ELIMINATE THAT OLD STEAM HORN

The Kahlenberg TRITON Piston Horn is a unique sound producing unit because it requires no compressed air and no diaphragms yet utilizes air vibrations in a tuned sound column. The unit consists of an electric motor driving a pis- ton with a cylinder similar in appearance to an air compres- sor. Very economical to operate and install. Write for bulle- tin. 92C. The KB-20 electric horn is available in 110 volt,

McDermott Subsidiary

Receives $25 Million Pact

For Chinese FPSU

Hudson Engineering & Project

Management Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott In- corporated, has received a contract valued at about $25 million from

Bohai Oil Corporation, a subsidiary of China National Offshore Oil Cor- poration in Beijing, for the engi- neering and procurement of all top- si^es oil and gas producing equip- ment for a planned floating produc- tion and storage unit (FPSU). The unit will be located near Shanghai in the Bohai Bay area off the coast of the People's Republic of China.

The floating production and stor- age unit is designed to separate oil from water and a small amount of gas from crude oil at a rate of 45,000 barrels a day, and to reinject seawa- ter into the production wells. Capa- ble of storing 52,000 metric tons of crude oil, the FPSU will be 689 feet long, with a beam of 108 feet and draft of 60 feet. Mechanical comple- tion of the unit is scheduled for the summer of 1993.
