Workboat Report • Offshore Environmentally Sound, Commercial Efficient Wastewater Treatment Quality wastewater treatment is the driving force behind the daily operation of Owens Manufacturing & Specialty Co. For more than 20 years, its Kleen Tank product has worked in the marine and offshore markets to ensure that clean water is the rule, not the exception. Owens, unlike many other marine manufacturers, was founded to provide marine industry solutions, not vice versa, and its product line has since expand- ed to additional land-based applications. Owens orig- inally designed Marine Sanitation Devices and sys- tems for small boats, ships and offshore platforms. The need for an environmentally sound and opera- tionally successful packaged sanitation device for commercial business, subdivisions, and single homes prompted the development of our additional plants. Owens Kleen Tank units are versatile in that they can be engineered to fit most small, hard-to-fit areas while handling a wide range of capacities, a diversity that is not lost on the marine industry, notorious for demanding big production from small spaces. All models of the Kleen Tank are patented and USCG Certified for Marine and Offshore use. In early 2000, Owens unveiled its latest technolog- ical advancement in the wastewater treatment field in Canada, a country well known for its stringent envi- ronmental quality standards. As the Canadian government works toward the goals of eliminating chlorine as a disinfecting solu- tion, Owens president, John L. Kroesser, III, intro- duced the Ozone System, which was eventually cho- sen. A custom-designed Owens Kleen Tank sanitation system which uses an ozonation system was installed on the motor vessel, Osprey 2000, a ferry boat on the Kootnay Lake in Canada. Specifically, the ozonation system uses high-energy ultra-violet light. The chemical reaction produced generates an extremely effective disinfecting process. The end result is a non-chlorine effluent discharge, rich in oxygen, thus proving beneficial to aquatic life forms.

The system pro- vides manual joystick and automatic position hold (DP) control of the vessel by integrating all of the vessel's engine, thruster and steering controls with the vessel's navigation systems. The system utilizes a Heavy Duty industrial grade PC: Windows NT based software and a sunlight viewable flat touch LCD dis- play. This was the first installation of a DP system on a 150-ft. (45.7 m) supply utility vessel in the Gulf of Mexico. MV Ryan T has the capability of handling 1,600 barrels of liquid mud, and finds the DP system beneficial for offloading in seas, wind and current without the use of tie-up tackle.

"Our goal is to get this technical information to all parties in the deepwater market." Over the next year, the Paragon team will interview both Gulf of Mexico and U.K. North Sea operators to develop case studies of 20 or more projects to uncover data, which will translate into more successful deepwater pursuits. "The team also seeks to include trends for each case study and to identify potential risk factors associated with increased water depth," said Horn. "Of course, each company's proprietary engi- neering data will be protected."
