Alfa Laval LEO System

Installed In Gulf Of

Mexico

This LEO system for crude oil dehydration was installed in the Gulf of Mexico after careful testing by a major

U.S. operator. The centrifuge in the center of the photo- graph completely replaces all dehydration equipment downstream of the free water knock-out tank to its right.

A LEO system for a nominal capacity of 60,000 BOPD weighs approximately 25- tons. A coalescer of an equiv- alent flow rate designed for 20-min. retention time would weigh approximately 160- tons.

A: Because they: • Save Time and Money. • Can send and receive messages beyond cellphone range. • Get a position fix on their vessels with each message, or more frequently if they like. • Send only the information they want, without the risk of unclear or garbled reception. • Get the data they need, when they need it, and can import it directly into their Information

Management System without having to re-enter it. • Want to manage their boats and their business, not their message traffic.

Caterpillar Engine Division announced that the

Cat 3500 Series B marine engines has become the first unit-injected, electronically-controlled marine engine to receive marine society-type approval from

Lloyd's Register of Shipping and Bureau Veritas.

Type approval was previously granted by the

American Bureau of Shipping and Det Norske

Veritas, and is pending with additional societies worldwide. The recent approval process focused on the electronic control system used by the Cat 3500

Series B engines, since type approval was granted previously for the engine mechanical design.

Electronic control reportedly gives the engines superior fuel consumption and emissions control, as well as increased output.
