Alfa Laval has received Approval in Principle from DNV for its Gas Combustion Unit (GCU) to be utilized on liquid hydrogen carriers, marking a crucial advancement in the safe transportation of hydrogen at sea. The GCU plays a vital role in controlling tank pressure and temperature to safely combust hydrogen boil-off gas (BOG) from the vessel's storage tank, addressing the challenges posed by hydrogen's unique properties. The Approval in Principle affirms the technical feasibility and safety mechanisms of Alfa Laval's GCU design, paving the way for the development of a prototype that will undergo further testing and type approval. Unlike LNG, hydrogen transportation presents distinct challenges due to its low boiling point and flammability, necessitating adjustments in the design for safe and efficient operation. Alfa Laval's expertise in LNG GCU technology provides a solid foundation for the hydrogen application, with over 200 successful installations and a strong track record in the industry. The company's achievement in obtaining Approval in Principle demonstrates its commitment to innovation and safety in the marine transportation sector, with a focus on environmental impact and engineering excellence.
