TBW Industries Names Manufacturing Licensee For United Kingdom Elbar Engineering, Ltd., Moy- croft, Elgin, Scotland, has been appointed an exclusive manufac- turing licensee in the United Kingdom by TBW Industries In- corporated of Houma, La. In mak- ing the appointment, TBW presi- dent Robert M. Thompson said the agreement will cover the man- ufacture of the full line of Pnu- Tank pneumatic dry bulk convey- ing and storage equipment used for cement, barite, and bentonite used by the oil industry. Included is the patented "Hi- Vol" pressure tank, which incor- porates the micro-porous stain- less-steel aeration system and holds up to 30 percent more ma- terial than conventional cone- bottom tanks without increasing the installation space required— features which have led to an 85-percent share of the U.S. mar- ket in supply vessel installations over the past five years. Elbar Engineering becomes the sixth overseas licensee to be ap- pointed by TBW— others being located in Australia, Brazil, Can- ada, Japan, and South Africa. $4-Million Contract For SPM Terminal In Java Sea Awarded To IMODCO A contract valued at approxi- mately $4 million has been award- ed IMODCO, a unit of AMCA In- ternational Corporation, by the Independent Indonesian Ameri- can Petroleum Company for the design and construction of a Sin- gle Point Mooring terminal. To be sited in the Java Sea offshore Indonesia in 125 feet of water, the terminal will be capable of rapid integration and subsequent operation at either of two exist- ing berths in the Cinta Field without requiring modification to the prevailing mooring chain, cargo hose, or hawser systems. The Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM-type) SPM will include a four-grade MPDU to facilitate transference of pro- duced crude oil. The buoy will measure 13.5 meters in diameter by 14 feet deep, and consist of two 12-inch and two 20-inch pipe- runs. As designed by IMODCO, the SPM will accommodate the Cinta Natomas, a million-barrel-capac- ity tanker, under such maximum storm conditions as 33.5-foot waves, wind velocity of 68.4 knots, and current of 3 knots. Completion and installation is scheduled for summer 1981. P.Y.
