Circle 222 on Reader Service Card No ship is too small... to install an EVAC vacuum toilet system. if you need an economical and reliable toilet system for your ship (50 feet or longer), choose EVAC. EVAC has two standard models: Model 0111 — allows you to utilize your ship's hull tank, and; Model 1111 — includes our atmospheric holding tank. Both models have the same standard design and components; therefore, you do not pay for special design engineering. You do receive high quality components with a proven history of reliability. EVAC vacuum toilet systems already exist in over 2,000 recirculating ships worldwide. Model 0111 pump and Model 1111, with one m§f or two pumps, are avail- able from stock to ex- pedite delivery. «JB! overboard discharge Your tank or Our tank atmospheric holding tank Benefits for both models: low volume fresh water flush toilet (2 pints/flush)... 10 man crew produces 15 gals, of sewage/day small diameter piping... 1-1/2" and 2" piping layout flexibility... with vertical lift reduced holding tank size... 80°/o smaller toilet vents eliminated ENVIROVAC INC. 1260 Turret Drive, Rockford, IL 61111 U.S.A.

IL) EVAC ENVIROVAC SYSTEMS Circle 176 on Reader Service Card The U.S. Navy chose Seaward dock fenders to protect Pier Zulu, in Charleston, S.C.This new 20 million dollar pier is the prototype of the Navy's pier designs for the 1990's. Seaward's fenders have also been installed on new Navy berthing facilities in California, Florida, Virginia, Iceland, and the Philip- pines. These fenders are being included in the design of new home port facilities and are being used in the upgrading of Navy docks around the world. Seaward dock fenders are constructed of a tough, snag-free elastomer coating. And Seaward's closed-cell foam center has a very high energy absorption capacity but a low reaction force.These fenders provide stand-off and safely cushion the impact of approaching vessels, whether they're tugboats or battleships. Yet Seaward dock fenders are as easy to install as they are rugged. The U.S. Navy didn't settle for an ordinary fender to protect Pier Zulu. So why should you?
