Homogenized Fuel For

Cleaner Engines From Fuel

Technologies

The ENRJ high-energy homog- enizer is designed to operate in a fuel oil system downstream of the heater and strainer. ENRJ pro- duces a more homogeneous fuel, re- portedly reducing fuel consumption, opacity and particulate emissions.

ENRJ also reportedly reduces foul- ing of turbo chargers and waste heat boilers while also reducing high pres- sure fuel pump and injector wear.

Fuel oil at system pressure 90- to 120-psi enters ENRJ's high-pressure pump. It is then raised to 1,200-psi, at which point ENRJ's patented com- pensating precisely controls the pro- cess of instantaneous reduction of pressure back to original system pressure. This instantaneous re- duction in pressure creates 12,000 to 15,000-psi sheer stress which ac- complishes homogenization and re- duces all particulate to a more com- bustible state. Particles remaining in the fuel oil, even after purifica- tion, are broken down to less than 10 microns in size.

New Electric Drive

Azipod Honored

Kvaerner Masa-Yards and ABI

Stromberg Drives jointly developei the Azipod azimuthing electric pro pulsion drive, a development cho sen as a finalist in the ASME Petro leum Division's "Best Mechanica

Engineering Achievement Contest.

The first prototype 1.5 MW azipoi unit was installed on the Finnisl waterway service vessel Seili in lat< 1990. The results were reportedly so successful that Kvaerner Mas. and ABB signed an agreement fo: further development and sale of th<

Azipod in spring '92.

The world's largest azimuthin; propulsion drive, an 11.4MWazipoc unit, is currently under construc tion at Kvaerner Masa-Yards

Helsinki New Shipyard. The uni will be installed in Nermarc's 16,000 dwt Arctic tanker, the M/T Uikku

The new Azipod drive will be pow ered by a pair of Wartsila Vasa 12V35 diesel engines, each coupled to ai

ABB 6,200 kVA generator and oni

Wartsila Vasa diesel generator. Twc

Alfa-Laval heavy fuel separators anc four lube oil separators will also b( installed.

WesTech Gear Chosen As

Supplier For Deep Water

Project

WesTech Gear Corp. of Lynwood

Calif, has been selected to lead ar international team in the design manufacture, test and installatior of a fully-automated pipe tensioning system for deep water pipeline con struction. The system will be in stalled aboard the DP Pipelay Ves- sel Solitaire, currently under con- version by the Allseas Group. Prin- cipal sub-contractors for the pipe tensioning system include Bodewes of Nieuwerkerk, the Netherlands and Reliance Electric of Cleveland

Ohio.

WesTech will manufacture the three pipe tensioners, each of 10C metric ton capacity. These tensioners incorporate a unique pipe squeeze system, proven to minimize tensioner's adverse effects upon pipe while accommodating pipe anoma- lies. WesTech will also accomplish overall system integration, includ- ing interface with the vessel's dy- namic positioning system, and carrj out the responsibilities for project management for the pipe tensioning system.
