Alfa Laval has achieved a significant milestone in advancing safe hydrogen transportation with the Approval in Principle from DNV for its Gas Combustion Unit (GCU) to be utilized on liquid hydrogen carriers. The GCU is essential for managing hydrogen boil-off gas (BOG) on these carriers, ensuring safe combustion to control tank pressure and temperature. DNV's approval underscores the technical feasibility and safety mechanisms of the GCU design, acknowledging Alfa Laval's dedication to adhering to established standards. The unique challenges posed by hydrogen's properties, such as its low boiling point and flammability, necessitate a specialized approach in designing a GCU for hydrogen carriers. Building on their expertise in LNG GCU technology, Alfa Laval is well-positioned to develop a prototype for a hydrogen GCU that will undergo rigorous testing and type approval. The company's successful track record in gas combustion technology for LNG carriers provides a foundation for adapting to the requirements of the emerging hydrogen transportation market. David Jung, Business Development Manager at Alfa Laval, emphasizes the importance of prioritizing safety and reliability in enabling technologies for hydrogen transportation. The approval from DNV signifies a step forward in ensuring the industry's confidence in transporting hydrogen safely. Alfa Laval's commitment to innovation and meeting industry standards positions them as a key player in advancing the development of safe hydrogen transportation technologies.
