Ensolve Biosystems Wins

Additional Orders

EnSolve Biosystems has won orders from Interlake Steamship Company to supply two PetroLiminator 630 biome- chanical bilge water treatment systems.

The PetroLiminator 630 systems will replace the existing conventional oily water separator systems on the 1,000-ft. (304.8 m) cargo vessels MV Mesabi

Miner and MV Paul R. Tregurtha. The installations will be completed during the winter layup period. The new order from Interlake follows on the successful sea trials of the PetroLiminator system on another Interlake ship, MV James R.

Barker, earlier this year.

The PetroLiminator 630 is a new, patented maritime oily water separator that uses bioremediation to treat bilge water so that it meets international clean-water standards for discharge into environmentally sensitive waterways. It contains safe, non-pathogenic, hydro- carbon-ingesting bacteria that converts oils, grease, detergents and other hydro- carbons into harmless end products.

Each vessel will be powered by a 22.9

MW diesel-electric plant supplying all propulsion and ancillary power require- ments. Each plant boasts two Wartsila 9L38B diesel engines each of 6,320 kW output at 600 rpm; two Wartsila 6L38B diesel engines generating 4,220 kW each; and one Wartsila 6L26 diesel engine providing 1.860 kW at 900 rpm.

Electric propulsion is provided by a sin- gle 16 MW podded drive.

The icebreakers will operate between the North Sea and refineries in the northern Baltic ports of Porvoo and

Naantali, and are being built to Ice
