Fuel Efficiency Module for Smit Inert Gas Systems

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

The Alfa Laval Automatic Fuel Efficiency Module (AFEM) is a new modification for reducing the fuel consumption of Alfa Laval Smit Combustion inert gas systems. It does so by ensuring that the inert gas, which keeps cargo safe during offloading, is only generated in the exact amounts required. In a two-year pilot project, the AFEM allowed Italian shipping company, Navigazione Montanari S.p.A. to achieve an average fuel savings of 30%.

For vessels with Smit Combustion systems already installed, the AFEM will soon be available as a retrofit installed and commissioned by a trained Alfa Laval service engineer. For new inert gas systems, the AFEM will be available as an added option, at the time of the original installation.
