Overview of green and cost-saving technology from Aalborg Industries.
As market leading manufacturer of highly efficient and environmentally friendly equipment for the maritime market such as marine boilers and heat exchangers, thermal fluid systems and inert gas systems, the Aalborg Industries Group develops new green solutions to support our customers in building and operating their commercial fleet to the highest standard for low environmental impact.
Waste Heat Recovery
New and more efficient exhaust gas Waste Heat Recovery systems utilizing the heat in the exhaust after diesel engines or gas turbines to further improve the total efficiency of the propulsion plant, thereby reducing fuel consumption.
M.E. Exhaust gas scrubbers
Exhaust gas scrubber system after
diesel Main Engines significantly
reducing the sulphur oxide (SOx)
emission as well as emission of particles.
Economizer after aux. engines
For new installations or retrofit, an
efficient exhaust gas economizer
utilizing the heat in the exhaust gas
from the auxiliary engines during
port stays will significantly
reduce the oil consumption for
the oil-fired boiler.
Ballast water treatment
In a joint venture with Aquaworx, Germany, Aalborg Industries will develop ballast water treatment equipment meeting IMO regulations to prevent, minimize and ultimately eliminate the transfer of harmful aquaticorganisms and pathogens.
Superheater for aux. boilers
Installing a superheater on an auxiliary boiler will increase the efficiency of the cargo pump turbine substantially and reduce the fuel consumption and emissions during discharge operation on crude oil carriers.
MGO burner modification
Aalborg Industries is developing a solution to facilitate safe and easy switching between fuels from HFO to MGO or MDO and back as required in ports in Europe and USA. Firing with MGO in ports is required to limit emissions of sulphur oxides (SOx) as per IMO, US and EU regulations.
Cooling system for LNG
Aalborg Industries Inert Gas Systems has developed a new cooling system for LNG carriers using a mere 10% of the usual quantity of Freon (which is a known greenhouse gas) while also using the new, environmentally friendly Freon type.
Electrical Steam Generation
Connected to the auxiliary steam
boiler, the VESTA™ EH-S heater is for certain ship types replacing or acting as a Donkey boiler and an alternative to conversion of boilers for MGO operation. The VESTA™ EH-S heater complies with European standards and is designed for easy approval by the classification societies.
