DNV GL approval for digital boiler system

This certification joins the company’s earlier type approval for its Digi Boiler automated dosing system.

Rune Nygaard, business manager ventures in Wilhelmsen Marine Products’ recently established Open Innovation division said that type approval was an absolute necessary. “In addition, having Wilhelmsen approved as a service supplier on behalf of DNV GL, as part of their BMON+ program would constitute a great benefit to our customers,” he said. “They could have less frequent class inspections and therefore a lot more flexibility, on top of a better boiler protection.”

Wilhelmsen’s Digi Boiler system monitors boiler water condition and doses the required amount of chemicals as and when required. It is based on an automated test and treat methodology controlled by pH, ORP and conductivity for boiler water control in combination with temperature, pressure and flow for sample consistency and safety.

Now in its third and final iteration following the transition from a working prototype, Digi Boiler is available to the wider market including a scheduled installation with offshore floating platform supplier and operator, Modec.
