Alfa Laval wins environmental order for marine exhaust gas cleaning systems


Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling – has won 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 to run
the ship on heavy fuel oil and invest in a scrubber such as Alfa Laval’s
PureSOX.

Did you know that… Alfa Laval PureSOx hybrid scrubber solution can use both sea
and fresh water to clean the emissions from the main engine?
