Krupp Atlas Has Major

Orders For Atlas Polarfix — Literature Available

The U.S. Army Corps of Engi- neers is one of several major U.S. and European survey and port or- ganizations which have ordered

Krupp Atlas Elektronik's new Po- larfix combined range/azimuth laser based dynamic position fix- ing system. The Corps has com- missioned a system for general in- shore survey work in the Delaware area.

Among leading European au- thorities which have ordered sys- tems is the Port of Huelva in

Spain. It plans to carry out major harbor and channel approach sur- veys using Polarfix interfaced to

Desco 20 echosounders and an At- las SUSY 30/16 automated hydro- graphic survey system for the pro- cessing of both on and off-line data. The combination of Polarfix,

Desco 20 and a SUSY 30 system also forms the basis of a fully au- tomated Atlas survey configura- tion scheduled for delivery later this summer to the Faroese gov- ernment survey authority,

Landsingenioeren.

Newly developed by Krupp At- las Elektronik, the Polarfix sys- tem is designed for short-range po- sitioning applications. Using a single shore-based tracking sta- tion linked to onboard telemetry facilities, combined tracking and measuring functions are fully au- tomatic. The system has an accu- racy of 0.2m per km of measured range over distances of 5km or beyond.

Fram Offers 20-Page Color

Brochure On Its CPS-3

Marine Separator

A new 20-page color brochure describing the Fram CPS-3 marine separator is available free from

Fram Industrial Filtration & Sep- aration. The CPS-3 is a highly ef- ficient coalescing plate separator designed especially for separation of oil and solids from shipboard bilge water. It is ideally suited for retrofit on existing vessels due to the ultra-compact size of the unit.

The brochure contains text, color illustrations, photos, drawings and graphs fully describing construc- tion details, performance records, customized configurations, gravity flow systems, retrofitting and pres- surized systems.

The CPS-3 exceeds IMO stand- ards and is U.S. Coast Guard ap- proved. The unit will process 3 gallons per minute to purities of 15-ppm oil content or less, with no costly filter elements or cartridges that result in hazardous waste disposal.

It is designed for manual or fully automatic operation, and re- quires very little maintenance.

Only periodic cleaning of the plate packs is required for normal oper- ation. The unit also eliminates the need for any holding tanks, and the need for waiting in line for dis- charge to an on-shore facility.

Aqua-Dyne Offers Brochure

On Jet-Blasting Equipment

Aqua-Dyne Corporation of

Houston, Texas, has published a 12-page color brochure on their high-pressure jet-blasting equip- ment used as an industrial surface cleaning tool. Handsomely wrapped in a panoramic view of the Grand

Canyon with the caption "Nature took millions of years to cut and wash the earth with water," the cover serves as a picturesque premise on which the brochure draws a point: utilizing the per- formance characteristics of water at ultra-high pressure, Aqua-Dyne- manufactured jet-blasting equip- ment works economically using fresh or salt water to cut and wash away, in seconds, most natural and man-made materials.

Surfaces and materials that can be cut and washed with Aqua-

Dyne jet-blasting equipment are listed, such as tubes, pipes, plain surfaces, tanks, etc., and there are photos of the equipment actually being used, as well as various Jet-

Blaster models of Aqua-Dyne- manufactured systems shown in color with specification data given for each. Aqua-Dyne pumps are also discussed with cutaway draw- ing and photo, and there are some 18 Aqua-Dyne accessories illus- trated with color photos along with a description of each.
