Bergeron Delivers 260-Ft. Oceangoing Barge To Central Marine Service A new, $1.7-million deck barge almost a city block in length re- cently joined the fleet of Central Marine Service, Inc., New Or- leans-based barge rental com- pany. The CMS 1263, constructed by Bergeron Industries, Inc., meas- ures 260 feet long, 72 feet wide, and 16 feet deep. Designed for 2,000 pounds per square foot, the barge can carry 5,147 long tons of cargo at a load line draft of 12 feet 7% inches. The vessel, built to American Bureau of Shipping classification and certified by the U.S. Coast Guard for unmanned ocean serv- ice, contains 1,040 tons of steel and is equipped with heavy duty fenders. The design was model tested at the University of Michigan prior to construction. Killian L. Huger Jr., Central Marine president, said a sister barge of the same type is under construction at Bergeron and will be delivered in several weeks. Central Marine is one of the largest barge rental firms in the Gulf area, supplying a wide range of inland and ocean barges, avail- able at New Orleans, Houma, and Venice, La.; Houston and Aransas Pass, Texas; and Mobile, Ala. BUTTERWORTH® SFC BW separators feature a permanent filter bed (no dirty cartridges to change, no messy disposal). Automatic operation without attendance is available. U.S. Coast Guard approved. Special Filtering Material. One outstanding feature of SFC BW (Separator Filter Coalescer Bilge Water) Oil/Water Separators is the permanent final filter bed Composed of specially treated oleophilic particles, it can be used over and over again. With heavy use, an annual topping of 5% to 15% is the only filter bed maintenance required. Moreover, treated water discharges are typically less than 2 parts per million of oil... well below the maximum allowable 15 parts per million. Unattended Operation with Automatic Option. Because of the permanent final filter bed, SFC BW Separators ordered with the automatic option can operate unattended for weeks at a a pre-set degree of oil saturation, a very accurate vacuum-operated controller stops separation, initiates a cleansing back-flush cycle and sounds an alarm. After back-flushing, separation automatically starts again. The 20-minute back-flush cycle occurs only once every 12 to 24 hours of operation, depending upon oil concentration. Unique Compact Design. Because of the permanent filter bed. which requires only limited access annually, SFC BW units are very compact. All processing takes place in a single vertical cylinder requiring a minimum of deck space. A 2 cubic meter per hour unit, for example, is only 2 feet in diameter. Every SFC BW unit is equipped with its own pumps designed to meet a vessel's needs.They do not rely on existing bilge pumps. U.S.C.G. Approved. In U.S. Coast Guard certification tests, BUTTERWORTH1 SFC BW Oil/Water Separators exceeded U.S.C.G. and IMCO A.393(X) requirements. SFC BW Oil/Water Separators have also been approved in conformance with A.393(X) by France, Germany. Greece, Italy, Get All the Facts.
