SACM Publishes Brochure

On Marine Diesel Engines —Copies Available

A 12-page full color brochure detailing the range of the com- pany's marine diesel engines has been published by SACM of Mul- house, France. The company is represented in the U.S. by F.W.

Donnelly Company of Houston,

Texas.

SACM manufactures a range of diesel engines from 400hp through 8,000hp which are well regarded for their high perform- ance, lightweight engine range, and for their medium speed en- gine range capable of burning heavy fuels.

The introduction of SACM en- gines to the U.S. was made re- cently with the sale by the Don- nelly company of eight SACM 175 V12 RVR engines to Com- mand Marine for use in a series of four surface effect ships being built by Halter Marine.

The brochure contains photo- graphs and specifications of the full range of engines; a brief his- tory highlighting the technical accomplishments of the 155-year- old company; a description of en- gine applications; and the serv- ices provided by SACM and its subsidiaries for diesel engines used for main propulsion, pump- ing units, and generating sets.

GREAT CREW BOATS . . . AND A WHOLE LOT MORE

MORE CARGO • MORE EXTRAS • MORE BOAT

Bob Daniels, vice president,

Marland Environmental Systems,

Walworth, Wis., has announced that a new product bulletin on the firm's improved design of the

Inverto®, oil/water separator is available.

The Inverto bulletin describes the principles of operation and illustrates the flow pattern of the oil water through the basic unit, which is available in six basic ca- pacities—1.0-1.5, 2.0-2.5, and 4.0- 5.0 tons/hour.

Complete specifications, includ- ing dimensions, weight and elec- trical requirements are included.

The Inverto is the result of years of research and develop- ment into the simplest, efficient and most cost effective method of separating oil from water for both bilge and ballast, with no replac- able filters and no use of con- sumables.
