Organism Control "Marine Organism Control for

Seawater Supply Systems" is the title of a new four-page brochure from Pacific Engineering & Pro- duction Company of Nevada (PEP-

CON). Described and illustrated are PEPCON electrolytic seawater systems that generate from 10 pounds per day to any required amount of sodium hypochlorite.

Included are typical flow dia- grams for system applications at coastal power plants and fire pro- tection systems, offshore plat- forms, desalination plants, and other seawater piping installations.

Washburn & Doughty

Announces Signing Of

Three Vessel Contracts

Washburn & Doughty Associ- ates, Inc. of Woolrich, Maine, has announced the signing of three construction contracts and the company's entry into two new markets—a sail-powered passen- ger vessel and an offshore lobster boat.

Currently under construction is the 73-foot Bay Lady II, a gaff top sail schooner building for Bay Lady

Cruises of Bar Harbor, Maine. De- signed by Wallstrom & Watkins

Associates of Blue Hill, Maine, the new vessel features a triple chine hull and will accommodate 49 pas- sengers for day sailing in Maine waters.

Built to Washburn & Doughty boatyard standards, which meet or exceed ABS requirements for steel vessels under 200 feet, the Bay

Lady II will also be in full compli- ance with applicable U.S. Coast

Guard regulations for carrying passengers for hire, lakes, bays and sounds.

The second contract, with the

Palombo Lobster Company of

Sandwich, Mass., is for a 65-foot offshore lobster boat designed by

Washburn & Doughty. With prin- cipal dimensions of 65 by 18 feet by 6 feet 4 inches, this vessel will be longitudinally framed through the midportion, with transverse framing forward. Her main engine will be a Detroit Diesel 8V71 rated 230 bhp at 1,800 rpm. Reverse gear will be a Detroit Allison with 3:1 reduction ratio. Delivery is scheduled for July this year.

The third contract has been signed with Poseidon Fishing Inc. of Fairhaven, Mass., for a 107-foot scalloper designed by John Gilbert of Boston. This boat will be a first for the U.S. East Coast fishing in- dustry in that all the engines will be manufactured by Deutz of Ger- many, sold through Fairhaven

Marine of Fairhaven, Mass. The main engine will be a Deutz S/

BVM 628, a four-stroke, in-line 6- cylinder engine featuring direct injection. It is rated at 1,264 con- tinuous bhp at 900 rpm. The re- verse/reduction gear will be by

Reintjes.

This scalloper will have accom- modations for a crew of 16, fin- ished in formica trimmed with ma- hogany. Delivery is expected in the fall of 1984.

New Westfalia concept for

Highest purification efficiency, top fuel ecora my

Oil

Discharge

UNITROL Separator SECUTROL Clarifier

Purify heavy oils with densities up to 1010 kg/m3

Eliminate need for gravity discs

Maximum oil purity maintained even with varying feed conditions — sediment, water, density, temperature

Can be incorporated into existing systems with minimum cost

Utilizing two Automatic Oil Purifiers in a two- stage system, this new Westfalia concept for low grade heavy fuel oil achieves the highest levels of oil purity. The first stage is a Westfalia "Clnitrol"

Separator, the second stage a Westfalia "Secutrol"

Clarifier.

The Clnitrol Separator design allows purification of oils of widely varying densities up to 1010 kg/m3. Any water present is discharged automatically by sensor, thus eliminating the need for gravity discs.

The Secutrol Clarifier is the "supervisor" of the system — assuring maximum oil purity even with drastic increases in sediment content of the feed.

Secutrol acts as a fuel monitor: Because of the unique, sophisticated de-sludging control, there are minimum oil losses and minor sludge disposal problems.

The Westfalia two-stage system is available as a completely equipped module called "Centri-Pack".

Centri-Pack comes with all necessary components built in: Westfalia Oil Purifiers, piping, wiring, pumps, motors, heaters, strainers, etc. mMm Centrico, Inc. 100 Fairway Court, Northvale, N.J. 07647 (201) 767-3900
