Laval EcoStream system uses fully automated, single stage centrifugal separation for highly effi- cient treatment of up to 1320 gallons per hour.

Title Innovative, eco-minded crankcase oil mist removal improves military logistics

By Theodore Esplin, Alfa Laval

Abstract As stricter air quality regulations are enforced, diesel engines must maximize the effi- ciency of crankcase oil mist removal to minimize their impact on the environment. In general, to achieve high removal efficiencies there are two basic options: fine filters or centrifugal separa- tors. While fine filters can offer high removal effi- ciencies, they have some definite limitations.

Title Command and Control Gets Cut

Down to Size

By Martyn Dickinson

Abstract Tight budgets for integrated solutions on patrol craft lead to compromise on mission performance. In today's heightened levels of threat and a required increase in capability of smaller vessels, the information system on the vessel has to be improved. Command and

Control of all ship systems and sensors can be networked to multiple redundant stations without weight or cost penalties. In hostile conditions, vulnerable positions such as the bridge do not
