Alfa Laval wins order for the new waste fuel recovery system Alfa Laval PureDry
Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has won an order from one of the leading global carriers of the world to supply the Alfa Laval PureDry waste fuel recovery system to 40 vessels. The order, booked in the Marine & Diesel Equipment segment, has a value of approximately SEK 40 million and delivery is scheduled for 2014 and 2015.
The Alfa Laval PureDry system recovers all reusable fuel from a vessel’s waste fuel oil. Alfa Laval PureDry is a unique combination of separation technologies, a new type of high-speed centrifugal separator, combining a solid bowl with self-cleaning technology. The system will be installed on board 40 vessels.
“This is indeed a very significant order for our unique Alfa Laval PureDry system that is reaching wide acceptance among shipowners. The order confirms a clear confidence in this energy-saving product.” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.
Did you know that… a large ship that burns 100 metric tonnes of oil per day could potentially save about SEK 3 million in a year by installing Alfa Laval PureDry?
