Bay Gulf Trading Company

As you know, Bay Gulf installed your "Algae-X product on our tug fleet during the ~ quarter of 1997. We are please to report that since the installation of the unit, we have seen no traces of algae/biological contamination in the fuel systems.

In addition to alleviating the headaches and logistics problems associated with algae contamination, we have realized a cost savings in eliminating the use of liquid biocides that produce algae sludge once the animals have died. These sludges must be physically cleaned from the fuel tanks, which is labor intensive and inhibits operation of the vessel during the cleaning process. Fuel filter consumption fleet wide has dropped an estimated 25% since the installation of your product.

We extend our gratitude for your continued support of a fine add-on to our tug engines.

Sincerely,

Bay Gulf Trading Company, Ltd.
