DEFCO Offers Free

Literature On Diesel

Products And Services

Diesel Engine & Fabricating Co.,

Inc. (DEFCO) of Houston, Texas, one of the world's largest precision remanufacturers of GM EMD, De- troit Diesel and Caterpillar engines, has published a free full-color bro- chure on the products and services offered by the company.

DEFCO remanufactured engines and parts have been extensively used for over 20 years for marine propulsion, land and offshore drill- ing rigs, mining, and general con- struction equipment besides prime power and standby generator sets.

According to the literature, the quality and reliability of these re- manufactured engines led to the

U.S. Army's selection of DEFCO engines for the prime propulsion power for the new Logistics Support

Vessel (LSV) program.

The brochure notes that DEFCO is one of the few companies in the world that can rebore an EMD on the customer's location to exacting specifications, and that DEFCO en- gines, whether rebuilt, remanufac- tured as a complete package, or ser- viced at the site are 100 percent guaranteed to perform as specified.

According to the company, cus- tomers will also find DEFCO's pric- ing policy to be more than just com- petitive. Engines, parts and service are priced to assure the highest quality at a lower cost than most are probably accustomed to paying.

Today more than ever it's critical to increase your ship's efficiency. Our on-board inspection teams show you how retrofitting Alfa-Laval equipment can help you do just that.

At Alfa-Laval we know that retrofitting our fuel, lube, and fresh water system products can mean some pretty dramatic increases in your ship's efficiency. Particularly if your ship is 10 to 15 years old.

So we've put together our on-board inspec- tion teams to show you exactly what Alfa-Laval products can do for your ship. They'll outline everything you need to know. From modifica- tions that will have to be made to how the new equipment will interface with existing equip- ment to cost and payback analyses.

They'll show you, for example, what role retrofitted Alfa-Laval systems can play in making an unmanned engine room as efficient as it can be. Our teams will also show you the full line of

Alfa-Laval products that can be retrofitted to your ship.

Products like the MMPX® self-cleaning centrifuge that's more compact than any com- petitive centrifuge of comparable capacity.

Like the remarkable fully automatic

ALCAP® separating system that allows you to run your ship efficiently on hunker fuels of up to 1010 Kg/m' in density.

Like our compact and efficient Plate Heat

Exchangers and the ENGARD® control system that cuts the operating costs of your ship's central cooling pump system.

Like our fully automatic, low-maintenance

NIREX"" water makers that produce the highest quality water of any available system.

The upshot of all this is that when our peo- ple make a housecall on your ship, they bring you a number of ideas and a range of products that can increase your ship's efficiency and maximize your cost effectiveness.

And that's just what the doctor ordered.
