Alfa Laval announces the launch of a new fuel-conditioning module (FCM) which prepares Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) for seamless use in marine engines.
The new module marks the expansion of Alfa Laval’s portfolio for alternative fuels, integrating cryogenic technology to deliver a holistic and highly reliable fuel supply solution for shipowners adopting LNG as a fuel.
The LNG fuel supply system features advanced cryogenic technology, a new technology for Alfa Laval following a recent acquisition of the French company Fives Energy Cryogenics. This enables Alfa Laval to deliver a high-performance system that enables customers to adopt LNG efficiently and safely as a marine fuel.
“Transitioning to new fuels is at the forefront of our product development, and over the past five years, we have seen clear demand from shipowners for solutions that support this shift. Our customers are proactively preparing for the future, and this momentum will only accelerate. LNG continues to be the leading alternative fuel in the maritime industry, and by leveraging advanced cryogenic technology, we can deliver a highly reliable system that provides tangible value and addresses the evolving market needs for LNG adoption,” says Martijn Bergink, President of Marine Division, Alfa Laval.
The first test benches for the FCM LNG will be delivered during 2026, with the system ready for marine delivery in 2027.
