Bulk Plant Air To Be Cleaned With

HUGE VACUUM CLEANERBy MIDDY RANDERSON

The new, specially-designed dust collection system for thePort of Houston Authority’s Dry Bulk Materials HandlingPlant is scheduled to be put into operation in mid-Autumn ofthis year.

The system, which complies with all Texas Air ControlBoard regulations, will control dust generated by loading andunloading materials aboard vessels. The vacuum system con-sists of hoods at various points on the conveyor belts, over theloading pit and surge bins and on the Paceco loader as wellas the unloader.

A bulk storage warehouse, constructed by Intercontinenlal Bulk Systems, Inc.,wos pressed into use while workmen were completing the exterior.

The hoods are connected by ducts ranging in size from 10to 56 inches and the material collected is blown into two hugebag filters.

Dust is collected in the bags, one with a capacity of 60,000cubic feet per minute and the other with a 50,000 cfm ca-pacity, and is then removed from the filters by a reverse ofair flow. Screw conveyors pick up the collected dust from thebags and move it back into the flow of material.

Charles G. Heyne and Co. is installing the system for thePort Authority.

The new system will enable the plant to handle such highdust commodities as soda ash, soybean meal, coal, coke andborax.

The Port’s bulk plant is fully automatic and can move awide variety of products in import or export trade at a rate of1,000 tons per hour.

The loading and unloading towers are connected with trans-portation facilities by a series of reversible 42-inch conveyorbelts which can handle products weighing between 40 and 200pounds per cubic foot.

Export shipments can be delivered by either rail or truckto the loading pit which moves the commodities by belt to

shipside. The unloading facilities are designed for hopperbottom cars and self-dumping trucks.

The traveling loading tower moves the full length of thedock to service ships fore and aft. The boom will reach up to61 feet from the face of the dock and the loading chute isequipped with a 360 degree wide belt slinger to assist self-trimming of cargo.

The unloading tower also moves on tracks to serve all hatchesof the vessel. The boom of the tower reaches 76 feet from theface of the dock. A complete unloading cycle is made each 36seconds.

Surge bins with a storage capacity of 500 to 1000 tons aredesigned to balance production at the unloading tower.

At the completion of each product movement, the entireplant is washed down with water under pressure to maintainproduct purity.

In 1975, the bulk plant handled 1.5 million tons aboard342 vessels, a 27 per cent increase over the previous year’stotal. Eighteen different commodities were handled with potashbeing the leader in shipments and soybeans having the highesttonnage in receipts.

Among the products presently shipped through the bulkplant are ammonium sulfate, phosphate rock, clays, urea, andfertilizers.

Receipts include barite and manganese ore, wheat and otheragricultural products.

A dry bulk storage facility, operated by IntercontinentalBulk Systems, Inc., recently has been completed adjacent tothe bulk plant. The wooden domed structure is connected tothe loading and unloading towers to provide direct service tovessels.

The unloading tower stands majestically above the pipes which will collectdust from cargo moving through the Bulk Materials Handling Plant.

A butterfly valve on the left will allow the vacuum to draw dust from theloading and unloading towers. When not in use the valve closes.

COMMANDER SMITH

Comma nderSmith Takes OverAs.Captain of the Port

The new Captain of the Port of Houston, Coast Guard Cmdr.Del Smith, enlisted in the Coast Guard Reserve in I945. Hemoved through the enlisted ranks, including five years as aChief Petty Officer, and then was commissioned as an Ensign20 years ago.

He has seen service on nearly every kind of Coast Guardvessel from a buoy tender to an arctic ice breaker and attendedTulane University and the University of Virginia as well as ahost of service schools.

Smith has been directly connected with the marine water-front community for 13 years, coming to Houston after a tourwith the Office of Merchant Marine Safety, Coast Guard Head-quarters, in Washington, D.C.

His most recent assignment was as Assistant Chief of Mer-chant Vessel Inspection Division. Prior to that billet, he waswith the Traveling Inspector Staff in the Office of MerchantMarine Safety.

