Alfa Laval inert gas solutions for crude oil tankers - 1

Alfa Laval inert gas solutions for crude oil tankersProviding cost-effective reliability Two things play a major role in how profitable your crude oil tanker can be. One is flexibility, the other is keeping costs to a minimum. Both depend on certain equipment, such as your inert gas system during offloading. Alfa Laval understands the importance of reliability in operation and predictability in maintenance, which is why our inert gas systems can be found on almost 2000 vessels. Your crude oil tanker's inert gas system is vital to safety and efficiency during offloading. We designed the Alfa Laval Smit Flue Gas system - our main solution for the crude oil tanker market - to be both reliable and efficient in every way. Reliability matters For good reason, regulations demand inert gas systems on new crude oil tankers. To avoid costly delays, penalties and above all catastrophe, your system must work whenever needed, despite continuous exposure to high temperatures and seawater. This is why Alfa Laval uses durable materials and best-quality components, and why we back up our inert gas systems with proven maintenance solutions. Spare parts are readily available and easily installed, and our systems require little maintenance overall. The Smit Flue Gas system is also low in complexity, which means there is little chance for things to go wrong. Fuel and money saved Alfa Laval also values fuel efficiency, which is important for both your tanker's economy and the environment. Instead of burning extra fuel, the Smit Flue Gas system produces inert gas by scrubbing the flue gases from your oil-fired boilers. In other words, you save money by utilizing the gas you already have on board. Very clean inert gas The quality of your inert gas is important, even if the oil you carry is less than clean. Alfa Laval is a leading supplier of marine scrubber solutions for exhaust gas cleaning and has decades of scrubbing experience in inert gas production. So you can count on excellent results with the Smit Flue Gas system. In fact, the scrubbed gas is clean enough that you can diversify your operations. Equipped with a Smit Flue Gas system, your tanker can carry distilled oil products in addition to crude.
