Alfa Laval books 31 vessel EGCS order for Chinese customer

The deliveries of the PureSOx systems run from early 2019 until the end of the year. Each scrubber will handle exhaust gas from one main engine and three auxiliary engines. The vessels covered by the deal include some of the largest vessels in the world. The PureSOx systems supplied are open-loop type but also hybrid-ready, which means it will be easier to convert them into hybrid systems if required.

The deliveries are supported by an extensive service agreement combining multiple services from the Alfa Laval 360° Service Portfolio, including access to parts and service engineers, face to face training and ongoing support packages, as well as data-driven services from the PureSOx Connect portfolio. “As compliance systems, the PureSOx scrubbers are more than just an equipment investment for our customer,” says Erik Haveman, Sales Director, Exhaust Gas Cleaning. “Maintaining a close service relationship with Alfa Laval will ensure that they always perform at their peak.”

As Haveman explains, the service agreement shows the depth of Alfa Laval’s commitment to supporting marine customers in environmental compliance. “We are proud to supply a large number of PureSOx exhaust gas cleaning systems, and to be chosen for proven performance at sea,” he says. “But just as importantly, we are honoured to enter a long-term partnership that will secure the customer’s own ongoing performance.”
