Executive Council, Press Updated On Desulfurization Project-Phase II


Recently the Aruba Executive
Council and the Aruba Press,
Radio and TV representatives
were guests of Lago to see the
progress of the HDS-2 facilities
and to hear about Lago's plans
for environmental control in
1973. Also Lago's Assistant Gen-
eral Manager Rudy C. Bergfield
and Public Relations Manager
Milton H. Henriquez were intro-
duced to the guests on this oc-
casion.
The second phase of Lago's
program to desulfurize fuel oil,
which is currently under con-
struction, is over one-third com-
plete This project, which is of-
ten called HDS-2, or simply
Phase 2, began in late 1971
with the arrival from Curagao
of the dredge "GEORGIA" which
dredged both in the Lago La-
goon and at Commandeurs Bay
It is expected the project will
take two and one-half years to
complete and cost about 200
million guilders.
At the present time this pro-


ject is providing employment
for 2,330 men who are working
for Arthur G. McKee and Com-
pany, the prime contractor for
the project, and for various sub-
contractors working both for La-
go and for McKee
Some of the local subcontrac-
tors working for Lago and Mc
Kee are: Wegenbouw N.V., Aru-
ba Painting; Caribbean Painting;
Unicon; J. R. Wout; Frank Croes;
Wescar Aruba N.V ; Acisco; Ars-
ton Corporation; Nahar Steel
Construction; Johnson Enter-
prises; De Veer Transportation;
East End Transportation; Aruba
Engineering & Drafting;Arconics.
Four of six major furnaces
which are to be built on the
project by the German subcon-
tractor Ernst Kirchner, GmbH,
are nearly complete and work is
just beginning on the last two
furnaces to replace two older
furnaces which will be dis-
mantled.

Lago plans to spend 2.4 mil-
lion florins in 1973 to improve
Aruba's environment. This ex-
penditure is in addition to the
1.4 million florins spent in 1972.
Projects are now underway to
build the following major facili-
ties:
1. A new large Deballasting
Tank.
The possibility of contamination
of Aruba's beaches by oil has
been of considerable concern to
Lago. A survey of the beaches
of the Netherlands Antilles was
made to reveal the extent of the
problem. The survey results in-
dicated that tankers deballasting
and/or cleaning tanks, as they
approached the Antilles, were
responsible for most of the oil
found on our beaches. This new
deballasting tank will provide
capacity to receive all the oily
ballast from ships arriving at
Aruba; therefore, there will be
no need to discharge ballast at
sea. The oily water discharged
ashore will be treated in Lago's
oil recovery system and only oil-
free ballast will be returned to
the sea.
2. A new Sewage Treatment
Plant to serve Seroe Colo-
rado, Lago Heights and the
Refinery.
This project provides an improv-
ed collecting system and treat-
ment facilities to handle the se-
wage from Seroe Colorado, Lago
Heights and the Refinery. This
improvement is another step in
the program designed to make
the Seroe Colorado Community
a better place to live and a
more desirable place for new
home construction by Lago Man-
agement people.
3. A Demister for our Sul-
phuric Acid Plant.


-I


This project consists of a heavy-
duty screen in the top of the
Acid Plant absorber tower and
will reduce the heavy smoke
stream from the Acid Plant stack.
4. Numerous Projects to Im-
prove Oil Recovery.
These projects are the continua-
tion of many others completed
in 1972 Our efforts last year
have resulted in a harbor which
is now oil-free This was achiev-
ed mainly by providing improved
oil recovery equipment at our
separator pond, and in the har-
bor itself Such equipment con-
sisted mostly of booms and oil
skimming -devices However, to
ensure that the harbor remains
oil-free at all times, the new
projects planned for 1973 will
prevent oil from entering our oil
separation system A daily pa-
trol of the harbor is conducted
by launch to monitor the con-
dition of the water
The possibility of a major oil
spill off our shores, as a result
of tanker accident, has also been
given considerable study. First
steps to develop a cooperative
effort with other oil refineries in
the area have been taken Pre-
sent plans call for the purchase
of the necessary equipment for
installation in the Netherlands
Antilles This equipment will be
available for use by any refinery
and with personnel and other
equipment from all refineries be-
ing used to combat any major
oil spill in a mutual effort.
Lago's efforts in 1972 not only
resulted in an oil-free harbor but
by making improvements to the
flares, the dense black smoke
was eliminated which formerly
on occasion detracted consider-
ably from the appearance of the
refinery

