Alfa Laval Gets Waste Fuel Recovery Order for 40 Ships
Technology company Alfa Laval says "one of the leading global carriers" has ordered its waste fuel recovery systems for 40 vessels, a SEK 40 million ($6.1 million) deal.
The Alfa Laval PureDry system recovers reusable fuel from vessels' waste fuel oil using a combined technology including a high-speed centrifugal separator.
"This is indeed a very significant order for our unique Alfa Laval PureDry system that is reaching wide acceptance among shipowners," said President and CEO Lars Renström.
"The order confirms a clear confidence in this energy-saving product."
Alfa Laval says that a large ship that burns 100 metric tonnes (mt) of oil per day could save SEK 3 million ($460,000) in a year by using the PureDry system.
Baltic ferry operator AS Tallink Grupp (Tallink) installed one of the PureDry units last year, cutting fuel costs by up to 2 percent and reducing waste disposal fees.
