F and stored in special tanks i Liquefaction greatly re reduces reduces reduces re- re duces the volume of the fuel ruel making transportation more economical and because the terminals terminal's moored at sea its it's easier for the big tankers to load Since they can carry so much more transportation costs are less The shore off shore off terminal will also make il it possible to reclaim millions of dollars worth of precious fuel supplies formerly burned off as a waste product in underwater underwater under under- water drilling operations To monitor this vital cargo the people who build these gigantic terminals are using a total cargo instrumentation and control system developed developed developed devel devel- by Precision Products Inc These measuring instruments provide accurate accounts display and printouts printouts printouts print print- outs of how much fuel is stored and how much is transferred from terminal to tanker anker measuring the weight temperature number of gal gal- Ions ons and density pf of the gas This enormous enormous ocean ocean ocean-go going go- go ing ng gas station it il seems could help put mo more e energy into nto the thc American economy |
