Now in its second generation, the system has generated 70 orders as shipping operators look to comply with the enforcement of Emission Control Areas (ECAs) through exhaust gas cleaning.
The orders include two full-scale pilot installations and the first deals struck in the US and Asia.
“Shortly after its launch at SMM 2014 in Hamburg, we received orders for the second-generation system from Atlantic Container Line, Royal Caribbean Cruises and Horizon Lines,” said René Diks, manager marketing and sales, Exhaust Gas Cleaning at Alfa Laval.
PureSOx allows for the continued use of heavy fuel oil while meeting emission limits in ECAs.
The system’s first class approvals have been granted from Lloyd’s Register for the DFDS Petunia and Primula Seaways while the recently opened test and training centre in Denmark is helping with development.
“We are continuously developing and enhancing PureSOx. We are currently preparing for the launch of an inline version during the course of 2015,” added Mr Diks.
