Chevron Selects Elinca

System For 5 Ships —Literature Available

The Elinca marine growth and corrosion control system, mar- keted in North America by Blume

Worldwide Services, Scarsdale,

N.Y., has been selected by Chev- ron Shipping Company, San Fran- cisco, for protection of the main seawater service systems and con- densers on five VLCCs operated by the firm. The vessels selected for

Elinca protection are C.W. Kitto,

Chevron London, Howard W Bell,

Chevron South America, and

Chevron Burnaby.

The system is electrolytic in ac- tion, using special copper anodes, and either aluminum or iron an- odes, which are fitted in the scoop and the sea chests or special strainer housing. These installa- tions utilize the copper-iron anode combination since protection of the Cu-Ni condenser tubes against impingement corrosion was a ma- jor concern.

Slow, controlled dissolution of the anodes on these vessels re- leases copper, which creates an en- vironment which is hostile to the primary forms of marine fouling and iron, which forms an alkaline anodic coating on the piping and condensers thereby greatly reduc- ing impingement corrosion poten- tial in the condensers. Seawater flow past the anodes effects distri- bution of the anode products throughout the system, insuring entire system protection.

This order brings to over 50 the number of Elinca Systems which have recently been installed on

U.S.A. ships, jack-up and semi- submersible drill rigs and drill- ships, offshore oil and gas plat- forms, and tug/supply boats for worldwide operation.
