Omnipure Awarded $1.3-Million Contract

From Canadian Navy

A contract was awarded recently to Omnipure, a division of Sigma-

Chapman, Inc., Houston, Texas, ex- ceeding $1.3 million to design and build Marine Sanitation Devices (MSD) for six new patrol frigates of the Canadian Navy, according to

Leonard Langeland, Omnipure president. "These particular MSD units," said Mr. Langeland, "will be spe- cially designed for high-impact shock resistance, and engineered for extremely low noise and vibration levels."

Mr. Langeland also stated that the smaller size and reduced weight of these MSD units on each 224- man vessel will allow additional equipment and supplies to be car- ried.

The Canadian Navy's decision to add these MSDs represents a grow- ing trend of navies throughout the world to honor the "good citizen" concept of proper sewage treatment before discharge at sea.

The Omnipure MSD utilizes a patented electrocatalytic process for the treatment of both black and

New IMA Report On Future

U.S. Navy Procurement

Now Available

A totally new report has been completed by IMA. It is a thorough- ly professional assessment of future

U.S. Navy procurement. The report is designed to assist U.S. and foreign firms interested in selling to the $40-billion-per-year U.S. Navy mar- ket.

The 220-page report will be useful to business planners and marketing managers. It looks at the Navy through the businessman's eyes. All aspects of procurement are cov- ered—shipbuilding, electronics and ordnance, mechanical systems, sys- tems integration, and engineering services. Information in the report is current as of April 1985 and in- cludes the DDG 51 award.

This is the fourth report prepared by IMA dealing with business op- portunities thrown off by future

U.S. Navy programs. Last July,

IMA published an analysis of future

Navy ship maintenance and over- haul. Each report is designed to pro- vide data useful in setting business strategy and market plans.

As in previous reports the empha- sis is on the future. Navy spending plans over the next 3-5 years are identified. Specific programs are then assessed to highlight the types of available business opportunities.

Exhibits and appendices provide statistical data reporting contract awards and projected program quantities and costs.

Backup information required for market planning is included. Cur- rent competitors are identified.

Navy planning and procurement management procedures are con- cisely described. Rules and proce- dures for market entry by U.S. and foreign firms are provided. Names and phone numbers are listed in a convenient format for marketing follow-up in Navy and industry.

Quarterly updates to the basic report will be issued. They will report changes which affect indus- try over the coming year. The first update will be issued August 1.

The report and four quarterly up- dates are available for $480. To order please send check or purchase order to International Maritime As- sociates, Inc., 1800 K Street, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20006. Orders can also be telecopied to (202) 293-7503 or telexed to IMA 64325.
