New Boiler Cleaning

Technique Offers Savings

For Vessel Owners —Literature Available

Infrasonik AB of Finspong, Swed- en, is offering literature on a new boiler cleaning technique that offers savings for vessel owners.

The eight-page color brochure, entitled "Infrafone—the new ap- proach to boiler cleaning," explains that the technique is based on main- taining a constant sound pressure in an enclosed space by generating in- frasound—sound waves with a low frequency (approximately 20 Hz) and a long wavelength (17-30 m).

The Infrafone equipment consists of a sound generator comprising an air feeder unit connected to a quarter- wave resonator in the form of a reso- nance tube. In simple terms, the equipment works like an organ pipe, and its only source of power is an air blower.

The company says that the tech- nique is simple, and despite the fact that it is young it has already pro- duced convincing proof of being vastly superior to conventional methods of sootblowing. Advan- tages listed are: appreciably more efficient cleaning; high efficiency— lower operating costs; wear is elimi- nated—maintenance is minimized; the pay-off time is less than one year; installation is simple, involv- ing a boiler stoppage of no more than one day; and since infrasound is non-directional, the equipment can be located virtually anywhere.

The technique is said to perform excellently on boilers fired with most fuels—coal, oil, wood chips, bark, peat, municipal refuse, mag- nesium oxide and black liquor.

The publication is well illustrated with drawings, charts and color pho- tos.

Gulfport Orders Second

Paceco Container Crane —Literature Available

John R. Martin, president of

Paceco, Inc. of Gulfport, Miss., has announced the receipt of an order for a new Paceco Portainer® crane from the Mississippi State Port Au- thority at Gulfport. The ship-to- shore, container-handling gantry will be capable of loading or unload- ing 20- and 40-foot containers weighing up to 30 long tons each at an average rate of 30 boxes per hour.

The new crane will be installed on the Port Authority's West Pier alongside an Economy Portainer that has been operating there since 1979. The new crane will be faster than the older unit, and have an outreach of 115 feet versus 84 feet, and a lifting height of 80 feet against 60 feet for the smaller crane. With its greater capabilities, the new Por- tainer will enable Gulfport to ser- vice Panamax size containerships.

Since the introduction of the high-speed container-handling crane by Paceco in 1959, the compa- ny and its licensees have manufac- tured more than 300 units of this type, and in a recent report were credited with a 34-percent world market share.
