Alfa Laval AFEM mod saves fuel costs

摘要

Alfa Laval's Automatic Fuel Efficiency Module (AFEM) has a new modification for reducing the fuel consumption of Alfa Laval Smit Combustion inert gas systems. Fuel consumption is reduced by ensuring the inert gas that 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%.
