Alfa Laval already has a broad portfo- lio of technologies for employing gas as fuel and carrying gas as cargo, including dual-fuel boiler systems, the Alfa Laval

FCM One Gas booster system, Alfa La- val Smit inert gas systems and the Alfa

Laval GCU, as well as a range of heat ex- changers for working gas at various pres- sures. The company will be adding more systems in the immediate future.

Technology development is already underway in the newly expanded Test & Training Center: Alfa Laval is cur- rently testing a new dual-fuel burner for gas-diesel applications on smaller boil- ers, which will later be developed into a multi-fuel solution in partnership with the Technical University of Denmark.

The Center is also running a development project for large burners and boilers, with in-depth testing using both gas and diesel ? ames. In addition, the GCU will be used to test ? ame and heat ? ow characteristics under different operating conditions and thereby identify possibilities for improv- ing performance even further.

Ballast Water Treatment

With the IMO Ballast Water Manage- ment (BWM) Convention taking effect in September this year, Alfa Laval has reported increased customer interest in ballast water treatment systems and its

Alfa Laval PureBallast technology, a chemical-free system based on the En- hanced UV Reactor, developed jointly by Alfa Laval and Wallenius Water.

The company has seen particular interest in PureBallast systems with high ? ow capacities: its IMO and U.S.

Coast Guard (USCG) type-approved

PureBallast 3.1 features a single-? lter, small-footprint solution that enables higher capacities of ballast water to be processed (up to 6000 cubic meters per hour). The company recently complet- ed an agreement to supply two Korean newbuild LNG carriers with installa-
