Wins NRC Contract McElroy Machine & Mfg. Co., Inc. of Gulfport Miss, has been awarded a contract from National Response Corporation (NRC) to construct eight aluminum oil containment boom storage reels. Each reel has 7.5-foot flanges, is 20 feet long, and is designed to hold 2,700 feet of oil recovery boom. Presently in production at McElroy's facility are 36 boom storage reels for Marine Spill Re- sponse Corporation (MSRC). The frames are built to ISO container standards and are directly driven by a hydraulic motor through a planetary reducer. A clutch and brake are included and are ready for operation when connected to the ship's hydraulic supply. And finally, McElroy Machine has delivered a paddlewheel drive system to Bender Shipbuilding's Braithwaite, La. yard. This sys- tem will be installed on the "Star Casino" riverboat presently under construction there. The system consists of two gear reducers each driven by two 200-hp radial piston motors. Hy- draulic reservoir, pilothouse and engine room control panels and hydraulic pump are to be mounted to the vessel's diesel drive. The com- plete system was furnished with ABS and USCG approval.

Two automatically operating self-cleaning purifiers type WSA 100 will be used for drain water treatment. Each purifier has a capacity of 40,000 1/h. The residuals in the discharging purified water are reportedly well below the currently specified Norwegian emission values. The dewatering and desalting of diesel oil will be handled by two self-cleaning separators type OSB 35 equipped with the Varizone system. The capacity of each separator is 15,000 1/h. The sodium content in the purified diesel oil is to be reduced to 0.02 ppm. Both separator installations are designed so that safe operation is guaranteed even in heavy seas. The choice of material meets the high requirements of the products to be processed (e.g. salt content). Commissioning is scheduled for 1995.
