Alfa Laval to Suppy Pumping Systems for China-built FPSO
Swedish company Alfa Laval has won an order to supply Framo pumping systems to an FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) vessel to be built in China.
The provider of specialized products and engineering solutions based on its key technologies of heat transfer, separation and fluid handling said in a press release that the order has a value of approximately SEK 70 million ($7.72 mln).
It was booked late September in the Pumping Systems unit of the Marine Division, with deliveries scheduled for 2019.
The order comprises marine pumping systems for crude oil offloading, slop, produced water, off-spec oil and ballast pump duties.
"I am pleased to announce this order for our Framo pumping systems. These are part of our wide offering for the marine and offshore industries where they are highly recognized for their reliable performance," says Peter Leifland, President of the Marine Division.
Alfa Laval claims that it has 17 product groups for the marine and offshore industries, including several products to help ship owners comply with the new marine environmental legislations
