Dario Picus Promoted to Engineering Associate

In Technical Mechanical Engineering June 1


Effective June 1, 1978, Dario E. Pi-
cus of Technical Mechanical Engi-
neering was promoted to Engineering
Associate in recognition of his con-
tribution in the Equipment Inspection
field.
He joined Lago in 1949 as an Ap-
prentice in the Lago Vocational
School, and upon graduation, began
his career in the inspection field in
the Technical Department as an En-
gineering Trainee. Dario advanced
to Engineering Assistant "A" in 1962.
The following year he left on a one-
year Educational Leave of Absence
to study chemical engineering cour-
ses at the West Virginia Institute of
Technology.
Dario was promoted to Senior En-
gineering Assistant in Technical En-
gineering in 1966, and to Engineering
Technician in 1967 while assigned to
the Equipment Inspection Group in
Mechanical Engineering Division.


A Group Head Equipment Inspec-
tion in Technical Mechanical Engi-
neering since 1971, Dario has made
substantial contributions to Lago,
most notably in the paint and protec-
tive coatings field. In addition, in his












D. E. Plcus
capacity as RTC Subcommittee mem-
ber, Dario has helped resolve nume-
rous problems at Lago, Exxon U.S.A.

Use of Safety Cap with Shield Attached Gives

In line with Lago's constant inte-

field operators are now required to

wear a safety cap with face shield
attached. The transparent plastic
shield has been provided to give em-
ployee's face, and especially his
eyes, full protection while on the
units.
The face shield formerly used at
Lago were the convertible types. This
is the type of shield which is clip-
ped to the brim of the safety hat
when face shield protection is speci-
fied. Because its fixed position made
it somewhat inconvenient to keep on
all the time and because this shield
was not always immediately on hand
when needed, many operators ne-
glected to use it. This has resulted
in many incidents of face and eye
injuries from accidental oil splashes
or flying objects which could have
been prevented if the face shield had
been used.
The new model shield which Lago
now provides to all field employees,
is hinged to the safety cap. For jobs

ta bai pa mercadonan local y Sur
Americano. E gasolinnan aki ta ser
produce usando mas tanto product

quiri pa elimina batimento den motor-
nan, ta necesario pa usa aditivos.
E aditivo contra batimento usA mas
extensamente ta tetra ethyl lead

Pa motibo cu Tanki 424 a yega su
tempo pa retire despues di mas cu

centralize Lago su operacionnan di

E sistema di mezclamento ta con-
sisti di un panel di instrument of

Safety Creed
WE BELIEVE ............
.... that every man bears the unalterable responsibility for keeping out of
harm's way. This he owes to himself, his family, his fellow-workers and
his job.
.... that no man lives or works entirely alone. He is involved with all men,
touched by their accomplishments, marked by their failures. If he fails
the man beside him, he fails himself, and will share the burden of that
loss. The true horror of an accident is the realization that a man has
failed himself and more that his fellows have failed him.
.... that accidents are conceived in improper attitudes, and born in moments
of action without thought. They will cease to be only when the proper
attitude is strong enough to precede the act when the right attitude
creates the awareness that controls the act.
.... that the prevention of accidents is an objective which crosses all levels
of rank, organization and procedures.
.... that freedom from harm is not a privilege, but a goal to be achieved and
perpetuated day by day.
.... that the elimination of injury and pain through accidents is a moral obli-
gation upon which the final measure of our performance directly depends.

Credo di Seguridad
NOS TA KERE ............
.... cu tur persona tin e responsabilidad inalterable pa mantene su mes for
di camina di peligro. Esaki el ta debe su mes, su familiar, su companjero
di trabao y su trabao mes.
.... cu ningun persona ta biba of traha completamente so. El ta envolvi cu
tur otro hende, influence door di nan hazanjanan, marc door di nan fa-
yonan. Si e faya e persona cerca di dje, el ta faya su mes, y el lo com-
parti e peso di e p4rdida ey. E berdadero horror di un accident ta e
realizacion cu un persona a faya su mes y mas ainda cu su com-
panjeronan a fay'l6e.
.... cu accidentenan ta concebl caminda tin atitudnan cu no ta correct, y ta
nace den momentonan di accion sin pensa. Nan lo stop di existi sola-
mente ora cu un atitud apropiado ta suficientemente fuerte promer cu e
accion ora cu e atitud correct crea un sentido di alerta cual ta con-
trola e acto.
.... cu e prevention di accidents ta un obhetivo cual ta cruza tur nivelnan
di rango, organization y procedimiento.
.... cu libertad di peligro no ta un privilegio sino un meta pa ser alcanz6 y
cu mester ser sigui di dia pa dia.
.... cu e eliminacion di herida y dolor door di accidents ta un obligacion
moral ariba cual e media final di nos actuacion ta depend directamen-
te.


