OTC '81 (continued from page 51)

May 2, there will be three ad- vance registration sites located at the Hyatt Regency's Ebony

Room, the Astro Village's Forum

Five Room, and the Stouffer's

Greenway Plaza's Poinsettia

Room.

During OTC registration coun- ters will be open at three loca- tions in the Astrodomain Com- plex during Conference hours.

However, registration lines dur- ing the Conference may be long so registration by the other meth- ods is recommended.

NASA Tours

Tours are scheduled for Tues- day, May 5, and Wednesday, May 6, to the Lyndon B. Johnson Space

Center, departing from the As- trohall. Reservations may be made at the NASA tour desk in the

International Center in the Astro- hall.

The Lyndon B. Johnson Space

Center is one of the newest and

Hypochlorination Systems . . . the logical choice for Reading & Bates

Drilling Co.

Reading & Bates Drilling Co. chooses

CHLOROPAC hypochlorite generating systems for the same logical reasons as so many other oil producers. Econ- omy ... Effectiveness ... Safety.

ECONOMY - Depending on conditions, marine fouling of a seawater piping system on a drill rig can cause piping systems replacement which costs up to $225,000 - every three to ten years.

In comparison, an Engelhard CHLORO-

PAC system for a typical drill rig water system pumping 1700-2200 gpm costs about $15,000 installed!

EFFECTIVENESS - Reading & Bates chooses CHLOROPAC foronce-through salt water cooling systems on drill ships, tenders, and jackup drilling rigs. The reason? CHLOROPAC keeps cooling water flow at a maximum, prevents re- duced capacities and costly shutdowns,

SAFETY - Because the CHLOROPAC system is a chlorine substitute, it elimi- nates the need for personnel to handle dangerous chlorine. Also, it's a better alternative than acidizing or injection of other toxic chemicals - chemicals which are dangerous and hard to handle.

In addition, the CHLOROPAC system requires no flushing or acid cleaning because it's designed to prevent cal- careous deposits. And besides being easy to maintain, it's built for unattend- ed operation by Engelhard, whose sys- tems have been serving the marine industries for over 25 years.