Executive Council, Press Updated on Desulfurization Project-Phase II


(Continued from page 1)
The project includes three tall
concrete chimneys which are
about 100 meters high. Two of
these structures have been com-
pleted and work has just begun
on the third chimney.
Approximately 18,000 cu. mtrs
of reinforced concrete have been
used on the project to date and
approximately 3,000 tons of pipe
have been erected. Over half of
the 240 major towers and drums
have been received at the job-
site and most of these have
been placed on foundations al-
ready prepared.
The most noteworthy pressure
vessel to be received is the
large vacuum pipestill tower
which was fabricated in Japan
by Mitsui Company. This tower
has left Japan on the Van Der
Laan ship "LADY SOPHIE", and
is expected to arrive in Aruba
on May 1. The tower, which is
113' high x 35' in diameter,
weighs approximately 580 tons.
The large ginpoles for erecting
this vessel are being placed on
foundations at the present time.
A company which specializes in
lifting heavy lifts of this type has
been contracted to erect this
tower and two reactors, also be-
ing fabricated by Mitsui. The
latter two will be transported by
Van Der Laan on the new ship
"DOCKLIFT I", due to arrive on
site about May 25. The company
mentioned above is the same
subcontractor, Rigging Inter-
national of the U.S., which erect-
ed similar towers on the Phase I
project.
Chicago Bridge & Iron Com-
pany is the subcontractor sup-
plying and erecting the new
tankage which is located on re-
claimed land at Commandeurs
Bay. The largest of these tanks
holds 100,000 cu. mtrs. This tank
field is a completely modern re-
ceiving and shipping facility.
The tanks will be painted white
with paint supplied and produc-
ed in Aruba Paint Company's
new plant at Eagle.
At the present time there is
essentially full employment of
skilled and unskilled workers in
Aruba and additional skilled An-
tillean workers are being re-
cruited. In addition, as skills
such as laborers, carpenters
and masons are no longer re-
quired, special training pro-
grams are being implemented to


teach additional skills to these
local workers so that they can
be employed in other crafts,
such as insulation, painting,
welding, pipefitting, heavy equip-
ment erection, etc. which are re-
quired later in the project. These
special programs will develop
more flexibility in the Aruban
labor force and also provide
longer employment for more
Aruban workers on this project
and on future projects in Aruba.
Training programs for Lago
workers have begun under the
direction of Dufi Kock. Through
training and retraining of exist-
ing workers, operating person-
nel will be supplied for initial
operation of the new facilities.
Longer range, Lago will require
additional people to maintain
and operate the new facilities
and the company has begun hir-
ing workers for training. Initially,
these new employees will be
utilized as tradesmen.

tempo di e match entire Estrella

el tabata captain pa e pasado
diez anja.
Aunque el tabata corre tras
di bala desde su anjanan di
school na La Salle College na
Oranjestad, el a drenta Dakota
Jrs. tempo cu el tabatin 15 an-
ja. Pronto el a bira un hungador
estelar y na edad di 17 anja ya
el a drenta fila di e team Antil-
liano y a tuma parti na un tor-
neo international na El Salva-
dor na 1957 como un refuerzo
pa Aruba Juniors.
Hungando den promer anja-
nan como un alero derecho, Ju-
ancho, kende tin 34 anja, despues
a move pa position di defense