Di acuerdo cu Lago su constant
interest pa mehora seguridad di em-
pleadonan, operatornan den plant
awor mester usa un "safety cap" cu
un capa protector pegA na dje. E
capa protector di plastic aki ta pa
duna cara di empleadonan y es-
pecialmente nan wowonan protec-
cion complete mientras cu nan ta

E capa protector pa care anterior-
mente usA na Lago tabata e tipo con-
vertible. Esaki ta e tipo di protector
cual ta ser gehaak of gancha na e
rand di e safety hat ora cu e capa di
protection pa cara ta requiri. Pa
motibo cu e position fiho di e capa

ta cu a socede hopi herida na cara y

TEL Blending Facilities Modernized To Increase


Safety, Efficiency and
Lago produces Aviation and Motor
Gasolines which go mostly to the lo-
cal and South American markets.
These gasolines are produced mainly
using refined stocks. To obtain the
required octane level to eliminate
knocking of engines, it is necessary
to use additives.
The most extensively used anti-
knock additive is tetra ethyl lead
(TEL), which Lago imports from Ethyl
Corporation. A few milliliters of this
substance per gallon of gasoline rai-
ses the octane number by about 10
points. The TEL which Lago has
been using until recently was stored
in Tank 424, located south of the Me-
chanical Shops and east of # 1 Fin-
ger Pier.
Because Tank 424 reached its re-
tirement age after more than 15 years
of service, it was decided to centra-
lize Lago's TEL blending operations
by building a new TEL tank immedia-
tely north of the Gasoline Pumphouse.
This new location has proved the op-
portunity to install a new semi-auto-
matic consolidated TEL blender
which meets today's industrial and
safety standards.
The blending system consists of
an instrument panel or "black box"
- which is really the heart of the
system hooked up at the tank ma-
nifold piping and leading to the ga-
soline tanks. By using push-buttons
and pre-setting the required specifi-
cation, TEL is injected directly into
the gasoline line and blended simply
and safely and with a minimum po-
tential for spills. With the new faci-
lities, TEL handling is minimized, the
transfer frequency of the material to


Reliability in Blending
the blending site is reduced, and the
use of two old weigh drums to mea-
sure the TEL is eliminated.
The new 100,000 gallon storage
tank (Tank 423) is a great improve-
ment over the old tank which will
soon be dismantled. It is expected
to give longer service and require lo-
wer maintenance, having been con-
structed away from a corrosive envi-
ronment. It has several unique fea-
tures such as a solid cast slab foun-
dation instead of a regular ring foun-
dation, a mastic coated bottom to

Chicago Bridge personnel scored a record here by rigging up, lifting and placing the
bottom portion of the tank on its foundation safely and efficiently in just 20 minutes. The
tank was constructed in three sections and welded at the site.

Clyde Becker Gains Work Experience at Lago

To Become a Full-Fledged Mechanical Engineer


One of the many engineering stu-
dents to take advantage of Lago's
Cooperative Education Program is
Clyde A. Becker, a Mechanical En-
gineering student at the Higher Tech-
nical School in The Hague, Holland.
Clyde, who is studying with a Go-
vernment scholarship, graduated
from the MAVO-4 curriculum of the
La Salle College in 1973 and obtain-
ed his HAVO-5 diploma from the Co-
legio Arubano in 1975. Currently in
his practical year at the Dutch tech-
nical school, Clyde is required to
work at three different industries du-
ring a 40-week period to gain expe-
rience in his field of study.
Before coming to Lago on March
7, Clyde had completed a three-
month assignment at a Foundry in
Vlissingen, and a similar work pe-
riod at the Netherlands Petroleum
Company at Den Helder in Holland.
At Lago, Clyde has been working
in the Engineering Technical Servi-
ces Section in the Mechanical Engi-
neering Division where he has had
the opportunity to assist Company
engineers in their varied activities.
He has enjoyed the privilege offered
him to participate in several engi-
neering studies and has much praise
for the excellent cooperation he has
received from ETSS employees.
When he completes his four-month
Lago assignment next month, Clyde
will return to Holland to enter his fi-
nal year of study and to prepare for
his final exams scheduled for next
year year. During this period he al-
so plans to specialize in energy tech-
niques.
Although he plans to work hard
towards his engineering diploma,
Clyde will make sure he finds time
to continue his sports activities,


which include volleyball, basketball
and baseball.
Twenty-two year-old Clyde is one
example of Aruba's future professio-
nals who are benefitting from Lago's
Cooperative Education Program. The
program, which was initiated in 1953,
provides students of the Netherlands
Nationality whose parents reside in
the Netherlands Antilles with the
practical work experience required
as an integral part of their school
curriculum.
Lago's Training Section coordina-
tes the student's activities with the
proper school authorities, appraises
his performance and reports his pro-
gress periodically to the school.
In the case of Clyde, Ir. Galestien
of the Antillean HTS of Curacao was
assigned as Contact Teacher by the
HTS in The Hague to personally dis-
cuss his progress at Lago with the
department concerned.

prevent seepage, a spiral stairway
leading to the gauging platform, and
a silica-gel coated vent to prevent
escape of vapor.

Work on the project began in De-
cember 1977. The TEL Blending Fa-
cilities was commissioned in April
this year and has been performing
to the desired requirements.
Training on the TEL Blending Faci-
lities was provided by Ethyl Corpo-
ration representatives to the opera-
ting and instrument maintenance per-
sonnel before commissioning of the
system.

The $ 145,000 project, which inclu-
des dismantling work, involved seve-
ral contractors, the major contractor
being Chicago Bridge & Iron Com-
pany, which fabricated the tank and
erected the structure in three sec-
tions on its foundation. The other
contractors were Hope Construction
who built the foundation, firewall and
ramp; Arston, who fabricated and in-
stalled the piping; Unicon, charged
with the electrical work; Wout Con-
tractor who handled the instrumenta-
tion work, and sub-contractor Aruba
Painting.

Process engineer for the project
was Juan Noguera of Technical-Pro-
ject Development Division. Charged
with the mechanical design and over-
all project coordination was Nicolas
Jacobs, also of Project Development,
who was project engineer, while
field engineers were Adrian Leslie, Ni-
lo Swaen, Errol Brown and Max Ema-
nuels. Process contact during the
four-month project was Simon Gomez
of the Oil Movements Division.
