September 2005 35 tion is ideal to efficiently remove oil and other contaminants, reducing environmental impact with proven reliability unmatched by highmainte- nance, labor-intensive oil separators. The Alfa Laval EcoStream system uses fully automated, single stage centrifugal separation for highly effi- cient treatment of up to 1320 gallons per hour. Title Innovative, eco-minded crankcase oil mist removal improves military logistics By Theodore Esplin, Alfa Laval Abstract As stricter air quality regulations are enforced, diesel engines must maximize the effi- ciency of crankcase oil mist removal to minimize their impact on the environment. In general, to achieve high removal efficiencies there are two basic options: fine filters or centrifugal separa- tors. While fine filters can offer high removal effi- ciencies, they have some definite limitations. Title Command and Control Gets Cut Down to Size By Martyn Dickinson Abstract Tight budgets for integrated solutions on patrol craft lead to compromise on mission performance. In today's heightened levels of threat and a required increase in capability of smaller vessels, the information system on the vessel has to be improved. Command and Control of all ship systems and sensors can be networked to multiple redundant stations without weight or cost penalties. In hostile conditions, vulnerable positions such as the bridge do not Circle 209 on Reader Service Card BRUNVOLL – the single source supplier of thruster systems Refined and proven concepts teamed up with supreme technical solutions ensures low life cycle costs BRUNVOLL – manufacturer of ?