The new Captain of the Port, whose ot~ce is at the CoastGuard Port Safety Station on the Houston Ship Channel, andhis wife Harriet will live in Friendswood with their teen-agedaughter. They also have a daughter living in London who ismarried to a Coast Guard Lieutenant Commander, and a sonattending college in Virginia.

Although he is a native of Ohio, Smith has spent much ofhis Working life connected with Gulf Coast ports and says heprefers working in the Gulf to ~ny of the other coasts.

Smith says he sees the Coast Guard’s role in Houston as oneof a partner in safety with the Port Authority and the industryalong the Channel.

He added that there is a new awareness of the necessity toregulate hazardous materials and that the environmental pro-tection and pollution control regulations have changed thefunction of the Port Safety Station to one of prevention ratherthan reaction.

Cmdr. Smith took over his post from Captain Warren W.Waggett, who is retiring from the Coast Guard and will makehis home in Houston.

Dredged Material May ProveValuable For Shrimp Farming

Dredged material disposal long has been a thorn in the sideof the dredging industry and the Corps of Engineers in par-ticular. Literally mountains of dredged material are removedfrom Texas channels annually, and this situation is repeatedon all the country’s waterways.

However, studies now underway in cooperation between theCorps’ Waterways Experiment Station at Vicksburg, Miss. andthe Galveston District indicate dredged material may be suit-able for commercial shrimp farming.

Some one million juvenile shrimp have been placed in anexisting disposal area in the Freeport area, prepared withdredged material from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. After45 ~d’ays, the shrimp will be harvested and the program evalu-ated.

Under this shrimp maricuhure program, if successful, land-owners could go into the shrimp business during the intervalsbetween dredging of the channel, and conceivably could har-vest a crop every 45 days, officials said.

A 20-acre section of a much larger area was leveed and apump system installed to maintain water level and salinity.

The program started with 300,000 shrimp, followed by plac-ing of another 700,000 infant shrimp. The young shrimpmeasured about a quarter inch in length when they wereplaced in the disposal area, but are expected to grow to threeto five inches after the 45-day growth period.

Captain Robert M. Meccia, project manager from theWaterways Experiment Station, said earlier experimentsshowed shrimp raised in ponds with dredged material grewapproximately 19 per cent larger than shrimp in untreatedponds.

George R. Rochen. Assistant Chief of the Construction-Operations Division for the Corps of Engineers in Galveston,said shrimp farming has been performed in Florida and othercountries but the profit has been marginal. One of the highcost factors is food for raising shrimp. In the experiment withdredged material, a by-product of routine channel mainte-nance, the shrimp rely on natural food sources.

If the experiments are a success, a whole new shrimpingindustry could develop and dredged material may become adesirable commodity instead of,the present situation wherethe government and local sponsors try to make a deal to putthe material on somebody’s land, Rochen said’.

Joe Quick, Jr., Ph.D. and Dennis Milligan are the prin-cipal iffvestigators for Dow Chemical Co.

Officials explained that shrimp farming has been restrictedin the past by the fact that the only source of young shrimphas been offshore. However, developments in the past yearindicate possibility of a breakthrough whereby breeding ofshrimp in captivity may be possible,

If this can be developed on a large scale, Rochen said,shrimp can be provided whenever they are needed, not justwhen they can be caught, and as such this could develop intoa near year-round operation.

The study shrimp are to be harvested in October and inves-tigators will begin compiling their records on use of dredgedmaterial as shrimp habitat as well as advantages and dis-advantages for the landowner and government for combiningdredged material disposal with mariculture.

Records also will be compiled on controlled growth of otherfresh, brackish and saltwater aquatic organisms in dredgematerial containment areas, along with an economic and engi-neering analysis of the conversion of existing containmentareas to maricuhure.

The test pond near Freeport is believed to be the largestshrimp pond outside of Florida. Other shrimp farming hasbeen attempted in coastal waters with use of nets, but stormsand broken nets have been blamed for failures.
