Alfa Laval’s prestigious ‘Gustaf Award’ goes to the PureSOx exhaust gas cleaning team

Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling – gives the ‘Gustaf Award’, established to recognize true innovation,
to the Alfa Laval PureSOx team for an extraordinary product and commercial
development. The prize was awarded at Alfa Laval’s Annual General Meeting, held
in Lund, Sweden, Thursday.
The Gustav Award was established in conjunction with Alfa Laval's 100th
anniversary in 1983, as an expression of Alfa Laval's belief in continuous
innovation. The award aims to encourage and reward efforts that are of great
significance to Alfa Laval’s business.

The Alfa Laval PureSOx team consists of Martijn Bergink, Rene Diks, Kristina
Effler, Jens Peter Hansen and Olaf Heijers. They received the award at a special
ceremony during the AGM.

“The team behind Alfa Laval PureSOx has successfully developed an innovative
technical solution that meets the new environmental legislations as well as
customer needs,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.
“Already today, the Alfa Laval Pure SOx is an established solution with a global
market leading position.”

Alfa Laval PureSOx was launched in September 2012 and is a successful synergy
from the acquisition of Aalborg Industries in 2011. It is one of the market
-leading alternatives for complying with the sulphur limits imposed by IMO.
Since its launch, and up until the end of the first quarter 2015, Alfa Laval has
taken orders for 78 systems for 71 vessels. Alfa Laval PureSOx is available both
as a hybrid system (running on both sea water and freshwater) and as a closed
-loop system. The water cleaning unit used in closed-loop mode is the most
compact solution in the market.

Did you know that… the first ‘Gustaf Award’ was given in 1986 to Lennart
Stenström for his ideas of using microwaves in the food preservation process?
