Alfa Laval has marked a significant milestone in the advancement of its Gas Combustion Unit (GCU) technology for hydrogen by obtaining Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV, a leading classification society. The AiP signifies the technical feasibility and safety mechanisms of the GCU design for controlling tank pressure and temperature to safely combust hydrogen boil-off gas generated in the storage tanks of liquid hydrogen carriers. This development is crucial for ensuring safe hydrogen transportation, as venting cargo is restricted, necessitating a GCU to manage the boil-off gas. Alfa Laval's achievement with DNV's AiP validates the design concept and paves the way for the creation of a GCU prototype that will undergo rigorous testing and type approval to establish a safe and efficient system for handling hydrogen BOG on liquid carriers. This milestone not only showcases Alfa Laval's commitment to innovation but also highlights its expertise in gas combustion technology, particularly with LNG carriers, providing a solid foundation for addressing the unique challenges associated with transporting hydrogen at sea. The company's focus on safety and reliability in enabling technologies for hydrogen transportation underscores its readiness to contribute to the growth of the hydrogen market. Alfa Laval's successful track record in gas combustion technology instills confidence in the industry's ability to transport hydrogen efficiently and securely in the future.
