Alfa Laval wins SEK 50 million environmental order to clean ballast water

Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling – has won an order to supply Alfa Laval PureBallast systems to a
leading shipyard in South Korea. The order, booked in the Marine & Diesel
Equipment segment late March, has a value of approximately SEK 50 million.
Delivery will start in 2013 and be finalized in 2014.
The Alfa Laval PureBallast systems will be installed onboard vessels where they
will clean the ballast water down to a limit complying with the International
Maritime Organization (IMO) convention and the United States Coast Guard (USCG)
legislation, before it is discharged.

“This order confirms the growing demand for our PureBallast system for new
vessels”, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “It is
also encouraging to notice that during the last months there is an increasing
interest among ship-owners for ballast water treatment for their existing
fleet.”

The IMO convention “International Convention for the Control and Management of
Ships’ Ballast Water & Sediments” will enter into force one year after
ratification by 30 states, representing 35 percent of the world’s tonnage. Today
36 states have ratified, representing 29 percent of the world fleet. Once the
convention is ratified Alfa Laval estimates that 35,000 ships will be equipped
with ballast water treatment systems during the following ten years – of which
15,000 are newly built vessels and 20,000 are existing vessels.

Alfa Laval’s PureBallast is the world’s first chemical-free solution for ballast
water treatment that fully complies with IMO standards.

Did you know that… on April 2, Alfa Laval launched the third generation of its
market-leading ballast water treatment system, Alfa Laval PureBallast 3.0? It
uses up to 60 percent less energy and – although it is 50 percent smaller than
its predecessors – it will be able to handle flows of up to 6000 m³/h?
