For vessels in the 40,000– 65,000 DWT dimension variety, such as handymax bulkers or item vessels, the expense of mounting a SOx scrubber has actually occasionally surpassed the advantages. Now Alfa Laval is supplying a remedy meant to makes it easier for these vessels to proceed making use of HFO as well as adhere to SOx guidelines.
The brand-new PureSOx Express is an open-loop PureSOx system supplied as a fully-enclosed component. Adapted for an easy as well as inexpensive fit, it decreases the financial investment expense, design time as well as manual labor of mounting a scrubber.
“PureSOx Express uses the proven PureSOx technology that’s already used on hundreds of vessels,” states Steven Pieters, sales supervisor,Exhaust Gas Cleaning “But it can be lifted on board and connected without a specialized scrubber team, which means less work at the shipyard and an installation time of just 10–14 days. Not only is the initial investment lower, the vessel can return more quickly to its money-making operations.”
Prefabricated as well as preconfigured, PureSOx Express is developed for as much as 75 tonnes of exhaust gas per hr as well as engine power as much as 10 MW. This makes it a one-size-fits-all service for lots of vessels of 40,000– 65,000 DWT, which generally consist of bulkers as well as item vessels.
Though supplied as an open-loop system, PureSOx Express is hybrid-ready, with links existing for a later conversion to a crossbreed system.
“Customers who hesitate to commit to a hybrid can feel comfortable choosing PureSOx Express,” statesPieters “PureSOx Express offers flexibility to add equipment for closed-loop operation down the road, should they need to meet stricter water discharge regulations.”
Alfa Laval states that while PureSOx Express is simple to mount as well as deal with, it reduces no edges when it involves integrity, feature or solution. In enhancement to a jam-packed scrubber bed, it includes an efficient water catch that makes sure security by avoiding any kind of heartburn to the engine. Steered with Alfa Laval Touch Control similarly as various other PureSOx systems, it uses the exact same convenience of usage as well as connection choices.
“Since the first PureSOx system sailed in 2009, we’ve optimized our offering by learning from each installation,” statesPieters “All that knowledge has also gone into PureSOx Express. No matter which type of PureSOx system they install, customers can count on efficient compliance, supported by Alfa Laval’s global network and a comprehensive portfolio of scrubber services—including data-driven services through PureSOx Connect. PureSOx Express is yet another way of keeping our customers ahead.”
