Alfa Laval: integrating energy savings and engine protectio

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) has firmly shown its ability to comply with Tier III NOx limits, which will enter into force in January 2016. Over 1000 hours of EGR operation have now been achieved aboard the Maersk Cardiff, a container newbuild from A.P. Moller-Maersk with a two-stroke MAN B&W 6S80ME-C9 engine. Developed by MAN Diesel & Turbo, the EGR process already relies on Alfa Laval's PureNOx, which provides the vital cleaning of the scrubber water. Now Alfa Laval is cooperating with MAN Diesel & Turbo to implement an EGR boiler, which could potentially add major energy benefits to the secure emission compliance. Having demonstrated reliable compliance with Tier III NOx legislation, as well as the potential for fuel savings in Tier II operation, the vessel's EGR installation will soon be expanded with another remarkable technology: a pressurized EGR boiler from Alfa Laval. "We have shown that EGR works smoothly and that it complies fully with the NOx limits appearing in 2016," says Michael Witt, Head of Retrofit Development R&D at MAN Diesel & Turbo. "Together with Alfa Laval and A.P. Moller-Maersk, we are now looking beyond compliance to optimize the system and to utilize opportunities for energy savings." The reasons ...

Alfa Laval has won an order to supply air cooler systems to a U.S. export terminal for natural gas liquids. The order, booked in the Energy & Environment segment, has a value of approximately SEK 55 million and delivery is scheduled for 2014. The Alfa Laval air cooler systems will be used to cool the main process streams at the export terminal where refrigerated natural gas liquids (propane and butane) are loaded onto tanker vessels. "This large order relates to products from Niagara Blower Company, which we acquired last year. The air cooler technology fits very well in our portfolio of reliable products for the demanding oil and gas industry," says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.

Alfa Laval has announced an order to supply Alfa Laval PureSOx exhaust gas cleaning systems to Finnlines Plc. The order is booked in the Marine & Offshore Systems segment and delivery is scheduled for 2014. Due to a confidentiality agreement Alfa Laval is unable to disclose the value of the order. The order includes four Alfa Laval PureSOX exhaust gas cleaning systems; it is hybrid prepared open-loop systems for four vessels to be retrofitted during end of 2014 / beginning of 2015. "This order for our scrubber technology confirms that it is an attractive and proven solution for the reduction of sulphur oxides, be it for retrofits or for installation aboard new vessels," says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. IMO's convention for the reduction of sulphur oxides (SOX) will affect all vessels, both new and existing. The convention demands that sulphur emission levels in certain Emission Control Areas (ECAs) shall be cut to 0.1 percent from the year 2015 and that the global emission level must not exceed 0.5 percent from the year 2020. To reach these levels ship owners can either use more expensive low-sulphur fuel or, on vessels where it is suitable, continue ...

The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) has launched a number of its Nautical Publications as e-books for the mariner - allowing bridge crews to add ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners (NM) updates faster and more accurately, and giving them easier access to information they need. Bridge crews can add weekly NMs next to each relevant e-NP page in just a few seconds. This makes the task of receiving corrections far easier and quicker compared to the paper-based products, giving bridge crews more time to focus on other important duties. Displayed using the UKHO developed ADMIRALTY e-Reader, this software is easy-to-use, and is supplied as part of the service at no extra cost. e-NPs provide the same level of compliance as traditional ADMIRALTY paper-based Nautical Publications and have been approved by Flag States of the majority of ships trading internationally, including the MCA. ADMIRALTY e-NPs can also aid inspections by allowing the mariner to clearly show when a publication was last updated. ADMIRALTY e-NPs can be used on up to three PCs on board per license. ADMIRALTY e-NPs comprise of: ADMIRALTY Sailing Directions - often known as "Pilots", they provide valuable extra information during port entry and coastal navigation. Designed to be ...

With PureBallast 3.0, Alfa Laval redefined its chemical-free ballast water treatment system, producing major advances in flexibility and energy efficiency

Cleaning exhaust from multiple enginesThe PureSOX system installed aboard the M/V Plyca is a multiple-inlet system, able to clean the exhaust gas from both the main and auxiliary engines. The same will be true for the deliveries in the new order. Each will serve four Wärtsilä engines with a combined power of 28 MW, handling an exhaust gas mass flow of 132,000 kg/h.Spliethoffs experience with the multiple-inlet installation aboard the M/V Plyca is that it is both efficient and reliable. As Diks explains, this can be expected no matter how many of the inlets are used at a given time. With PureSOX, weve established very effective means of closing off the pathways from engines that arent in use, he says. Centrifugal separation a key to successAnother area where PureSOX has proven effective is the cleaning of the scrubber wash water.PureSOX saves on caustic soda and fresh water by operating in an open loop with seawater. But in low-alkalinity waters or in harbours and other areas where discharge is strictly regulated, a closed loop with fresh water is an alternative.The fresh water in a closed loop must be cleaned, which has proven an Achilles heel for many exhaust gas cleaning systems. ...
