Omnithrusters installed In Variety Of

Canadian Government Vessel Types

Omnithruster*Canada has deliv- ered a PV700 unit to Halifax Indus- tries Ltd. of Halifax, Nova Scotia, as part of a complete propulsion and auxiliary machinery package sup- plied by GEC Diesels Inc. of Etobi- coke, Ontario, for the Canadian

Coast Guard.

The PV700 Omnithruster is to be retrofitted to the 2,222-ton ice- strengthened Navaids Tender Nar- whal built in 1963 by Canadian

Vickers of Montreal, Quebec (now

Versatile Vickers).

Omnithruster hydrojet maneu- vering and propulsion equipment operates efficiently whether the ves- sel is in ballast or loaded, whether her speed through the water is high or low and in deep or shallow water.

In ice, the Omnithruster operates to disperse ice away from the vessel and its main propellers. Also, with optional Omniphaser units, the sys- tem can be used for ice lubrication by air/water injection around the hull.

Omnithruster systems are cur- rently installed in vessels of many types from tugs, barges and fishing boats to icebreakers, large cruise ships and tankers. Units manufac- tured in Sarnia, Ontario have been supplied to the Canadian Depart- ment of Fisheries and Oceans and to the Canadian Coast Guard, both for newbuildings and retrofits.

Omnithruster«Canada sales and service representatives are John W.

Shelley, Sarnia, Ontario (519/337- 3410), and Robert Hardman,

Vancouver, British Columbia (604/ 255-4341); and sales representative,

Allan MacKinnon, Beaconsfield,

Quebec (514/697-2225).

Valmet Opens New

Engineering Office

In Calgary, Canada —Literature Available

Valmet's Shipbuilding Group re- cently established a new engineer- ing affiliate in Calgary, Canada, pro- viding engineering services for Arc- tic marine and offshore projects mainly in Canada and the U.S. The founding partners besides Valmet are Arno Keinonen, D. Eng., and

Ed Wetherell, M.Sc. (Eng.), both earlier employed by Dome Petro- leum.

Although the company is new, the two partners represent some of the most extensive practical experience in Arctic offshore. The company is also able to offer the latest knowl- edge in the design of icegoing vessels and icebreakers in North America by combining the innovative knowl- edge acquired in Beaufort Sea de- velopment and the traditional Fin- nish knowledge based on long expe- rience. The founders have, for ex- ample, participated in the prelimi- nary design of the Polar class-8 ice- breaker for the Canadian Govern- ment. This vessel will be the biggest icebreaker in the world. "I believe that with the new com- pany, we shall find the way to par- ticipate in the design and construc- tion of Arctic vessels and offshore projects in Canada," said Harry

Lindroos, R&D manager of Val- met's Helsinki -Shipyard, also a member of the board of the new company.

The turnover of the company is expected to grow to USD 2 million during the first year.

Woodward Offers Brochures

On Turbine Modernization

And Cogeneration Process

The Woodward Governor Compa- ny of Fort Collins, Colo., has recent- ly published two new brochures, one on cogeneration entitled, "Control

System Design Guide," and another on the advantages of modernizing turbine-control equipment called, "Retrofit/Modernize Your Steam

And Gas Turbines."

The "Control System Design

Guide" brochure gives a brief his- tory of cogeneration and outlines the many roles reciprocating en- gines play in the cogeneration pro- cess.

Examples of electrical/mechani- cal energy control and thermal ener- gy control are studied. The booklet was designed to help planners and designers of cogeneration systems identify the controls that are avail- able for reciprocating engine appli- cations.

The "Retrofit/Modernize Your

Steam And Gas Turbines" brochure points out the advantages of replac- ing older inefficient control systems with modern electronic control sys- tems. Benefits such as: increased performance; increased reliability; increased flexibility; lowered opera- tional costs obtained through re- duced downtime; reduced mainte- nance; and calibration require- ments.

Several case studies of moderni- zation projects recently conducted are contained in the brochure.

Woodward offers a no-obligation consultation for customers inter- ested in updating existing systems or installing new cogeneration sys- tems and requiring assistance in se- lection of the correct control for the best system operation.

Woodward Governor Company is said to be the world's largest and oldest designer and builder of gover- nors and associated auxiliary de- vices.
