order with Wartsila Diesel for the engineering, construction, start-up and delivery of a barge- mounted power plant. The $40 million barge- plant will be located alongside the existing facil- ity, and will include nine Wartsila Diesel 18V32 engines (5.7 MW each). Installation completion was planned for early May of 1994. The current facility is comprised of three Wartsila Diesel 18V32 engines (5.5 MW each).

Eldridge Wartsila Vasa 6R20 Engines To Japan Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Kobe, Japan has ordered auxiliary engines of the Wartsila Vasa 20 design. The order is for Wartsila Vasa 6R20 engines for two 38,000-cu.-m. LPG-tank- ers to be built for Belgian ship owner Exmar. Each of the two ships will be equipped with three Wartsila Vasa 6R20 generating sets. The engines will be operated on HFO up to 600 cSt/ 50° C from start to stop. The engines will be delivered from the Wartsila Diesel Vasa factory during 1994; the two vessels will be delivered during 1995.

Awards FCS Contract To Supply Oil/Water Separators For Fire Boats FCS, Inc. received a contract from the City of New York to furnish three oil/water separators for the City's fire boats. The equipment to be supplied are Bilge Boy™ units manufactured by Nelson Industries. (FCS is an authorized distributor of Nelson products.) The City of New York Fire Department's concern for clean water prompted the department to outfit its fire boats with oil/ water separators. New York City wanted equip- ment that met the following requirements: ap- proval by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG); low cost; compact; easy to install; and capable of being operated manually or set up for automatic opera- tion. The Bilge Boy units meet these require- ments and will be installed on active fire boats operated by the City of New York. The oil/water separators are reportedly efficient in removing oil from the bilge water, and are approved by both the USCG and the IMO. These units, which are available in two capacity ranges (2.5 and 7.5 gpm), have also been approved by the Canadian Coast Guard.

It was christened by Marco A. Subero Sajium, administrator general of Corporacion Dominicana de Electricidad (CDE), in a cer- emony attended by industry and company rep- resentatives. The power barge is now on its way to Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, Present at the launching in Morgan City, La. of the La Isabella floating power plant were (I. to r.JMarco A. Subero Sajium, administrator general of Corporacion Dominicana de Electricidad; Torsten Astrom, vice president - Power Plants of Wartsila Diesel, Inc.; and Rolando Gonzalez Bunster, president of Compania Electricidad de Puerto Plata. where it will be used to triple the capacity of an existing power plant. La Isabella is 256.5 feet (78.2 m) long, with a beam of 76 feet (23.2 m), depth of 14 feet (4.3 m) and draft of seven feet (2.1 m). The barge delivery marks a major bench- mark in an agreement between Compania Electricidad de Puerto Plata, S.A. and CDE, the Dominican Republic's electrical utility, to ex- pand an existing 19.2 MW power plant by 50 MW.

The operating principle of the EcoVent Recirculator is to pass blow-by gases through highly absorbent media. The entrained oil droplets then deposit or coalesce on the media. Eventually, the droplets saturate the media and drain harmlessly into the bottom of the EcoVent, ready for collection or return to the oil sump. The crankcase fumes leaving the EcoVent are commonly piped to the air inlet of the engine. By piping to the inlet side of the air cleaner, a 0.0-0.3 inches of water crankcase pressure is established. This pressure level is achieved by varying the distance of the outlet piping from the air cleaner. The closer the outlet is to the air cleaner, the greater the suction across the EcoVent product, according to the manufacturer. EcoVent Recirculators are available in four stan- dard models designed for marine and industrial diesel or natural gas engines. Models can also be custom designed for larger gas turbine and slow- to medium-speed diesels. The units are sized to handle flow rate changes from new engine to overhaul conditions. EcoVent Recirculators have, according to the company, proven effective on hundreds of workboats, transportation research and pleasure crafts, as well as U.S. Navy and Coast Guard vessels around the world.
