Maencor Adds New

Management Personnel

George A. Gabriles, president of Maencor, Inc., a Freeport, Tex- as, maintenance and engineering contracting firm for the marine, offshore, and chemical industries, has announced the addition of three management employees.

Harry F. Koester Jr. joins the firm as controller, George H.

Crook becomes manager of Tuff-

Kote, Inc., a joint venture that is a specialty coatings application company, and Richard M. Frugia has been appointed manager of sales and service for the Deutz

Diesel Engine Division.

For the past three years Mr.

Koester has been manager of

Fred A. Krenske and Company of Lake Jackson, Texas. Prior to that he was with Creole Produc- tion Services, and Peat, Marwick,

Mitchell and Company, both in

Houston.

Mr. Crook joined the Texas Di- vision of Dow Chemical Company in 1953, and advanced through various positions to assistant su- perintendent in the Varanol De- partment before early retirement in 1975. Before joining Maencor he was with Parson-Gilbane as site engineer at the Department of Energy Oil Storage Project.

Mr. Frugia has 35 years' expe- rience with diesel engines and marine equipment of all kinds.

He was formerly with Harley In- dustries, distributor of the Deutz air-cooled diesel line in Texas,

Oklahoma, and sections of Lou- isiana. He is a licensed Marine

Chief Engineer, and served in the

U.S. Coast Guard for more than 20 years before joining private industry as chief engineer with several marine companies.

Senermar Announce New

Mini-Computer Version

Of FORAN System

A major new development in

FORAN, the internationally rec- ognized computer aided system for ship design and production, was announced recently by Sen- ermar, a leading Spanish firm of naval architects and marine con- sultants. A new interactive ver- sion has been developed that al- lows FORAN not only to be used on main frame computers, as now, but also on mini-computers, which are rapidly being introduced by the world's shipyards.

This new version for mini-com- puters, which comes with graphic display units as a standard op- tion, means that FORAN is now financially within the reach of small to medium yards for the first time. It also means that

FORAN can be used by large yards, but on mini-computers as well as large main frame com- puters. The world's shipyards of today are increasingly decentral- izing their data-processing struc- ture and installing mini-comput- ers in their technical and produc- tion departments, thereby saving money and increasing efficiency.

The first contract for the new mini-computer version has al- ready been signed. It is with

ASCON, which is a medium to small Spanish yard at Vigo.

Major improvements have been introduced in both the design and production phases of FORAN in the new interactive version, in which the direct generation of lines becomes extremely power- ful and flexible.. The complete design of a new ship can now be accomplished in a few days.

When using mini-computers with the new version of FORAN, it is possible to arrange a turn- key contract for both hardware and software. This has been the case in the contract with ASCON, in which a Prime-450 computer is included.

Development Director

Marland Licensed To

Build And Market New

Oil/Water Separator

Bob Daniels, vice president of

Marland Environmental Systems,

Inc., has announced the recent signing of a license agreement with Skimovex B.V., a Nether- lands research and development company. Under the agreement,

Marland received exclusive rights to manufacture and market the

Inverto® oil/water separator for ships' bilge and ballast waters.

Conceived as a major improve- ment on existing separators, the

Inverto device fits well into Mar- land's growing line of high-reli- ability, advanced - technology products for the worldwide mari- time industry.

Totally self-cleaning, the In- verto utilizes two independent beds of a special granular mate- rial to coalesce small droplets of oil into large globules that are easily separated by gravity. Also acting as filters for solids sus- pended in bilge waters, these beds are back-flushed periodically as the flow of influent is reversed.

Although the unit is more com- pact than separators using con- ventional filtering techniques, its unique granular medium is said to permit far higher flow rates.

The Inverto is capable of pro- viding an effluent with oil con- tent far below 15 ppm, regardless of the degree of contamination of the influent. This places it comfortably within IMCO stand- ards.

The Inverto separator, in ca- pacities from .25 to 5.0 tons per hour (1-22 gpm), will be manu- factured at Marland's Wisconsin factory and distributed through the firm's worldwide sales and service network.
