ABB Unit Wins $120 Million Contract

ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd. re- cently reported its Norwegian sub- sidiary EB Corp won a contract from

Saga Petroleum A/S for a subsea oil production system i the Tordis North

Sea oil field.

The contract was valued at about $120 million by the company.

EB Corp is now a fully owned subsidiary and has changed its name to ABB A/S.

Sea Recovery Introduces

Horizontal Split Frame

For Needs Of Megayachts

Reverse osmosis (R.O.) systems, developed, designed and manufac- tured by Sea Recovery Corp., are available in models capable of pro- ducing from 1,300 to 4,000 gallons (4,920 to 15,140 liters) per day from either sea or brackish water sources.

To ensure trouble-free performance from these systems, three complete research and development labora- tories are employed to test each com- ponent before it is installed into the final R.O. system.

Sea Recovery's most compact com- mercial R.O. desalinator is designed to suit the needs of megayachts, as well as onshore facilities (such as private residences, villas, and smaller hotels). The world's fore- most and most prestigious motor and sailing yacht builders specify and install this easily maintained

R.O. desalinator.

This system is extremely versa- tile as it comes in a two-piece hori- zontal split frame which may be separated for installation clearance.

The commercial system can now be installed in a wider range of conve- nient locations on board.

This horizontal frame measures 18 inches high by 26 inches deep, with a 58-inch width. The reverse osmosis membrane frame is 9-1/2 inches high by 26 inches deep, with a 58-inch width. A three-piece ver- tical frame configuration is also available.

Constructed with a lightweight, epoxy-coated frame, each unit uti- lizes only the highest quality ma- rine-grade materials and compo- nents. Features include a booster pump, oil/water separator, two com- mercial grade prefilters for added membrane protection and extended filter life. A vuiique low-voltage solid- state controller for measuring exact water quality with temperature com- pensated accuracy.

Upgrading a model to higher wa- ter-making capacity is done by sim- ply installing additional mem- branes.
