Bromination Systems From Everpure Provide Reliable At-Sea Water Treatment Providing passengers at sea a safe, reliable potable water supply is critical. The U.S. Public Health Service and the National Sanitation Foundation, the leading organiza- tions concerned with drinking water quality, have approved two methods of water treatment aboard ships: chlorination and bromination. Everpure, Inc., Westmont, 111., is a technological leader in the devel- opment and manufacturing of bro- mination equipment for use aboard ships. The company is currently supplying the second generation of September, 1990 bromination feeders for the U.S. Navy's newest ships, such as the Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), Nimitz Class aircraft carriers, the Coastal Minehunter MHC-51 Class, and the Fast Combat Support Ship AOE-6 Class. According to Everpure, bromina- tion equipment can be found aboard the U.S. Navy surface fleet and U.S. Coast Guard vessels, and on the majority of offshore oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Bromine, the company contends, is virtually tasteless and effective over a wide pH range. Also bromine is supplied in easy to change car- tridges, has a two-year shelf life and is not toxic or flammable in storage. No chemical measurement or physi- cal handling of the product is neces- sary, since bromination equipment features an automatic feeder. Manufactured of stainless steel, brass and bronze components, bro- mination systems have an average 20-year service life. And although brominators are initially more ex- pensive than other systems, Ever- pure believes that, because of lower maintenance and operating costs, future cost savings outweigh these differences.
