Alfa Laval on Tuesday (21 May) said it has received over 100 orders for its low-flashpoint fuel supply system (LFSS) FCM Methanol.
Alfa Laval is at its third generation of FCM Methanol and the most recent orders are utilising the latest generation of this solution.
The first vessels equipped with the system are nearing their second dry dock inspections, with the technology demonstrating an exceptional performance track record in terms of safety, reliability, and user-friendliness.
With over 50 years of experience in fuel treatment, Alfa Laval said it has established the FCM Methanol as a reliable solution for methanol handling.
“Introduced in 2015, the system has the longest operational experience in the market with over 450,000 running hours at sea,” it said in a statement.
“Our journey to this point would not be possible without precious partnerships with engine designers, shipyards and great cooperation with shipowners who are precursors in adopting alternative fuels,” said Viktor Friberg, Head of Marine Separation & Fuel Supply Systems, Alfa Laval.
“Together, we will continue to develop fuel treatment solutions for alternative fuels and support the maritime industry’s ambition to meet the climate targets.”
Alfa Laval also said it is actively collaborating with MAN ES to develop a fuel supply system for 4-stroke engines and is also partnering with WinGD to have a solution soon ready for ammonia for 2-stroke engines.
