Alfa Laval LEO System Installed In Gulf Of Mexico This LEO system for crude oil dehydration was installed in the Gulf of Mexico after careful testing by a major U.S. operator. The centrifuge in the center of the photo- graph completely replaces all dehydration equipment downstream of the free water knock-out tank to its right. A LEO system for a nominal capacity of 60,000 BOPD weighs approximately 25- tons. A coalescer of an equiv- alent flow rate designed for 20-min. retention time would weigh approximately 160- tons.

For more information on Owen-Short Marine Caterpillar Engine Division announced that the Cat 3500 Series B marine engines has become the first unit-injected, electronically-controlled marine engine to receive marine society-type approval from Lloyd's Register of Shipping and Bureau Veritas. Type approval was previously granted by the American Bureau of Shipping and Det Norske Veritas, and is pending with additional societies worldwide. The recent approval process focused on the electronic control system used by the Cat 3500 Series B engines, since type approval was granted previously for the engine mechanical design. Electronic control reportedly gives the engines superior fuel consumption and emissions control, as well as increased output.
