Marine Literature Review

Omnithrusters

For 25 years, Omnithruster has been a world leader in the develop- ment of waterjet maneuvering sys- tems. Our unique patented designs, which provide diverse maneuverability and auxiliary propulsion, have been the installa- tion choice on vessels worldwide. An omnithruster produces thrust continuously... with nozzles in or out of the water... in rough seas... in strong currents... while pitching, yawning, rolling or heaving. An

Omnithruster can even produce thrust while a vessel is underway at several knots, a condition in which conventional propeller thrusters are subject to cavitations and do not produce thrust, if at all.

Owens Kleen Tank

Marine Waste Water Treatment

Systems - 1 he Owen's Kleen Tank uses aeration and operates as an extended biological aeration sys- tem. It is self contained and deliv- ered to a site ready lor operation when site electrical and mechanical connec- tions are in place. The Kleen Tank can be designed for small, hard to fit areas and have a capacity from 33 GDP to thousands of gallons per day. Circle 134

SIEMENS

Intelligent automation sys- tems from Siemens help to ensure a most safe and comfortable operation of shipboard systems.

Process control is being delegated to small, intelli- gent units which operate on a decentralized basis and are linked with local net- works. This result enhances safety and reduces cabling.

Future oriented ideas also stand behind the Siemens diesel-electric propulsion systems. For example the economical operation through optimal utilization of fuel for diesel engines to generate electrical power, even in partial load ranges.

Or the high availability through modular design with small probability of total loss of propulsion power.
