures (usually 120 to 135

F), thus greatly reducing scale formation. The fresh water con- tains less than 4 ppm of total dis- solved solids, and meets U.S. Pub- lic Health Service purity stand- ards.

Each unit is a complete pack- age with evaporator shell, piping, heat exchangers, blowdown and distillate pumps, controls, gauges, instant Relief from IMCO Radio Monitoring from Electro-Nav^^^^^^^^H . . . and it won't cost you a bundle.

It's our new EN 2182R Watch

Receiver. We designed it to meet or exceed the very latest SOLAS 74/IMCO A.383 round-the-clock distress monitoring directives, and the pertinent requirements of just about every maritime regulatory agency in the world, CEPT, UK

Home Office, Scandinavia's PTT,

USA's FCC, you name it. And it's available right now, so you can forget about having to apply for additional extensions.

EN 2182R is compact, rugged, reliable, real state of the art. And fully flexible. With normal and muted operation. Integral loudspeaker and built-in test generator. Plus provisions for external speakers, alarm indicator and reset controls. And an optional digital clock which automatically lifts mute during silent periods. This watch receiver will mount anywhere, table, bulkhead, or overhead, so it won't get in your way. It operates on both AC and DC; all you do is plug it in and it's ready to go.

The low cost is also a relief.

Especially since no unit anywhere near the price of the EN 2182R comes anywhere near its performance. And it comes with a full year's guarantee.

So here's an easy way to get rid of a headache — before it starts. Call

Dome Petroleum Signs

Exploration Agreement

With Japanese National

Dome Petroleum Limited of

Calgary, Canada, announced it has entered into a letter of intent with the Japanese National Oil

Company. This letter confirms an agreement, in principle, whereby the Japanese National Oil Com- pany has agreed to lend Dome Pe- troleum Limited $400 million for use in conducting exploratory ac- tivities in the Beaufort Sea.

This loan is recoverable out of a share of production from three oil fields developed in the Beau- fort Sea. Under the arrangement,

JNOC has the right to grant de- velopment loans with respect to these three oil fields, with such loan also being recoverable from the Beaufort Sea production.

The Japanese National Oil Com- pany has the right to take in kind up to 25 percent of Dome's share of the crude oil produced from these three fields, dependent upon the percentage of development costs borne by the development loans.

Any export of petroleum hy- drocarbons to Japan is subject to all normal Canadian Governmen- tal approvals.
