Alfa Laval to supply marine environmental products for MAN
Alfa Laval, provider of specialized products in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has received an order from MAN Diesel & Turbo to supply Alfa Laval PureSOx exhaust gas cleaning systems for two cruise ships. The order, which is for four scrubbers, is booked in the Marine & Offshore Systems segment. It has a value of approximately SEK 55 million and delivery is scheduled for 2013 and 2014.
The Alfa Laval PureSOx exhaust gas cleaning systems will be installed onboard two luxury cruise liners, where they will remove over 98 percent of the sulphur oxides from the ship’s exhaust gas. By combining MAN’s engines with Alfa Laval’s PureSOx systems, these luxury cruise vessels can continue using heavy fuel oil instead of expensive, low-sulphur fuel and still meet the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) increasingly stringent requirements in Emission Controlled Areas (ECAs).
“This order proves the technical acceptance among the largest players in the marine industry for our Alfa Laval PureSOx system”, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.
