RIVI & ITALPRORAMAR JOINT EFFORTS TO PROMOTE LUBE OIL SOLUTIONS FOR POWER, OIL&GAS AND NAVAL MARKET IN ITALY

RIVI is congratulated to wellcome to the company ITALPRORAMAR as a new dealer in the Italian Market. We are proud to work with them, because they have an excellent history providing different solutions for naval, power and oil&gas customers. It´s a very good chance to introduce our lube oil systems, and other fluid solutions.

I would like to introduce our new partner. I wish you a lot of success in our new venture.

ITALPRORAMAR has been established in Genova in 1973 by Mr. Antonino Guarrera, together with a Group of Shipchandlers from the major ports of Italy.
The project was very innovative and ambitious for these times, and had the aim to supply the Ship with an omogeneous offer in everyone of these Harbours.
Unfortunately a "network frame" project like this one did not have the necessary "tools", like fax and e-mail, in order to be successfully managed, and so the other parners gradually left, leaving to the Genoa Office all commercial activity.
A number of very well known Sales representatives have then been achieved during the years, not only for the marine field but also in maintenance and lubrication of Gas Turbines.
A stock for marine lubricants has been established in Genoa, today covering Italian Area, South of France and Malta.
Since the very beginning the environmental theme has been carefully followed and developed, so promoting anti-pollution advanced equipments and only biodegradable chemicals, no-toxic for the human beings.
Now we are also involved in LUBE OIL SYSTEMS (acc. API 610, API 614, API 611...), Safety, selling lifeboats, escaping devices for ferries and fire doors.
Spare parts for engines and various machineries are sold from selected alternative sources, in order to provide the Ship with the best price/quality value.
Last but not least, we are supplying aluminium panels and complete prefabricated block for passangers ships, and also complete superstructures and helidecks, all built throught the Friction Stir Welding innovative technology, for which we are the sole representative in Italy.

Many thank ITALPRORAMAR for your work, and your trust.

For further information in Italy, you can contact to info@italproramar.com or sales@italproramar.com, Ms. Carmelita Guarrera and Mr. Roberto Roggero.

3nine - AIR-OIL SEPARATION TECHNOLOGY

Several fields of application

3nine’s technology offers many advantages in performance and it can be scaled for wide ranges of flow and purification demands. This means that the technology can be applied in many different fields. 3nine’s technology is admirably suitable for application in fields that combine large quantities of contamination with stringent demands for purification, including the purification of small particles. 3nine has focussed on three areas of application for its new technology: manufacturing industry, heating plants, and the food processing industry.

Evolution

For more than one hundred years, conical discs have been used to improve centrifugal separation of liquids.

3nine has implemented this technology in air and particle separation. The separation technology is well known and it works exactly the same for air as for liquids. Separation and draining of the separated particles demands new ideas and solutions.

3nine has several leading researchers within centrifugal separation, leading to several new patents on separation solutions and rotor construction. In the past few years, current and past 3nine researchers have produced 40% of the world’s patents in centrifugal separation.
3nine is therefore today’s world leader in these areas.

API 676 Oil Pumps for lubrication

PCX Series is SEIM answer to demand by the market requiring pumps for low / medium pressure lube circuits which accomplish. API676 II ed rules.

These PCX Series pumps feature jacket (standard made from carbon steel, other materials upon request) and ANSI IN/OUT ports (DIN upon request)

PCX Series is versatile, thanks to inlet port available both axial or radial and is capable to satisfy most of demands in lube applications.
Further options are available, like execution for high viscosity fluids or noise suppression due to air bubbles entrapped in the pumped fluid. Further customization (e.g.: pumpm foot) make PCX Series another succesfull SEIM Product.

Components by leading World manufacturer’s (like the mechanical seal – but not limited too!) and a 100% internal shop test on manufactured pumps (either API or VDMA specifications), grant to the end user a long term and reliable duty for SEIM pumps.

PCX Series also includes all benefits in using a three screw pumps made by SEIM:
low noise level
extremely low pulsations by the pumped fluid
high priming capability (self priming)
optimal performances even with fluid with entrapped air
no pollutant release in the pumped media
low maintenance required
Pump supply can be completed by including baseplate (also conform to API rules), as well as coupling with spacer and coupling guard, electrical motor by leading manufacturer (also Atex execution).

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Lube systems for:
· speed reducers and variators
· turbines
