Fuel-flexible and future-proof marine boiler solutions
Alfa Laval Aalborg boilers have been instrumental in the move to more sustainable fuels. They were the first marine boiler solutions for use with LNG, and today they’re being installed as the first marine boiler solutions for use with methanol. Thanks to a uniquely flexible boiler platform, they can also be ready for tomorrow – whenever you’re ready to take the next step towards decarbonization.
Technology
Fired boilers on the path to zero carbon
Today’s Alfa Laval Aalborg OL, OS-TCi and OC-TCi boilers can be fired with both traditional oils and biofuels. In addition, they can be configured for one other fuel option: LNG, methanol or ammonia (currently in pilot stage). With a further hybrid option, they can even be equipped for combustion-free steam production, using shore power or surplus electricity when available.
Your options can be implemented from the start. But we can also prepare your boiler for a later upgrade, including space for future connections and components. With our flexible boiler platform, we can easily build tomorrow’s choices into today’s boiler design.
Electric, hybrid and hybrid-ready boiler options
As shore power becomes widely available, you have opportunities to avoid direct emissions in port. The Aalborg electric steam boiler offers a dedicated solution, and new Aalborg OL, OS-TCi and OC-TCi boilers can be configured as hybrid boilers with an additional electrical connection. They can also be installed hybrid-ready, with all preparations necessary for adding electricity later.
By taking advantage of surplus electricity on board, these boilers can even reduce emissions at sea. On LNG carriers and FSRUS, for example, extra power created by the gensets during boil-off gas (BOG) management can be turned into useful steam.
Fuel-saving waste heat recovery
Our boiler expertise can also be found in our wide portfolio of waste heat recovery solutions. Alfa Laval Aalborg economizers produce steam or hot water by reclaiming exhaust gas heat, and they can be used after both main and auxiliary engines. Besides reducing fuel costs, they significantly reduce emissions and improve CII.
With 40+ years of waste heat recovery experience, we take a holistic approach that ensures the optimal economizer setup – even as a retrofit.
Complete and integrated steam solutions
Finding the best solution for your steam needs means looking at your vessel and its operations as a whole. Boilers and economizers can be integrated in multiple ways, for example to optimize the total efficiency of the steam plant or to secure full steam plant redundancy. Using the compact and versatile Alfa Laval Aalborg Micro economizer, we can provide a complete solution that meets steam requirements while minimizing energy loss, fuel costs and emissions.