Hulandes den un total di 50 we-
ganan den exterior, cual probab-
lemente ta un record pa Antillas

tan pa e team Antiliano den en-
cuentros international y pa we-
ganan Antiliano durante seis a
siete anja Como captain, el y
su miembronan di team a ser

tibo di e condition pa un peri-
odo di prueba di seis luna, el a

un feneta di dashi, y dos ban-
derin, uno di Antillas y uno di

Juancho kende ta midi 1.80 m.
y ta pisa 173 liber, ta atribui su
exito como un futbolista di top
clase na su training extensive arn-
ba veld, dedicacion na deported,
dominion propio y discipline. El a
tene su mes na condition door
di trainmento diario no sola-
mente ariba tereno, pero medi-


ante gymnastiek di 5 a 6 ora,
especialmente durante weekend.
Durante e period cu e team
Dakota tabata bao su direction,
nan a gana campeonato di Aru-
ba ocho bez y a logra subcam-
peon di Antillas dos bez. Esaki
tabala mayormente debi na Ju-
ancho su cualidadnan sobresa-
liente como un lider.
Aunque el ta stop como futbo-
lista active, Juancho to sigui de-
dica algun tempo como entrena-
dor di Dakota Jrs. y como un
consehero pa su team. Tambe
lo e por hunga como veteran.
Juancho, kende ta cas& y tin
dos yiu muher y un yiu homber,
ta sinti cu el mester dedica mas
di su tempo na su familiar y na
construction di su cas cual el
tin planed.


Juancho Pablo Kicks Off His Shoes

And Retires from Active Football


It was perhaps a hard deci-
sion, but Juancho Pablo, an
Equipment Tradesman in Mech-
anical-Machinist, was firm to
quit active football. His last
game was on March 31 up to
half-time of the match between
Estrella and Dakota. He has
been the captain of Dakota for
the past ten years.
Having been chasing the ball
since his school years at the
La Salle College in Oranjestad,
he first joined the Dakota Jrs.
when he was 15. He soon be-
came a star player and at age
17 was already on the Antillean
national team and took part in
an international match in El Sal-
vador in 1957 as a reinforcement
for the Aruba Juniors team.
Playing outside right in the
first years, Juancho, who is 34,

later moved to center back
and represented the Nether-
lands Antilles on a total of 50
games abroad, probably a re-
cord in the Antilles and Aruba.
He has also been the captain
of the Antillean team at inter-
national encounters and for An-
tillean matches for six to seven
years. As captain, he and his
team members were awarded
the silver medal for subcham-
pion of the Central and Carib-
bean Games in Puerto Rico and
in Panama. During his 20 years
as an amateur football player,
he participated in tournaments
in El Salvador, Costa Rica, Pa-
nama, Puerto Rico, Honduras,
Mexico, Holland, Surinam, Co-
lombia, Jamaica and Denmark.
He has visited some of these
countries three times or more to

play football. While abroad, he
had two offers to become a pro-
fessional, but because of the
condition for a six-month trial
period, he rejected a contract
in Colombia and in Holland.
One of the greatest honors
Juancho earned is considered
his nomination in 1966 as Sports-
man of the Year by the Aruba
Sports Union. And, of course, his
last match on March 31 was one
that brought some melancholy
and pride. He was bestowed
with many tokens of apprecia-
tion and recognition: a plaque
from his team Dakota; a smaller
plaque from the daily "Beurs",
and one from Dakota Club's
queen; a medal from the Aruba
Football Association (AVB); a
ring, a tie pin, and two banners,
one of the Antilles and one of
the AVB.
Juancho who is 6 ft. tall, and
173 Ibs. attributes his rise to
top class football player to his
extensive field training, dedica-
tion to sports, self-control, and
discipline. He kept fit through
daily training not only on the
field but through gymnastics for
5 to 6 hours on weekends.
During the period the Dakota
team was under his direction,
they won the Aruba champion-
ship eight times and became
Antillean subchampion twice.
Although he quits active foot-
ball, Juancho will continue de-
dicating some time as a trainer
of the Dakota Jrs. and as an
adviser to his team. He may al-
so play on some veteran team.
Juancho, who is married and
has two daughters and a son,
feels he should dedicate more
of his time to his family and to
a home he is planning to build.
