Innovating at the Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre
At the Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre, the solutions and knowledge for working with LNG on board continue to develop. The facility’s 2800 m2 of testing space include a dedicated LNG process line with a full-size GCU. This unique R&D resource is providing deeper insights into both gas handling and combustion – not only for LNG, but also for other alternative fuels. The efforts will ensure safety and efficiency on tomorrow's more sustainable shipping.
Further potential in auxiliary exhaust
Recovering heat energy from auxillary engine exhaust, for example, can do more than meet steam needs in port. For vessels whose long-stroke main engines produce cooler exhaust, it can also provide a needed boost in steam production an route.
Not limited to serving onboard equipment, today's wate heat recovery systems can even be constructed to provide a boost in propulsion.
