Having delivered two test systems for ammonia-fueled engines developed by Swiss engine designer WinGD, Swedish marine technology company Alfa Laval is gearing up to supply its first fuel systems for ammonia-fueled vessels by the end of 2025.
Building on the partnership with WinGD established in late 2023, Alfa Laval has delivered two test fuel supply systems for ammonia-fueled engines, including a fuel valve train and a vent treatment system.
The Alfa Laval FCM ammonia fuel supply system design will be validated by the end of 2024, with the first marine delivery expected by the end of 2025.
Under a recent memorandum of understanding (MoU), Alfa Laval is collaborating with WinGD, the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), and K Shipbuilding (KSB) to drive the necessary technological advancements in an ammonia-fueled MR tanker design.
Recently, the scope expanded to include designing an ammonia dual-fuel boiler system that will handle purge/boil-off gas and meet the vessel’s heat demands to minimize energy consumption and ensure safe operations.
