The Paris Agreement adopted in 2015 sets a common goal for the global GHG emissions reduction, which is to keep the increase in global average temperature to at least well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels while aiming to limit it to 1.5°C.

The World’s Most Advanced HFO Treatment Solution
PMAX INCREASE • SLUDGE REDUCTION • DEPOSIT PREVENTION • EMISSIONS CONTROL
PRI-RS is a scientifically designed additive chemistry formulated to successfully overcome the challenges associated with today’s heavy fuel oil qualities worldwide.

Check the cylinder condition frequently and ensure that the piston ring pack is clean and moving freely.
In case of deposits, use oil with higher detergency to clean.
General guidance for operation on:

PRI-OCIDE kills bugs in fuel...fast! Add PRI-OCIDE to your diesel fuel to instantly kill any bacteria, algae, or fungi that has grown in the fuel, and to prevent any further growth.

Biofuels are renewable fuels produced from biological organisms (biomass) in which the primary raw materials used are vegetable oils. Biofuels do not emit sulphur oxides (SOx) during combustion; moreover, they are generally considered to be carbon neutral because the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) they do emit during combustion tends to be absorbed by source plants, etc. during their growing stage. In addition, biofuel usage can also be advantageous when used as a drop-in marine fuel (depending on fuel type) because modifications of existing marine diesel engines converted over to biofuel use are typically not required.

PRI-D is a super concentrated, complete diesel fuel treatment for refiners, suppliers and commercial diesel consumers that improves all standard distillate grades, and is especially formulated to overcome the degraded lubricity and thermal stability characteristics of seve rely hydrotreated 0.1% MGO marine fuels and ultra low sulfur (ULSD) diesel fuels.

PRI-SOLV is the world’s only 100% concentrated, 100% organic, non-petroleum sludge dispersant for heavy marine fuels. PRI-SOLV remarkable capability to reduce fuel sludge precipitation fr om 35-to-50% keeps fuel delivery systems clean, contributing to optimum combustion characteristics The unmatched capability of PRI-SOLV delivers four primary benefits to vessel operators:

This map aims to provide a comprehensive source of information on international, regional, national and local SOx emission regulation, together with guidance on the use of exhaust gas cleaning systems as an alternative method of compliance.

Avoiding steam balance risks in 2020 and beyond How to adapt Alfa Laval Aalborg steam plants for compliant fuels

This document aims to provide information about how the use of various compliant fuel oils impacts the steam balance.
It also offers recommendations on how to best manage excess or insufficient steam production. In addition, the document contains an overview of Alfa Laval Aalborg solutions for optimizing a vessel’s steam plant operation.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has conducted emissions testing designed to determine, consistent with the emissions mitigation requirements of CARB’s Regulation on the Commercialization of Alternative Diesel Fuels (ADF regulation), that additives certified pursuant to that regulation are effective at mitigating biodiesel NOx emissions to equivalence with CARB diesel.

What are the general requirements for sulphur content of fuel oil under MARPOL Annex VI 10 now and after 1 January 2020?

The objective of these Guidelines is to establish an agreed method for sampling to enable effective control and enforcement of liquid fuel oil being used on board ships under the provisions of MARPOL Annex VI...

This document is intended to provide guidance for a harmonised approach to the inspection of ships, ascertaining their compliance, identifying non-compliances and applying control procedures for the enforcement of Council Directive 1999/32/EC, as regards the sulphur content of marine fuels (hereafter referred to as ‘the Directive’)...

This study was initiated to provide the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) with a technical assessment on the use of fuel cells in shipping that, being supported by a technology overview and risk-based analysis, will evaluate their potential and constraints as prime movers and energy sources in shipping.
