Ferrous Announces FMS,

System For Administering

Catalyst Into Fuel Oil — Literature Available

Ferrous Corporation, Bellevue,

Wash., a manufacturer of combus- tion catalyst for marine diesel and boilers has developed a complete system for administering catalyst into the fuel oil. The Ferrous Ma- rine System (FMS) provides the user with a proportioning pump, depulsing unit and 24-gallon day- tank for injecting Ferrous FE-4

Catalyst into the fuel oil at a ratio of one gallon per 3,000 gallons of fuel. The FMS automatic injection system mixes the fuel and catalyst with a minimum of effort and maintenance and a high degree of reliability. The standard FMS package also includes a 90 gallon storage tank.

The FMS proportioning pump allows accurate proportioning of

FE-4 Catalyst from the catalyst daytank into the fuel line. It is powered by a variable stroke, oil driven, diaphragm pump. The standard pump operates on 115

VAC. DC and multiphase pump motors are available on special or- der. The pump comes in various output capacities, measured in gallons per minute or hour, to meet virtually any fuel oil flow requirement.

The FMS Depulsing Unit is de- signed to smooth out the pumping pulses in the flow from the cata- lyst proportioning pump to the fuel oil line.

The FMS Daytank incorporates a sightglass and measuring mark- ings which allows easy on-board calibration. The daytank permits monitoring the addition of catalyst to maintain a constant "fuel to ca- talyst" ratio.

The FMS includes a pump mounting plate measuring 12 by 14 by 3 inches; the daytank meas- ures 15 by 15 by 32 inches. The system includes an in-line filter, pressure gauge and a spring-loaded in-line check valve as well as op- erating and installation manuals.
