Alfa Laval wins a repeat 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 the Dutch ship owner Spliethoff. 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 Alfa Laval PureSOX exhaust gas cleaning systems for five
vessels, to be retrofitted during 2014.

Alfa Laval delivered its first PureSOX exhaust gas cleaning system to Spliethoff
in 2012. Since then, the system has logged more than 7000 hours in compliance
with IMO regulations for Emission Control Areas (ECAs).

“This repeat 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… on January 15, 2014, Alfa Laval will open a new test and
training centre in Aalborg, Denmark to test – among other things – boilers,
scrubbers and heat exchangers for the marine and diesel industry?
